Original source: tuningblog.eu

In Brief

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the updated Marco Polo for 2026/2027. Key changes include a new aluminium pop-up roof, 10 cm taller, and the shift of production to the Ludwigsfelde plant.

Mercedes-Benz has presented the updated Marco Polo camper based on the V-Class. The main innovation is a two-layer aluminium pop-up roof, 10 cm higher than the previous fibreglass version, improving insulation. The roof can be opened electrically.

Inside, a more efficient compressor refrigerator (25% more economical), perimeter LED lighting with adjustable scenes, and control of all functions via the MBAC system or smartphone are featured. Magnetic sun blinds and a premium 8-speaker audio system are also new.

Production has been fully moved to the Mercedes-Benz Vans plant in Ludwigsfelde, Germany, ending the partnership with Westfalia. The company says this will reduce delivery times and improve quality control. The Horizon model with an optional kitchen remains in the lineup. The premiere will take place at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf from August 28 to September 6, 2026. The starting price is around 80,000 euros. Diesel engines range from 163 to 237 hp.
