The VLE is the definitive choice for large families, executive shuttle operators, or those who truly want a “home on wheels” for long-distance travel.

It is the spiritual and electric successor to the V-Class, elevating the passenger experience to S-Class levels of comfort.

Currently entering production in Spain for European markets, with China to follow, the VLE represents the pinnacle of premium electric people-hauling. Its blend of utility and opulence currently has no direct, like-for-like rival in the luxury EV space.
