Mercedes-Benz is upping the luxury ante with its Viano Vision Pearl that is due to make its debut at the Frankfurt motor show in September.
The six-seater comes with white and grey leather upholstery, brushed aluminium trim, a Bang and Olufsen stereo and even wooden floors. There's also chromatically tinting windows so rear occupants need never be blinded by the sun.
Mercedes says the inspiration for the Vision Pearl was luxury yachts and the aim is to "make travel an experience". Helping here is on-board internet access and what Merc says is "not so much a functional space for transport but a living space".
Outside, the Vision Pearl has mango pearl grey paint that is a matt pebble colour. There are also LED daytime running lights and unique alloy wheels.
