Used, Modern Genreation Mercedes Atego Box Van

The majority of the rigid Atego box vans also come with tail lifts, well-laid-out cabs and drivelines that are as powerful as they are reliable, even if you are buying a second-hand unit. With recent Atego box vans on sale second-hand, as well as more affordable models from earlier iterations of the range, you are sure to find one that will make a good purchase.

Choice of Cabs

Although an Atego box van may not necessarily be required for long-haul trips every day of the week, Mercedes-Benz does give the range plenty of cab variety, from the ClassicSpace cab to the BigSpace cab. Interior height ranges from 1.5 metres to 1.9 metres for the latest models, with both day and sleeper cabs available depending on buyer requirements. Crew cabs are not common on the box vans in the Atego range, but this is something that Mercedes-Benz offers, so you may find a used example on occasion.

Technology

Atego box vans have plenty of technology under the skin, both to keep the driver safe and comfortable as well as to make driving the truck a more streamlined process. Large, clear and cleverly laid-out instruments, with the option to add reversing cameras and more to the interior, make the daily use of this truck range a pleasure. Mercedes-Benz has even thought to add lights that can illuminate the way for making tight turns in dark environments more convenient, although as with many of the modern systems offered with Atego box vans, such functionality is optional from new and not guaranteed to make an appearance on used units.
