A journey by private jet begins long before takeoff and continues after landing. Between the airport and the yacht, a country residence, a mountain resort or an important meeting, there is still a road to travel that also deserves first-class comfort. The KLASSEN Sprinter LUXURY VIP JETVAN was created precisely for these routes — a luxurious vehicle based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, in which the principles of private aviation are reflected in the arrangement of the passenger space, the equipment and the attention paid to each guest’s personal needs. Project MSE_3_1724 continues the development of KLASSEN VIP vehicles, offering the owner a private cabin for work, conversation and relaxation.
This Mercedes-Benz Sprinter VIP is built around the concept of a private jet. The space surrounding each passenger, individual seats, the option to create a sleeping berth, carefully considered lighting and access to essential functions form a cohesive travel environment. What matters here is the feeling of uninterrupted comfort: after leaving the aircraft, passengers continue their route in a familiar atmosphere where they can concentrate on their own affairs, spend time with loved ones or relax before the next part of the day.
The particular purpose of the KLASSEN Sprinter LUXURY VIP JETVAN is ground travel, from short transfers to journeys of 300 kilometres. These are the distances over which the vehicle becomes a natural extension of private aviation: when there is no airport near the final destination, a flight requires a disproportionate amount of organisational time or the onward journey is only possible by road. From the business aviation terminal to the dock, from the hotel to a private estate, from the airport to a chalet in the mountains — the JETVAN helps complete the route without compromising comfort. These 300 kilometres describe a vehicle usage scenario, rather than a limitation on its range.
The passenger cabin features six individual VIP seats arranged consecutively in a row. This spatial layout supports the vehicle’s aviation concept: each seat becomes a personal area for its passenger. All six seats convert into sleeping berths, allowing the cabin to be prepared for rest during a stop or between stages of a busy journey. The ability to change the purpose of the space is particularly valuable after a long flight, before an evening event or during family trips.
The comfort of the KLASSEN seats is revealed in the details of their equipment. Heating helps quickly create pleasant conditions on a cool morning, ventilation maintains comfort in warm weather, and the massage function adds another option for relaxation. Footrests allow passengers to settle into a more comfortable position, while three-point seat belts are provided for every VIP seat. Leather upholstery on the seats and armrests is combined with MAYBACH-style footrests and carefully crafted Alcantara headrests. Different textures create the feeling of a cosy private cabin and emphasise the individual character of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter conversion.
A special KLASSEN armrest has been developed for the fifth and sixth seats, with a shape coordinated with the seat design. It brings together a compartment for personal belongings, an iPad holder and KRS controls. An integrated bar with crystal glasses complements the private jet atmosphere and makes this part of the cabin a comfortable setting for relaxed conversation. Functional elements are incorporated directly into the furniture arrangement, keeping essential small items close to the passengers.
The finish of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter VIP cabin extends throughout the interior. Custom-made side panels, fine wood trim elements and Soft-Touch surfaces form a coordinated composition. A bespoke ceiling structure and pillar trim continue this design, while carpeting in the passenger area adds a sense of warmth. The floor features a special construction for which the equipment specification states testing in accordance with the relevant European requirements. Additional sound and thermal insulation helps reduce the influence of the external environment on the atmosphere inside.
Lighting plays an important role in the perception of the interior. The signature KLASSEN starry sky with RGB lighting creates a striking accent above the passenger seats. It is complemented by RGB ambient lighting and illuminated pillars, which give the cabin a particular sense of depth in the evening. The ability to change the colour allows the atmosphere to be adjusted to suit the mood of the journey. Manual blinds on the side and rear windows provide control over natural light and privacy.
The technical equipment supports the everyday needs of the passengers. The cabin includes 220 V power sockets, USB charging ports, a main switch and a specially designed shelf with controls. A 12-to-220 V power inverter supplies the corresponding onboard electrical infrastructure. The equipment includes an iPad mini and an iPad-based control system, which complement the cabin’s integrated controls. This allows the personal space to be organised so that the necessary devices and functions remain accessible during the journey.
The audio system consists of four two-way speakers in the passenger area and a subwoofer. This equipment allows music to accompany the journey, creating the desired mood in the cabin. Acoustics, lighting, soft materials and insulation contribute to a shared overall impression: the VIP transfer becomes an integral part of the journey, offering a space in which spending time is a pleasure.
