MERCEDES VANEO (2002-TO DATE)奔驰vaneo(2002年至今)
Faced with the problem of how to convert all of the buyers of small estates and mini-MPVs to the three-pointed star, Mercedes designers came up with the Vaneo.面对如何把所有的遗产和小买家小mpvs的三个中指明星梅赛德斯设计师推出的vaneo. It?s by no means the most elegant looking vehicle on the block, but it gets the job done in a solid no-nonsense manner.?收盘绝非最优雅的车找座但取胜做扎实平实的态度. In many respects, it?s the very antithesis of Mercedes?在许多方面,它?收盘非常对立面宾士? extreme power and premium pricing philosophy, offering an affordable and modest vehicle to those who still harbour some residual badge snobbery.权力和极端保费定价哲学开办得起汽车和那些仍然存有少量残余部分徽章势利天性. Loosely based on the long wheelbase chassis of the A-class supermini, the Vaneo makes an interesting used buy.基于松散的长轴距底盘,A级超小型,用于购买vaneo使得一个有趣. Although it never really caught the British public?s imagination, the Vaneo is surprisingly rugged and soaks up miles very well.虽然从未真正陷入英国公众?收盘想象力,vaneo出人意外英里崎岖不平,吸收很好.
HISTORY历史
A combination of the A-class?结合了A级? poor start to life and the British resistance to buying a passenger car with the letters V-A-N in the title probably did as much as anything to scupper the Vaneo?s chances of making big sales figures.穷人的生活和英国开始抵制购买小汽车字母V型的氮的称号,大概也高达有所破坏该vaneo?收盘销量大的机会. On the continent, buyers adopt a far more pragmatic approach to van-based passenger vehicles and although the budget end of the market is receptive to cars like the Fiat Doblo, the Citroen Berlingo Multispace and the Renault Kangoo, the thought of paying all that money for something with a Mercedes badge on the bonnet had most prospective customers looking instead at a Renault Scenic, a Citroen Picasso or a Vauxhall Zafira.关于大陆买家采取更为务实的态度来车型客车和预算虽然年底市场容易接受像菲亚特doblo车、berlingo的雪铁龙和雷诺kangoo多尺度、想到这一切付出一点金钱与奔驰徽章的头盖最准顾客已经不是在看风景雷诺、毕加索是雪铁龙还是狂暴zafira. Launched in May 2002 with a range of four engines and three trim levels, the Vaneo got off to a low-key start and hasn?t really picked up.2002年5月发射了射程为四引擎和三个层次修剪,vaneo的开局低调启动和耕地?真正拿起笔.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The 4,192 mm long Vaneo sits on a very long wheelbase of 2.9 metres and on rather wide tracks (1,524 mm front and 1,477 mm rear) making for a different ?footprint?4192毫米长的vaneo坐在很长轴距2.9米、宽轨就相当(1524毫米和1477毫米战线后方)作出了不同?足迹? to the A-Class.到A级. All this is just as well, for to stand any chance of competing with Scenics and Zafiras, this car needs to be a lot larger than Mercedes?这一切也只是为能成事,zafirasscenics竞争,这需要有大量的汽车比宾士? entry-level model.入门级模型. True enough, a highish roofline of 1830 mm is coupled to an interior height of 1240 mm to give an agreeably airy feel to the cabin.惊觉roofline830毫米,是一个较高的耦合内政部给予高度240毫米通风欣然地感受到机舱. Remove the rear seats and you?ve got 1810mm of length in the rear cargo bay.拆除后座,你呢?虚拟的长度有1810mm后货舱. You won?t want to repeat this procedure too often, however as they are rather heavy.你赢了?笔想重复这一程序往往不过因为他们相当重. Remove the front passenger seat and you can get items up to 3000mm long inside.清除前座乘客座位,就可以达到3000项长期内. Socially inept windsurfers may well have found their nirvana.社会可能发现自己无能风帆涅槃.
Load the Vaneo up with people and paraphernalia and it rides very well, but such is the firmness of the springing that when it?s empty, the ride quality deteriorates somewhat and feels slightly commercial.装入vaneo及工具,它与人们乘车非常好,但就是这样的坚定性,当壶?收盘空打起精神,觉得稍微有点商业品质恶化. A seven seat option is available for those who run six a side football teams and/or are gifted procreators, but most will be content with the five seat version which is one of the rare offerings in the mini-MPV class that can not only seat five but can also transport the accompanying luggage.7座可供选择那些开办了六个方面足球队和/或procreators都是天才,但大多数内容将与五座版本是一个难得的冥迷你级巡逻艇五个席位,不仅可以同时还可伴随行李运输. Full marks to Mercedes there.满分为宾士.
