ATLANTA (June 22, 2026) – With the all-new electric VLE, Mercedes-Benz introduces a vehicle that combines the comfort and refinement of a limousine with exceptional interior space and flexibility. The vehicle brings together the best of both worlds: it delivers the smooth ride and driving characteristics expected from a Mercedes-Benz, while offering a highly versatile interior designed for a wide range of uses. Thanks to the Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS), the VLE is continuously updated over-the-air and technically prepared for advanced driver assistance functionality.

The VLE excels in every aspect of the driving experience, delivering tremendous driving pleasure with complete confidence and ease. In the city, it offers confident maneuverability and ease of handling, while on long-distance journeys it delivers the comfort and serenity of a premium limousine. At the same time, the VLE sets new benchmarks in electric efficiency, consuming less than 20 kWh per 100 kilometers. With more than 700 kilometers1 of estimated WLTP range and the ability to recharge up to 355 kilometers of range (WLTP) in just 15 minutes2, even long journeys become effortless.

With room for up to eight adults in highly flexible, full-size seats, the VLE adapts to every journey and its requirements. The electrically adjustable seats can be easily moved via app and head unit (Remote Variable Rear Space). Rear passengers can also individually adjust their seating position using dedicated controls. The manually operated seats feature four integrated wheels and can be effortlessly moved along the rails, locked in position, or easily removed and, via Roll & Go,4 rolled into the garage.

Depending on the selected specification, the VLE is equipped with three seating rows and provides generous cargo capacity. With an overall length of 215.9 inches, if all seats are removed, the VLE boasts up to 152 cubic feet of cargo space, providing ample space for luggage or sporting equipment.

“With the all-new VLE, we are redefining electric mobility for families, businesses and leisure-active customers alike. Our Grand Limousine for up to eight people is exceptionally spacious, intelligent, efficient and delivers impressive agility and long-distance comfort. The VLE is perfectly designed around real customer needs – and engineered to further exceed their expectations.”

– Thomas Klein, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans

“The all-new electric VLE is a genuine gamechanger. With seven-degree rear-axle steering and AIRMATIC air suspension it handles like a compact car and rides like a true premium limousine. And with more than 700 kilometers of WLTP range5 and up to 355 kilometers of range (WLTP) recharged in 15 minutes6, the VLE redefines what everyday electric mobility can mean for a vehicle of this size.”

– Andreas Zygan, Head of Development, Mercedes-Benz Vans
