British van drivers will soon be able to order an exclusive version of the Mercedes-Benz Vito.
The Sport-X is unique to the Vito Crew Cab range in the UK market. The special edition marks the 130th anniversary of Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz says the Vito Sport-X boasts a motorsport-inspired exterior design, plus a host of bespoke styling elements inside. It also comes with additional standard equipment.
Intended as the flagship of the Vito lineup, the Sport-X is based on the existing Select trim level. It joins the growing ranks of sporty looking vans now available to British buyers.
Motorsport style for van life
Key design changes for the Vito Sport-X include a bespoke front bumper, combined with an integrated splitter and a revised front grille.
New side skirts and a large rear spoiler are fitted, while gloss black is used for the door handles and side mirror caps. To ensure everyone knows you opted for the fanciest Vito, Sport-X exterior graphics are also part of the package.
A set of 19-inch diamond-cut black alloy wheels add to the sporty makeover, contrasting with the standard Alpine Grey paintwork. Buyers can also choose Sodalite Blue, Obsidian Black, Kalahari Gold, High Tech Silver, Graphite Grey or Hyacinth Red at no extra cost.
On the inside, Mercedes has replaced the usual three-seat front bench with two individual sports seats. These feature integrated headrests, and are clad in a combination of black eco-leather and dark grey suede, with orange contrast stitching.
Vito Sport-X orders begin next month
A host of additional equipment for the Vito Sport-X includes heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a centre console with wireless smartphone charging included.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are also supplied, along with air conditioning, enhanced ambient interior lighting and a parking package with a reversing camera.
Powering the Sport-X is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine producing 190hp, combined with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Acceleration from 0-62mph takes a brisk 10 seconds.
Initially available as a five-seat crew van in L2 and L3 body lengths, the Sport-X offers a payload of 556kg for the L2, or 733kg in L3 size.
Prices for the Vito Sport-X start from £56,995 excluding VAT, and orders can be placed from September 2026.
This includes a three-year, unlimited-mileage warranty that incorporates roadside assistance in the UK and Europe.
