Mercedes gave us a sneak peek of its “Vision V” electric van concept, complete with 65-inch TV screen in its private jet-like interior, ahead of its US unveil at Pebble Beach.The Vision V concept was unveiled in Shanghai, China back in April, but now it has touched down in the US for the first time and we got a little time to check it out in Los Angeles.In short, it’s a look at what kind of ultra-luxury experience Mercedes might be able to offer from its upcoming electric van, built on its VAN.EA architecture, which will underpin not just consumer vans but larger commercial vans.Although, Mercedes repeatedly told us that this is a “grand limousine,” rather than a van.And while this is just a concept, it shows an idea of the kind of luxury appointments that might be available in Mercedes’ upcoming VLS – which should hit the road as early as 2026, along with a less luxury-focused VLE.We’ve seen the VLE driving around in camouflage, but here’s a look at what the model might look like underneath the camouflage. There’s a lot here that won’t make it to production – but Mercedes assured us that the production version would look a lot more like the concept than we might think.Mercedes Vision V exterior – it’s mighty shinyImmediately on walking up to this thing, it’s shiny. Not unexpected from a concept car that has been babied and prepped by a whole crew of people, and the chrome doesn’t hurt either.We were looking at the car the same day that Mercedes unveiled its new GLC EV grille design, so we got flashy grilles from both sides that day. The GLC has a heavily backlit, pixelated grille, while the Vision V has a big chrome face, though also surrounded by LED lights.It was an extremely bright day out in California, so the lights didn’t really show up all that well in the summer sun, but we could still see them in person.They surround not just the grille, but the headlight strip, Mercedes logo and even the wheel rims, with hundreds of individual LED elements in total. The lights had a walk-up animation, but could possibly be used for other types of communication (showing charge level on a charging car, for example).
