Mercedes-Benz has presented the updated Marco Polo camper. The key innovation is a two-layer aluminium pop-up roof that increases rear interior height by 100 mm (to 370 mm). Options include LED ambient lighting, a sliding panoramic sunroof, a removable awning, magnetic quick-mount curtains and an eight-speaker audio system with subwoofer.
Inside, there is a 40-litre refrigerator with 25% improved energy efficiency, a two-burner gas stove, a sink, a folding table and convertible seats. The rear bench transforms into a sleeping area. The vehicle features a 12.3-inch display.
The engine lineup comprises three four-cylinder diesels: 120 kW/380 Nm, 140 kW/440 Nm and 174 kW/500 Nm, all paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are available.
According to one source, European sales will start after August 5 at a price from 80,000 euros. According to another, ordering opens on August 5, and the price has not yet been announced (the previous model started at 80,664 euros in Germany).
