Today's video brings us a rather intriguing creation from the folks at Design VIP, a Mercedes-Benz partner. They've taken the uninspiring Mercedes-Benz Metris van and transformed it into something truly extraordinary. Inspired by the Maybach brand, this van exudes luxury and opulence in every corner. It's like stepping into a private jet, but on wheels.

The exterior of the van features Maybach-inspired design elements, including a classy waterfall grille, a Maybach hood ornament, and subtle Maybach badges. It's a tasteful and understated approach that sets it apart from other over-the-top conversions. The attention to detail is evident, with genuine Mercedes-Benz parts used throughout the interior, from the seat controls to the climate vents. It's as if Mercedes-Benz themselves had decided to create a van, and boy, did they do a splendid job.

But it's the interior where this van truly shines. Open the power-operated sliding door, and you're greeted by an umbrella with a Mercedes three-pointed star at its base. Talk about making a statement. Inside, you'll find a world of luxury and convenience. The rear seats feature a fixed panel with an iPad loaded with a Design VIP app. This app controls a plethora of features, from revealing an espresso maker to opening a refrigerator. Yes, you heard that right, a refrigerator in a van. It's the perfect place to keep your sandwiches and drinks chilled while on the go.

But the luxuries don't stop there. There are champagne flutes, a PlayStation 5, a safe that opens with your fingerprint, power ports, curtains for privacy, and even a starry night headliner that can be adjusted to set the mood. The rear seats are power-operated and can be adjusted to your heart's content. They even come with hidden storage compartments and a television for your viewing pleasure. It's like having a first-class cabin on wheels.

While the front of the van may not be as luxurious as the back, with some plastic and average controls, it's a small price to pay for the sheer extravagance that awaits in the rear. Under the hood, the powertrain remains the same as the standard Metris, but let's be honest, when you're sitting in the back playing PlayStation and enjoying all the amenities, who really cares about what's under the hood?

Overall, this Maybach-inspired Mercedes-Benz Metris van is a true marvel. It's a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that Design VIP has put into creating a luxury van that rivals the best of the best. If you're in the market for a van that offers the utmost in comfort, convenience, and style, look no further. This van is the epitome of luxury on wheels.
