I've been driving the Mercedes-Benz V260 for several years and have also helped friends adjust the Vito. The difference in experience is quite significant. The V260 is noticeably more upscale, with leather and wood interiors, heated and ventilated seats, making long trips comfortable; the Vito feels plasticky, with hard seating, more suitable for cargo use. Driving-wise, the V260 has ample power, smooth transmission, and light steering, making city traffic less frustrating; the Vito is slower to start, with loud engine noise, especially noticeable at high speeds with a constant hum. The V260 costs over 100,000 RMB more than the Vito, but I recommend the V260 for family use or business transportation—it's dignified and safe; for cargo hauling on a budget, the Vito is the choice. Maintenance-wise, the V260 consumes more fuel but has a longer warranty; the Vito is cheaper to repair but prone to minor issues.
