Lovely car — one thing they forgot: the 600 has a heat pump and, as far as I know, the 500 doesn’t, which is quite an important detail.

Mercedes Vito Bus

The Mercedes Vito is a sturdy, no-nonsense people carrier that blends commercial practicality with a surprisingly civilised cabin, making long shuttles feel less like a chore. If you need a dependable transporter that swallows luggage, forgives hard use and still looks a touch more premium than a plain van, the Vito is an easy, sensible pick.
