Verdict
The RM15,350 dearer EQV is the better-equipped people mover, pairing a 90 kWh battery, 374 km range and 110 kW DC charging with seven seats, a 610-litre boot, power sliding doors and a 360-degree camera. Its RM160 annual road tax also undercuts the Vito Tourer’s RM436. But the Vito Tourer is the more practical shuttle: its 3,430 mm wheelbase accommodates 10 seats, against seven in the EQV. Choose based on passenger count and charging access, not just the modest price gap.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQV if seven seats are sufficient and you want 374 km electric range, lower RM160 road tax and richer cabin equipment.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz Vito Tourer if your work requires 10 seats and the longer 3,430 mm wheelbase.