The modular seat layout, two wide opening sliding doors and tailgate give easy access to the large interior and an optional pull-out compartment floor makes loading simplicity itself.积木座位布置、广开大门、两个滑动栏板给予方便和大型室内择拔出地板使得车厢装载简洁本身. The Vaneo is reasonably well equipped, with standard features such as ESP electronic stability control, Brake Assist, twin front and side airbags and the proven sandwich-body construction pioneered by the A-class.vaneo的合理精良,有标准的电子稳定控制除尘器等特点,刹车协助双气袋及侧面证明威奇体开创的建设有一流.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Prices for the 82bhp Vaneo Family kick off at just under £9,000 for a 52-plated example with the 1.7-litre CDi diesel and the 102bhp 1.6-litre petrol equivalent costing around £300 extra.价格为82bhpvaneo家族在刚刚揭幕的9000英镑下一个52-镀例子1.7公升柴油课程和102bhp1.6公升汽油的价格相当于300英镑的额外左右. You?ll need around £9,500 to land a 1.9-litre petrol model in Trend trim with Ambiente and Family variants fetching another £300 again.你?当地需要9500英镑左右降落了1.9公升的汽油修剪模式与趋势、家庭与环境变异取另一次300英镑. Insurance for all Vaneo models is inexpensive, opening at Group 7A and topping out at a hardly intimidating 8A.保险vaneo所有型号便宜,开在一组7A及平顶难以恐吓>.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
A full Mercedes dealer service history is absolutely essential, especially for the most recent models whose lengthy warranty ?奔驰经销商全部历史是绝对必要的服务,尤其是对那些冗长最新型号保修? effectively for the life of the car ?为有效寿命轿车? is dependent on proper servicing by an authorised agent.依靠正确的授权代理人服务.
Check that all the accessories work and watch out for cosmetic damage which can be expensive to correct.所有配件检查工作和提防美容纠正损害可昂贵. These are popular family cars, so check for wear and tear in the rear.这些都是热门的家庭轿车,以供查核损耗的后方. Also look for the usual signs of wheel kerbing and poorly repaired accident damage.通常的迹象,还找车轮镶边,低修理事故损坏. Unlike many manufacturers who concentrate on a plush cabin and skimp on the out-of-the-way bits in order to create a good first impression, Mercedes have bizarrely adopted the alternate approach with the Vaneo.不像许多厂家集中在一间豪华舱和敷衍了事的出版--程比特为了创造良好的第一印象是,宾士已通过离奇的方式与候补vaneo. Despite the lacklustre plastics quality of the cabin, the mechanicals are very tough indeed.尽管质量起色塑料座舱,机电的确很强硬. Don?t judge this book by its flimsy cover.鲍思?这本书由法官笔站不住脚封面.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx. Based on a Vaneo 1.6 Trend) Allow around £40 for a set of front brake pads and £25 for the rear and about £175 (excluding catalyst) for a factory exhaust system.(约1月6日走势基于vaneo)允许大约40英镑一套刹车皮、战线后方大约25英镑175英镑(不含催化剂)工厂排气系统. A full clutch replacement would cost around £175, a radiator is about £135 whilst a starter motor can be up to £250.离合器全部更换,费用大约175英镑,散热器虽然是一个约135英镑的起动马达可达250英镑. A new alternator would be in the region of £445 and a front headlamp would cost about £95.新发电机将在该地区的阵地,并前照灯英镑445英镑的费用约为95.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Four engines feature in the Vaneo line-up, but most will opt for one of the two 1.6-litre petrol units on offer, respectively developing 82 and 102bhp.四引擎的特点vaneo列队,但大多数人会选择其中的两个1.6公升汽油的单位投标,分别为82和102bhp发展. There?s also a range-topping 125bhp 1.9-litre petrol powerplant.?收盘也有距离超过125bhp1.9公升汽油动力. As in the A-class, these units are eight, rather than fashionable 16-valve in configuration.在A级,这八个单位,而不是时髦的16阀配置. The engineers apparently rejected the multivalve approach on the grounds of size and weight and, sure enough, both powerplants are about 25% lighter than equivalent engines, a difference that makes the car feel livelier than their respective power outputs would suggest.工程师multivalve做法显然拒绝的理由尺寸和重量,果然,无论发电厂约有25%或轻于等效引擎轿车感觉不同,使得各自热闹电力产出建议. The more powerful 102bhp 1.6, for example, makes sixty in 11.1s on the way to 111mph.更强大的102bhp1.6,例如,使得60月在11.1s途中111mph. As well as the standard manual gearbox, there?s also an auto box and something between the two ?变速箱标准手册以及有?收盘也有一些汽车和两箱? a manual without a clutch.无离合器手册.
There's no doubting, however, the hi-tech credentials of the 1.7-litre direct injection turbo diesel.没有任何怀疑,但是,高科技全权1.7公升柴油涡轮直喷. This 91bhp engine uses 'common rail' diesel technology to produce an impressive balance between power and economy, averaging nearly 50mpg.这91bhp引擎利用'共轨的柴油生产技术力量和可观的经济平衡,平均将近50mpg. Whichever option you choose, in true Mercedes fashion, you can select it in one of three trim packages - Trend, Family and Ambiente.你选择哪一个方案,真正宾士时装你可以在其中挑选三名浪包趋势,家庭和与环境. Various lifestyle packages are also available, with names like Carry, Dog, Cycle, Surf and Winter that obviously sounded good after a long marketing lunch.各种生活方式套票,名字一样地,狗,周期冲浪和冬季明显好听经过长期行销午餐. Still, it seems Mercedes are playing the lifestyle card with major conviction.还有,似乎是宾士牌大玩生活信念.
OVERALL 总体
Don?t let the uninspiring looks and twee name put you off.鲍思?看似平淡的笔让你把名字和滕出境. The Vaneo is well built and offers a surprising amount of space in its compact footprint.建成并提供良好的vaneo了惊人的篇幅紧凑足迹. It won?t win any beauty contests and inviting people for ?a spin in the Merc?赢?笔赢得任何选美徒增人民?自旋在流动? might be a recipe for disappointment, but to know a Vaneo is to love one.可能导致失望,但知道vaneo是爱情.
