The Valente.The family mover that’s big on comfort and style.

When it comes to moving the family and all that goes with it, the Mercedes-Benz Valente is built for just that. With dual sliding doors, eight full-sized seats, space for all the essentials and packed with safety features, the Valente is just what the growing family needs. Add to that a powerful state-of-the-art engine and unique BlueEFFICIENCY technology, Mercedes-Benz has raised the benchmark for large-capacity vehicles to a whole new level.

The sleek Valente has stepped up in the style stakes and strikes quite the pose with 17” alloy wheels, rear tinted windows and day-time running lights all featured as standard. This people mover is perfectly practical, but its dynamic design is leading the way.

Room to move. The flexible seating advantage.

There’s plenty of room to move in the Mercedes-Benz Valente. With more than ample space to seat eight people in comfort, the fully flexible seating options can be configured to fit your needs whenever you wish. Seats can be safely rotated to face in almost any direction, opening up the possibility of a cosy face-to-face seating position. You can also adjust the backrest angle of the seats, so passengers can really relax and there’s even a space between the two front seats giving you unrivalled access from front to back.

With so much room you’ll be pleasantly surprised to know that there is also plenty of room for luggage. The 730 litre luggage space means there will be no need to pack lightly anymore for those family holidays. With its rare combination of spacious seating and generous luggage capacity, the Valente offers unparalleled practicality.

Both rear rows of seats can be removed creating even greater luggage space.

The back row of seats can be removed to create more luggage space.

Eight adults can be transported in comfort.

The perfect combination. Safety and comfort that puts you in the right space.

The Valente has all the ingredients for the perfect family car. Combine the meticulous Mercedes-Benz safety standards with innovative design, ride comfort and driving enjoyment and you get a car that firmly puts you in the right space. The Valente is packed with the safety features you’ve come to expect from a Mercedes-Benz, including ABS brakes, Electronic Stability Control, passenger airbags and adaptive brake lights, but they haven’t stopped there.

The unique Mercedes-Benz ADAPTIVE ESP® system has the ability to detect in an emergency the weight distribution of all passengers at any given time and compensate accordingly. The Valente is also packed with technology to make time spent in the car more enjoyable, including parking sensors, automatic rain/light sensors along with iPod® and Bluetooth® connectivity. There is also a family friendly space that features built in child restraints, dual sliding doors for easy access no matter where you’re parked and dual zone climate control.

Power to the people. The Valente engine goes from strength to strength.

When you have a people mover filled with a large family or even a sports team, you need power. The Valente has that and more. Powered by a 2.2L 4-cylinder CDI engine producing 120kW and 360Nm, and with the added benefit of twin turbo flexibility, the Valente delivers peak torque from as low as 1,600rpm through to 2,400rpm. This will ensure that the Valente will have no trouble with eight adults and luggage.

For Mercedes-Benz, responsibly shaping the long-term future of mobility is both an aspiration and a duty. The way forward is called BlueEFFICIENCY – a package of intelligently combined, innovative technologies that help to significantly cut fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. In the Valente 4-cylinder model you are now able to experience the benefits of this for yourself – without having to compromise on safety, comfort or driving pleasure.

The standard BlueEFFICIENCY package includes:

• 8.2L/100km and 216g of CO2 /km performance

• ECO power steering pump, internal engine measures, battery management, regulated fuel pump and lower rolling resistance tyres

Engineered for maximum passenger comfort 5 speed automatic transmission that provides seamless gear changes

ADAPTIVE ESP® Electronic Stability ProgramADAPTIVE ESP® is an innovative dynamic handling control system, which for the first time also takes the vehicle load into account. It actively intervenes in certain hazardous driving situations, e.g. if there is an imminent risk of skidding, by applying a braking force to one or more wheels and adjusting the engine output as required so as to help the driver deal with the hazardous situation. As well as aiding directional stability, ADAPTIVE ESP® combines the functions of the anti-lock braking system (ABS), acceleration skid control (ASR), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BAS) and the optional Start-off Assist system. The ESP® Trailer Stability Assist furthermore enhances driving safety when towing a trailer.

Note: ADAPTIVE ESP® can only act within the limits of the laws of physics. As a result, it cannot prevent skidding caused by aquaplaning, for example. If the driver exceeds these limits, even ADAPTIVE ESP® will not be able to prevent an accident.

Brake Assist (BAS)In tests carried out in the driving simulator, our research engineers established that drivers do not apply the brakes vigorously enough during emergency braking. This finding led them to develop the Brake Assist system. From the speed at which the brake pedal is depressed, Brake Assist is able to detect a situation, which calls for emergency braking. In such cases, the system automatically increases the brake pressure, aided by the anti-lock braking system (ABS), which prevents the wheels from locking.

Start-off AssistStart-off Assist, which is integrated into the ESP® system and comes as standard on automatic models, allows hill starts to be performed with ease. After the brake pedal is released, the brake pressure is maintained for approximately two seconds, allowing the driver to move their foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator without having to worry about the vehicle starting to roll. Start-off Assist is activated on uphill slopes of approx. 4% or steeper. It is not activated when starting off on the flat or on a downhill slope.

Acceleration skid control (ASR)At the first signs of wheel slip, that is to say if the rotational speed of one of the driven wheels suddenly increases, ASR reduces the engine power and also intervenes in the brake system to prevent prolonged wheel spin. ASR ensures smooth start-off and acceleration, without prolonged wheel spin or sideways drift. The result is improved traction and safety – particularly on split-friction or slippery surfaces.

ESP® Trailer Stability AssistThis system complements ADAPTIVE ESP® and improves driving safety when towing a trailer by strategically applying the wheel brakes on the towing vehicle and reducing the engine torque if the trailer starts to sway from side to side, thereby helping the driver to stabilise the vehicle/trailer combination. Where the system intervenes several times in succession, the braking force is increased each time, resulting in a noticeable drop in road speed.

Adaptive brake lightsThe adaptive brake lights enhance active safety as they give a clearer signal when the vehicle is braked in an emergency. This is achieved by all the brake lights starting to flash in the event of emergency braking at speeds above 50 km/h, thus warning following traffic and shortening the reaction times of the drivers behind. If the vehicle is braked to a standstill from a speed of over 70 km/h, the hazard warning lights are activated automatically.

PARKTRONIC PARkTRONIC is a parking aid which assists the driver when parking or manoeuvring in confined spaces. Working on the same principle as sonar, the system automatically warns the driver of obstacles just in front of or behind the vehicle. The warning is provided initially in the form of a visual display in the centre of the instrument panel. When the distance to an obstacle falls below 35 cm, the audible warning is also activated, first intermittently and then as a continuous tone at a distance of about 20 cm.

Diesel particulate filter Particulate emissions per diesel car have been drastically lowered in recent years. Nonetheless, the constantly increasing number of diesel vehicles means that total emissions are too high and need to be reduced further. The diesel particulate filter from Mercedes-Benz is a breath of fresh air in this respect. It removes more than 95% of the particulates from the exhaust gases. At the same time a continuous regeneration process prevents the filter from becoming clogged – which means that no fuel additives are needed.