The climate control equipment is adapted to the design of the VIP space. The air ducts are coordinated with the converted cabin, and the system provides cooling and heating with its own control panel. An additional Eberspächer heater expands the options for maintaining a comfortable temperature during the colder months. Decorative air vents are incorporated into the overall interior design. For a vehicle that can be used both on the French Riviera and on winter trips to mountain resorts, this attention to climate control has practical importance.
The front of the vehicle has also received KLASSEN finishing. The driver’s and front passenger’s seats have been redesigned and upholstered in keeping with the project’s concept. The steering wheel combines leather with fine wood trim elements, while the dashboard is enhanced with wood trim and Soft-Touch surfaces. Separate carpets complete the design of this area. A refrigerated box is installed between the front seats, offering a temperature range from −18 to +10 °C, two glass holders and space for small belongings.
The vehicle’s practicality is particularly evident in the way luggage is organised. Additional storage compartments are provided in the luggage area, while the Ski Box is a distinctive feature of the project. The ski box has a fully trimmed interior, lighting and an exterior painted to match the body colour. For the owner, this means being able to include skiing holidays in the vehicle’s regular use while keeping the passenger cabin tidy. The KLASSEN Sprinter with Ski Box combines the comfort of a luxurious VIP van with the practicality required for travelling with sports equipment.
The exterior of the KLASSEN Sprinter LUXURY VIP JETVAN continues the character of the interior through expressive proportions and carefully selected details. The black bodywork emphasises the vehicle’s prestigious appearance, while the AMG-style front bumper and radiator grille give the front a more dynamic look. The side skirts visually unify the body design, while the rear bumper and AMG-style decorative exhaust trims complete it at the back. Painting the exterior components that remain unpainted in the standard version helps achieve a cohesive exterior finish.
An electric step makes it easier to enter and exit the Sprinter’s elevated cabin. This detail is particularly noticeable in everyday use: at a private aviation terminal, at the entrance to a hotel or when welcoming guests at a yacht marina. The project is based on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a 1,950 cm³ diesel engine producing 190 hp, paired with an automatic transmission. The vehicle measures 6,967 mm in length and has a wheelbase of 4,325 mm, providing the spatial foundation for creating a VIP cabin of this kind.
The new KLASSEN Sprinter LUXURY VIP JETVAN will be presented at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026. The exhibition will take place from 23 to 26 September 2026 at Port Hercule in Monaco. This is precisely where the concept of a private jet on the road finds a particularly relevant audience: yacht owners, entrepreneurs and travellers for whom sea passages, flights and ground transfers are parts of a single route. The presentation will offer an opportunity to discover a vehicle that brings the principles of a private aircraft cabin to travel on the road.
The history of KLASSEN is connected with the development of an individual approach to the automobile. Founded by Paul Klassen, the company has evolved over more than 25 years from an automotive business into an international manufacturer of luxurious VIP vehicles. Its production facilities and showroom are located in Minden, Germany. At the heart of this work is the creation of vehicles tailored to a specific lifestyle: with the required spatial arrangement, materials, equipment and character. The Sprinter LUXURY VIP JETVAN embodies the brand’s accumulated experience in a project focused on private travel and the comfort of every passenger.
For KLASSEN, participation in the Monaco Yacht Show has become a longstanding tradition. In 2026, the brand will take part in the exhibition for the eighth time, continuing to introduce its vision of luxury mobility to an international audience. The world of superyachts is particularly close to the KLASSEN philosophy: in both cases, individual planning, the quality of finishes, privacy and the ability to adapt the space to the owner’s habits are essential. According to the company’s announcement, the KLASSEN display in 2026 will be located between the BRABUS and MANSORY stands, presenting its own approach to automotive luxury — spacious VIP cabins for travel and relaxation.
The presentation of the KLASSEN Sprinter LUXURY VIP JETVAN in Monaco is dedicated to the idea of a seamless first-class journey. Six VIP seats that convert into sleeping berths, an interior shaped by the philosophy of a private jet, thoughtfully selected equipment and a Ski Box make this project a companion for different seasons and routes. From the aircraft steps to the yacht, from the city to a mountain residence — KLASSEN creates a personal space in which the road becomes time for oneself.
