Mercedes-Benz is known worldwide for producing luxury sedans, wagons, coupes, cabriolets and SUVs, but now the automaker is making a foray into the luxury van segment with the introduction of the Sprinter-based Brilliant Vans and Mini Buses.
The modified Sprinter vans are produced by Brilliant Transportation, and are intended to deliver a Maybach-like experience for passengers with the added benefit of nearly endless headroom (Most NBA basketball players can stand up inside with room to spare) made possible by the Sprinter’s unique design.
A Brilliant van boasts four luxurious captain’s chairs positioned in a way that would allow its occupants to hold conversation while traveling, which the maker says appeals to businesses looking to make efficient use of their time when traveling to and from work sites or meetings. In fact, the vans also feature two 32-inch flat screen TVs, eight speakers, color printers and 3G WiFi, making it possible to hold a meeting in the van itself, complete with Powerpoint or other presentation tools on the multimedia system.
Of course, if passengers just want to relax they can also enjoy DirecTV signal in the van as well, moving or stationary.
Richard Fertig, founder of Brilliant Transportation, says that the vans were intended to appeal to “corporate management, entertainers and well-to-do families who want to reclaim that dead in-transit time and who appreciate the size, height and overall comfort of a large van.” Currently, Brilliant is operating chauffeur-driven Sprinter-based Brilliant Vans and Mini Buses up and down the East Coast as well as in the Los Angeles area.
Should you sign up for the service, you will enjoy up to a 400 mile range between fill-ups thanks to the 20 mile per gallon diesel powerplant under the hood.
