Luggage space in the VLE varies depending on the seating configuration, but when equipped with three rows of seats, it can carry 795 litres, and as much as 4,078 litres when the chairs are removed.
For those seeking luxury, the aptly named Grand Comfort Seat looks like something lifted straight from a private jet, complete with high side bolsters to hold its occupant comfortably in place. A seemingly endless level of adjustment can be done via a panel on the door or by the smartphone-like controller that can be released from the back of the front seats, which also include built-in ambient lighting.
A full recline mode lifts the ottoman as the seat slides back to create more space, and the headrest, complete with what feels like an impossibly soft pillow, can be angled up to provide just the right amount of support. Once comfortable, the passenger can choose to activate the cinema mode, which closes the sunblind and covers the large glass roof, raises the privacy curtains on the side windows and quickly deploys a 31.3-inch widescreen display. This can stream movies in 8K or be connected to a games console.
It’s not only about those sitting in the rear of the VLE, though, as up front, there is the MBUX Superscreen – a digital dashboard that spans the full width of the cabin, containing a 10.25-inch instrument display and a 14-inch touchscreen, with the option of an additional 14-inch screen for the front-seat passenger.
