"Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen have produced some of the best camper vans on the market, and they've long shared a common collaborator. Now, with Mercedes-Benz taking the complete production of its Marco Polo under its wings, Volkswagen and other competitors can expect some serious competition. The newly updated 2026 Marco Polo is the first new addition to Mercedes in-house van life portfolio and flaunts an interesting pop-up roof, which is its main talking point."
"According to Mercedes-Benz press information, the body of the V-Class Marco Polo is built at the company's Vans plant in Vitoria, Spain. The vehicle is then converted into a pop-up camper van at the Ludwigsfelde plant in Germany. The overall in-house production of the Marco Polo means it's of the "highest quality standard" and that the company has complete control over every detail and pace at which it is produced."
"To that accord, the Mercedes-Benz 2026 Marco Polo is a compact, luxury camper van featuring a pop-up roof, convertible downstairs seating, kitchen, and ambient lighting to uplift the mood when you're inside the van. The major update from the 2024 model of the van is focused around the improvement to the lifting roof space. The double-skinned aluminum pop-top makes for an additional 4 inches of headroom and is provided with an ambient LED system that allows the space to feel lively and inviting."
Mercedes-Benz has taken complete production of the Marco Polo, with the V-Class body built at the Vans plant in Vitoria, Spain and the camper conversion performed at the Ludwigsfelde plant in Germany. In-house production gives Mercedes-Benz full control over details and production pace and ensures the "highest quality standard." The 2026 Marco Polo is a compact luxury camper van featuring a redesigned pop-up roof, convertible downstairs seating, a kitchen with double-burner stove, sink and mini fridge, and ambient lighting. The updated double-skinned aluminum pop-top adds approximately four inches of headroom and includes an ambient LED system that makes the sleeping area more inviting. Downstairs layout remains familiar with a swiveling bench for dining and sleeping and only minor changes from the 2024 model.
