That's a bad idea. Insurance is a "per person" type of thing. My premiums won't be the same as yours. The same can be said about vehicle finance, my credit score might be trash than yours, naturally interest rates will be different and besides...the videos will no longer be "bite sized" especially for RUclips, although it's good for viewer retention, it's trash because human beings get bored too quickly. What you are asking is something you should be doing on your own anyway...laziness?
I love the Merc, but that price is unreasonable. So I'm like you, Kia Carnival for the win. Beautiful MPV that one, slightly looks like an SUV, doesn't give too much bus vibes. To think that the Merc the VW weren't far off not so long ago, now almost a million apart. Spec for spec that is. Tenderpreneurs made this car too expensive.
@@SiyaMajikela Like I said in my comment, the Merc may be better but it is not R300k better. Anyway, what tells me you are a far worse domkop than me is that you couldn't make a point without resorting to insults. If you didn't agree with me its fine. Im too old to think everyone should agree with me otherwise they deserve insults or to even think I need to spend ober R300k of my hard earned money just to be seen in a german brand. 10 to 15 years ago, maybe. Not today. If thats your lane, its fine. Its your money after all and Im just someone who expressed their opinion on a comment with my reasons not insults. I don't know you and you dont know me. 👍👍
A superb vehicle in its segment no doubt you will stand out. Price wise its respectable but the downside to that is the vehicle interior is starting to look dated, there is nothing wrong with it but there is just something missing. Nice touch of Mercedes to include the roof box standard, bet its bundled in the R2M price, but a nice touch although it looked a bit plastic when opening it or is it just me that was expecting it to open electrically 😄

Eish- the best or nothing 😮😅 Personally if I bought the Merc I’ll simply buy a slightly preowned V class with all bells and whistles and save thousands But yeah it’s very premium but that Staria is better value for money🤦🏾♂️🥺 By the way these V classes fly on the freeway hey leave you like you standing still😂
Bro, they really send the most basic rudimentary stuff to South Africa and tax you on it. Only a Hospital who looks to transport old grandmothers would buy this thing in Europe. I live here now and it’s as clear as day.
Can you consider a comparison with it's rivals, VW Caravelle T6. 1/ Hyundai Staria 2.2D Luxury/ Toyota Quantum 2.8 VX & Ford Tourneo Custom Ltd Auto. Surprisingly, the Quantum looks the more expensive of them all..?
As a Merc team fan I felt that, I'm pretty sure if Hamilton heard that he would agree 😂😂😂. I hope Toto Wolf stop concentrating on making roof boxes and make a fast F1 cars 😂😂😂😂
@@24k__J no I mean overrated... It's a panel van with a 2litre diesel engine thats almost 20 years old now ...do the leather seats and trimmings warrant it's ridiculous price and status?
absolute madness...just wrap your current v-class,wrap the rims. done. 2m, there's no easy way to access the roof rack, its look cheap, the table OMG.....
Mercedes really know that V Class target market. The R2 million is nothing for those tenderpreneurs. They will be rushing in the middle of the night with blue lights on
Paddle shifters in an MPV? These manufacturers have lost the plot. The shifters and carbon fibre are certainly out of place in this vehicle. The old school instrument cluster is a good thing.
The design is so old, poor luggage capacity and the constant patch up work is an eyesore. Unless you are a merc fan and a badge fanatic with deep pocket...it's not worth half the asking 2mil price.
What a family car🙌 but they normally use it to carry abo Mbali nabo Lerato ebusuku
😂😂😂
Hahaha
4ken car!!!!!
The family car that never has a family in it💀
@@gamersquadlifestyle 😂😂😂😂😂
The lack of a digital instrument cluster and USB port in the back is unforgivable in a R2m car in 2023.
I was looking for this exact comment! Should be punishable by death
You can say that again... This is a scam
I prefer analogue. Don't want tech for tech sake. Screens sometimes switch off by themselves. These don't look classy though like a lexus lx
In a world of streaming and Bluetooth, do we need a USB to store MP3 files?
@@karabokotsedi8267 it's more for charging phones than streaming music.
That thing probably has a 150% profit margin

Agreed! Where’s the nearest Mercedes dealership 😂
it probably costs mercedes to make it like 300k tops, but they sell it for 2 million 😂

I think you guys should start doing the installment breakdown, insurance etc. when you get to the price. It really helps

"If you dont have a step ladder, see if your real ladder is available" - LOL! Brutal
There's nothing limited about this car.
I think they should've just sold the roof box as a limited accessory.
There is something nice about watching cars you cant afford 😁😁
Very nice bus! But it makes the (also nice) Caravelle 4MOTION look like a bargain.
it is compared to this, R2m is no joke
Car prices are getting ridiculous everyday.
If this is R2.1 million. That means the facelift they releasing next year will R2.5 million and more. Crazy prices
Now this is an ESKOM-special...
I like that you also thought the tables are for the travelling tender-trepreneur; this is where all our taxes are disappearing to...
I want an AMG Roofbox! Thing looks like it has been inspired by Project One.
Rather wait for ID BUZZ can't pay 2m for something with Renault parts 😂😅
Definitely a BMW fan boy
😆"Thats why their cars were slow this year because they were designing roof-boxes instead of concentrating on formular 1 cars."🤣
Keep this guy as the main guy doing the reviews
No ways we like them both
Ciro is one of the best in the RUclips care review business but Ashley has come a log way since his first review. Really enjoying his reviews too now

