Production Span and Generational Shift
The W639 entered production in 2003, succeeding the first‑generation Vito that was built between 1996 and 2003. This second‑generation model continued to be built until 2014, covering an 11‑year production run.
Dual‑Brand Identity – Vito and Viano
While the vehicle is known as the Mercedes‑Benz Vito, it was also sold as the Mercedes‑Benz Viano, with the 2004 Viano (W639) highlighted as part of this lineup. The Viano badge helped position the model in the multi‑purpose vehicle segment across different markets.
Design Refresh and Market Positioning
In June 2003 Mercedes‑Benz unveiled the 639 series MPVs, marking a clear redesign that moved the model away from the earlier V‑Class branding. This new design emphasized a modern multi‑purpose vehicle approach and, in August 2008, a variant of the W639 received approval for licensed use, underscoring its versatility.
