We arrived at the location that Paul had in mind : a farm on a hillside with a beautiful view of the range . I was then allowed to jump in the driver ’ s seat and take the van for a spin up a steep , slippery slope .
Straight away , it was reconfirmed to me that this vehicle did not drive the way you might expect it to . It was nimble and felt light . The suspension and steering felt great . The steering had a nice , direct feel to it . the vehicle also had a comfortable and natural driving position . Not only this but the large amounts of ground clearance and wheel travel were allowing me to navigate this undulating hillside with ease .
Being based on a Sprinter , the Wattle has the Mercedes-Benz MBUX ( Mercedes-Benz User Experience ) system , an intuitive and rather clever infotainment / navigation system . Naturally , you get the full suite of Mercedes features found in the driver ’ s cab of the Sprinter , such as six airbags . Other features include traction control , blind spot assist , active brake assist , lane-keep assist , a reversing camera and more .
THOUGHTFUL LAYOUT
This model maintains the original shape of the Mercedes Sprinter , with everything built into it . On the nearside there is a large awning with gas and power outlets underneath . There is plenty of outdoor living space for those sunny days .