The Cadres will really love this
You've reviewed Caravelle, now V-Class. Please review Zarifa Life Elegance and Staria Luxury next.
Would love the Staria review
Eish- the best or nothing 😮😅
Personally if I bought the Merc I’ll simply buy a slightly preowned V class with all bells and whistles and save thousands
But yeah it’s very premium but that Staria is better value for money🤦🏾♂️🥺
By the way these V classes fly on the freeway hey leave you like you standing still😂
Great review as always
Thank you!
Do some tenders 🤣, i nearly split my drink.
Limited edition i like it, especially black color or Navy so classic
You know you are a doing tender corruption when driving this in South Africa😂😂
Ive heard that the cabin sounds are annoying , and specially coming from the slide doors , is that so ? By the way fantastic review
Water Pump breaking and mechatronic breaking are a norm with VW. The best VW in my opinion is the polo vivo.
A lovely review indeed love the colour. Can we get a bmw x7 m60i review?? 😍🙏🙏🙏
The cockpit is out of date. That instrument cluster and steering literally looks like the ones in a 2015 c-class.
i'll buy a used one without a roofbox.. cant suffer like that
New model coming out - make sure you get a BOTTOM price on this version, it will drop price quickly.
For me, Hyundai Staria over a V-Class anyday.
My stepladder said you owe it 5 minutes 😅😂 🥊💪🏾
"And do some tenders" 😂
Nothing about this car says R2.1 million
My thought exactly
This vs Kia Carnival?
The ultimate tenderpreneur Mercedes Benz
if only he knew what its used for
For that price, I'd rather get a Sprinter and customize it. Way more space
Only tenderprenuers have 2 million to buy a special edition that’s not special at all😂
Bro, they really send the most basic rudimentary stuff to South Africa and tax you on it. Only a Hospital who looks to transport old grandmothers would buy this thing in Europe.
I live here now and it’s as clear as day.
😂😂 space for your colleague to take out their laptop and do some "tenders"
There is a refresh coming...
Eisanne...2 meter straight!?
Maybe in 2040 I will get one at 150,000
😅
On behalf of tenderpreneurs I approve, the slay queens and corrupt government will ride in comfort.🤣
Can you consider a comparison with it's rivals, VW Caravelle T6. 1/ Hyundai Staria 2.2D Luxury/ Toyota Quantum 2.8 VX & Ford Tourneo Custom Ltd Auto. Surprisingly, the Quantum looks the more expensive of them all..?
There is that thing called "badge/image bias"... Even with that Quantum will never shake off that taxi rank image.
this guy is lowkey funny
Gonna say it from CT, Carjack opportunity?
all i'm interested in is the topbox
I'd recommend the V250d, it's cheaper than the v300d
Duh .obviaaas
when you have the v250 u get no options and by the time u add nice options you're already at a v300 range
They were designing roof boxes instead of formula 1 cars 😂😂💔
As a Merc team fan I felt that, I'm pretty sure if Hamilton heard that he would agree 😂😂😂. I hope Toto Wolf stop concentrating on making roof boxes and make a fast F1 cars 😂😂😂😂
This IS the facelift.
For that amount one can buy a Toyota Quantum vx premium luxury and a GD6 double cab
The quantum will be stolen in a week and stripped for taxi parts.
R2000-000 that's too much money 🤑💰💸
last night i had a dream i owned and drive a v class
The Chesa nyama kombi
Step Ladder, get a Real Ladder #dadjoke classic
i would rob a bank for that beast

absolute madness...just wrap your current v-class,wrap the rims. done. 2m, there's no easy way to access the roof rack, its look cheap, the table OMG.....
Those tables goes in like harshly yoh not worth 2m
On Twitter its known as a Funken Car!!!
To all South Africans. It's call a f__k car😂😂let me have. Beautiful review.
Mercedes really know that V Class target market. The R2 million is nothing for those tenderpreneurs. They will be rushing in the middle of the night with blue lights on
I'd go for DAS AUTO T6.1 AllDay ErDay
If i need public transport, would rather put family is a bus for 50 bucks, and still buy 2 cars worth the money
And do some tenders 😂
I won't say anything 😅
The v class in my opinion is aan overpriced car with what it is providing .I feel like twice mil is another level of craziness
Paddle shifters in an MPV? These manufacturers have lost the plot. The shifters and carbon fibre are certainly out of place in this vehicle. The old school instrument cluster is a good thing.
I'd rather buy a second hand v250d with low mileage on it
I feel like this guy is definitely not selling this car… seems he already has a favourite and it’s not the V class 🚮
Archie Moroka!
A very expensive taxi. 2 meter is a lot of money.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see R2m in this vehicle, I see max R1m
Lol a hilux or raptor is in that league
Nothing screams special edition 😢
The design is so old, poor luggage capacity and the constant patch up work is an eyesore. Unless you are a merc fan and a badge fanatic with deep pocket...it's not worth half the asking 2mil price.
rather get an m4 for that much
Thats a f**n car not a v-class here in SA
KIA carnival and Hyundai staria are better bargain than this expensive bucket
Ibus lakithi 😂😂😂
This one is for the Tenderprenuers and Forex Gents😂
Not sure about this one, there's nothing really special/wow about this.
2 million for a dinosaur
This reviewing whole driving is disrtucting ... kept on thinking you'll crush
It's way too over priced I wouldn't buy it for this price....I'll pass thank you.
Not worth 2M
….
Really a waste of money
NOT WORTH 2 MILLION. CASE CLOSED.
What nonsense is this? I don't data 😐 for watching insurance company advertising 😠 😡 😤
This thing is overrated and overpriced but it will sell well without a doubt
Honestly is worthy 2 million besides lack of USB ports you feel business inside this car
Is Luxury worth it
@@89671989 , agree
It's not worth it
I am not impressed 😐 😒 not at all
