Mercedes-Benz has updated its factory-built Marco Polo camper based on the V-Class. Production has been moved from the Westfalia plant in Gotha to the company's own line in Ludwigsfelde, Germany, which the company says will improve quality and shorten delivery times.
Key updates
- Roof: new electrically operated aluminium pop-up roof with 10 cm more headroom, improved sound and thermal insulation.
- Interior: premium materials (wood floor, leather trim), magnetic blackout blinds, configurable LED ambient lighting.
- Technology: digital cockpit with two 12.3-inch screens, control of lighting and audio via smartphone.
- Kitchen: updated kitchen with refrigerator. A simplified Horizon version without a kitchen is also available.
The model retains a 2.0-litre diesel engine with up to 237 hp. The premiere will take place at the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf (28 August – 6 September 2026). European sales begin in the second half of 2026. A next-generation model on the next V-Class platform, including an electric version, is expected by the end of the decade.
