SPY PICS: Mercedes-Benz Viano

Spy photographers capture a bonneted, pedestrian-friendly Viano van on test

Mercedes-Benz has a new Viano van in the wings and these Carparazzi spy pics show clearly what will make it different to current and past Vianos – it has grown a nose.

Fashioned to better address the issue of pedestrian protection, the extended front end of the next Viano gives the van a genuine bonnet that may well give it a more car-like feel.

The photo car is apparently a mix of the current van from the A-pillar rearwards and an all-new front end.

Other information on the next generation Viano is sketchy, but word is that it will go on sale in 2013 and is very likely to adopt Benz BlueEfficiency turbodiesel engines.
