Updated Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo: production moves to Germany
© くるまのニュース

Mercedes-Benz has refreshed the Marco Polo camper (based on the V-Class) for the 2026/2027 model year. Key updates include an aluminum pop-up roof with 10 cm more headroom, improved insulation, a digital cockpit with two 12.3-inch screens, and smartphone control. Production has moved to Ludwigsfelde, Germany; European sales begin in the second half of 2026.

Key changes The V-Class-based camper features a power-operated aluminum pop-up roof (height increased by 10 cm), enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation, magnetic blackout screens, and configurable LED ambient lighting. The interior receives wood trim and leather upholstery, plus a redesigned kitchenette with a refrigerator.

Technology and variants Inside, two 12.3-inch displays make up the digital panel; lighting and audio CAN be managed via a smartphone app. Power comes from a 2.0-liter diesel engine producing up to 237 hp. A simplified Horizon version without the kitchen unit is also offered.

Production and market launch Assembly has shifted from the Westfalia plant in Gotha to Mercedes-Benz’s own facility in Ludwigsfelde, Germany. The model will debut at the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf (August 28 – September 6, 2026). European sales begin in the second half of 2026; an electric version is expected on the next-generation V-Class platform by the end of the decade.

Digital Pathfinder: What the Garmin Womonavi Can Do

The Garmin Camper 795 MT-D EU is a specialized navigation system for motorhomes and caravans. It warns about low bridges, height and weight restrictions, and environmental zones. In testing, the device correctly identified height limits in nine out of ten cases but occasionally made errors, such as declaring a campsite access road a no-go zone. The system also draws significant power from the vehicle's electrical system.
