New Features

There are also some new updates about infotainment systems in the renewed Vito. Digital radio (DAB +) is available in all radio options, including the entry-level Audio 10. In this way, radio broadcasts can be listened clearly on the long road.

Along with the Audio 30 and Audio 40, there is a 7-inch touch screen and Apple CarPlay / Android Auto integration. These versions also work as the screen of the 180 angled rear view camera. In Audio 40, it is possible to manage integrated navigation via the screen.

Gearbox and suspansion 

All rear-wheel drive Vito versions have a 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission. Also the AIRMATIC air suspension, which will be offered for the first time in the Vito model, adapts itself to road and driving conditions.

Along with the increased ground clearance, ride comfort is also maintained on difficult road surfaces. The air suspension system adjusts itself independently on each wheel depending on driving and road conditions.

Safety Features

Features like Active Brake Assist, DISTRONIC and digital interior rearview mirror have been added to the new Vito. The number of safety and driving assistance systems has reached 13 from the 10. 

The new Active Brake Assist detects a possible collision risk with the vehicle in front. The DISTRONIC system follows the vehicle ahead, maintaining the distance set by the driver. It significantly relieves the driver in highway or stop-and-go traffic.

With the digital mirror feature, the image captured by the HDR camera on the rear window is transferred to the interior rearview mirror.

So that, the driver can see the rear through the rearview mirror even if the back of the Vito is installed up to the ceiling.
