Mercedes Vito/V class with KW coilovers: More driving stability and control
We have the perfect upgrade waiting for your Mercedes Vito or V-Class (W447). Are you seeking pure performance? Our coilover suspensions (KW V3) will improve the performance and lower the ride height of your Vito. Or perhaps you prioritize daily comfort. We offer a solution for the Vito 447's suspension that makes it noticeably more stable and comfortable in everyday use while maintaining near-standard Mercedes V class ground clearance.
The factory suspension
The Mercedes-Benz Vito and V-Class (W447) impress with their spaciousness, practicality and high travel comfort standards in everyday life. The standard Mercedes Vito coilovers strike a balance between the various usage scenarios of a commercial vehicle and a passenger car. At high speeds, when changing lanes or when the load changes, body roll, an indirect driving feel and a lack of comfort can occur.
Our KW product
The KW V3 coilover suspension is ideal for drivers who want to exploit the full potential of their W447 while achieving a significant visual upgrade. The KW V3 offers stepless lowering and direct vehicle feedback through its consistently sporty setup, providing a superior driving experience with enhanced control at high speeds. The KW V3 damper setup is perfectly matched to your car. However, you can adjust the damping independently at any time.

Technology Highlights
Customized lowering
This coilover suspension offers maximum possible lowering, customized to your vehicle model. You can also change this at any time after installation.
Adjustable rebound (low speed)
You'll notice the difference with every click! Here, you can adjust the low-speed rebound with 16 clicks. This adjusts the ride characteristics, making them either harder or more comfortable.
Adjustable compression damping (low speed)
You can fine-tune the low-speed compression damping even after installation. The vehicle's handling and stability will benefit from 12 clicks.
Composite spring disc
The height-adjustable KW spring plate is made from a resistant and friction-optimised polyamide composite material with a stainless steel insert. In contrast to anodised aluminium adjustable spring plates, the polyamide composite material prevents possible oxidation.

What is the height of the Mercedes Vito?
The standard vehicle height of the Mercedes-Benz Vito (W447) and the V-Class can vary depending on the model. As a rule, it is between 1.88 and 1.92 meters. Ground clearance is also a decisive factor for everyday usability. The KW V3 enables stepless lowering, while the KW V3 Leveling ensures that the Vito's ground clearance is close to standard.
How low is possible with the KW V3 coilovers?
The KW V3 coilover suspension for the Mercedes-Benz Vito and V-Class (W447) enables stepless, TÜV-approved lowering. The exact lowering range depends on the model variant and can be found in the parts approval. It is between 20 and 65 millimetres at the front and between 15 and 50 millimetres at the rear. Lowering the vehicle in this way significantly improves its appearance and driving dynamics.
How much does it cost to lift the Mercedes Vito/V-Class?
A proper suspension lift for the Vito/V-Class is expensive; full kits often cost more than €3,000. The KW V3 Leveling is a premium alternative. Although it is not a suspension lift, it retains the standard ground clearance. It offers the high-quality, adjustable damping technology of the V3 for maximum driving stability, control and comfort, and at a lower price than expensive off-road conversions. It is ideal for premium performance and is fully suitable for everyday use.
Is the KW V3 Leveling suspension designed for off-roading?
No, it is a high-quality road suspension with adjustable rebound and compression damping. It is designed to significantly improve the Vito or V-Class's driving stability, control and comfort on paved roads. While it retains the standard ground clearance for everyday use, such as driving on ramps or in underground garages, it is not designed for extreme off-road use.
