Overview

The Mercedes-Benz Vito (W638) is a mid-sized light commercial vehicle produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1996 to 2003. It was available as a panel van, chassis cab, or multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), carrying cargo or up to eight passengers. Positioned between the larger Sprinter and smaller Citan in the Mercedes lineup, it offered diesel and gasoline engines with front-wheel drive. The Vito Traveliner/V-Class/Viano variant provided passenger accommodations, featuring less van-like characteristics such as a more spacious seating capacity.
