Mercedes-Benz Sprinter MSE_1_1735 by KLASSEN: a VIP space with private jet comfort

When a vehicle becomes part of everyday business life or accompanies a family on long journeys, its interior has to meet particular requirements. Passengers need to settle in comfortably for several hours, have space to work, maintain their usual daily routine and feel at ease far from home. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Luxury VIP Jetvan by KLASSEN is designed around these needs. Its passenger compartment combines electrically adjustable luxury seats, individual tables, versatile multimedia and everyday amenities that include a refrigerator, a coffee machine and a separate washroom.

What makes this VIP Sprinter special is the way all its elements work together. A passenger can work at a table, then adjust the seat, use the footrest and settle down to relax. The driver's cab remains beyond the partition, electric blinds close over the side windows, and RGB lighting and a starry ceiling create the lighting atmosphere. Equipment for coffee and everyday needs is already available inside. In the KLASSEN catalogue, this vehicle carries the identifier MSE_1_1735.

Project concept: private jet comfort for road journeys

The idea behind the Luxury VIP Jetvan is to bring the approach to arranging a private jet cabin into a road journey. Passengers need a personal seat with adjustments, access to drinks, comfortable lighting and the freedom to choose how to spend their time on the road. In this Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a VIP interior, these needs are addressed through the layout itself: the front partition creates a separate passenger compartment, furniture units accommodate household and electronic equipment, and the washroom has its own enclosed space.

For business journeys, the interior offers tables, power for devices, control via iPad and communication with the driver from the passenger's seat. On a family trip, the focus shifts to comfortable seats, televisions, a PlayStation 5 and access to the washroom. A journey to a ski resort brings its own requirements, which is why the specification includes a ski box and an additional Webasto heater. The vehicle allows its use to change during a single journey while retaining the conveniences passengers are accustomed to.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as the foundation for a spacious VIP interior

For this type of conversion, body dimensions have practical significance. The interior must accommodate the seats, aisle, side furniture, front partition and washroom in a coordinated layout. The large Sprinter provides room for this arrangement. The passenger area gains its own architecture, with tables, connections, storage and everyday equipment positioned with the passenger seats in mind.

Electrically adjustable luxury seats: comfort begins with the seating position

The seat determines how a passenger feels throughout the journey. Electric adjustments allow the seating position to change according to the activity: working at a table calls for one position, while watching a film or relaxing calls for another. The ability to adjust the seat to personal preferences is particularly valuable on a long journey, when passengers want to change their posture from time to time and settle in more comfortably.

Heating and ventilation provide comfort directly where the body touches the seat. In cool weather, heating helps passengers warm up after boarding, while in warm weather ventilation makes spending a long time in the seat more pleasant. These functions complement the interior climate system: air temperature and the feel of the seat surface affect comfort in different ways. Massage adds another way to enjoy part of the journey in a relaxed state: passengers feel the action of the seat mechanism and can vary the sensations associated with prolonged sitting.

Seats 3 and 4 are equipped with KLASSEN footrests featuring individual electric adjustment. Passengers can choose the position of the leg support together with their seating position. The footrest supports the legs and helps passengers settle in comfortably during a relaxed journey. Headrest cushions complement this support system by supporting the head and softening contact with the upper part of the seat.

The luxury seats themselves and the armrests are upholstered in leather. The material brings them together as a coordinated ensemble and creates the surfaces passengers touch regularly. Installation includes manufacturing dedicated mountings for the electric seats. These connect the seats to the vehicle structure and form part of the engineering work during conversion. The seats have three-point seat belts that restrain passengers across the shoulder and pelvis; the specification states that the belts are tested in accordance with legal requirements and EU standards.

Electric drawers are located beneath seats 1 and 2. Using the space under the seats provides storage for small personal items passengers want to keep close at hand. These compartments help organise the interior on long journeys: items can be cleared from exposed surfaces and retrieved when needed, leaving the tables available for work or drinks. The electric opening mechanism complements the overall approach to operating the interior equipment.

Armrest with refrigerator and bar: conveniences close to the passenger

A central armrest is installed between seats 1 and 2, with a refrigerator, bar, wireless charging and clock integrated into its structure. Its position combines support for the arm with access to equipment. Drinks and the charger are located in the part of the interior passengers can use while remaining in their seats.

The refrigerator keeps water and other drinks chilled throughout the journey. The bar provides a separate area for storing and serving them, while the tableware provided in the interior completes this arrangement. This setup is useful on the way to a meeting, during a transfer after a flight or on a long journey, when passengers need access to a drink at a time that suits them.

Wireless charging helps keep a compatible smartphone charged by placing it on the designated surface. Alongside the tables and drinks, this reduces the need for an additional cable. The integrated clock remains a separate visual reference: passengers can check the time without opening their phone, which is convenient before a meeting or arrival at the airport.

Front partition: a distinct atmosphere in the passenger compartment

The TV partition separates the driver's cab from the VIP area. It defines the front boundary of the passenger space and makes the interior a separate room within the vehicle. This division allows passengers to concentrate on conversation, a film or their own activities while the road environment remains ahead, in the driver's working area.

The partition cladding matches the individual interior design. It is a large surface visible to passengers from their seats, so its finish influences the perception of the interior just as much as the seats or side panels. An armrest with umbrella storage is provided near the entrance. The umbrella has a designated place beside the exit, where it can easily be picked up before stepping out into the rain.

Communication with the driver is provided by an intercom with a hands-free function. It allows passengers to check the arrival time, request a stop or discuss a change of route while remaining in the passenger area. The partition and intercom therefore work together: the interior has its own space, and essential communication with the driver remains available.

Ceiling and starry sky: light as part of the interior

The ceiling is made as a separate structure with its own finish; the trim also covers the body pillars. The upper part of the interior forms a cohesive composition with the vertical surfaces. For passengers spending several hours in a seat, this area remains constantly in view and has a significant effect on the sense of space.

The KLASSEN starry ceiling creates a pattern of individual points of light overhead. The RGB function allows the colour to change, giving the upper part of the interior a different mood. On an evening journey, this lighting makes the ceiling a distinctive interior feature and, together with the side lighting, creates an atmosphere for conversation or relaxation. The lighting design becomes part of the passengers' personal space.

Floor and insulation: the foundation of comfort on the move

The conversion includes manufacturing a floor structure, which the specification states is tested in accordance with legal requirements and EU standards. The floor provides the foundation of the interior space: seat placement, the aisle and transitions between interior elements are organised at this level. It must match the layout of the completed VIP interior.

Sound insulation helps reduce noise entering the interior. Its value becomes apparent in everyday situations: during conversation, a film or rest, passengers want fewer distractions from outside noise. Thermal insulation reduces heat exchange with the outside environment and complements heating and air conditioning. Together, these concealed elements create the foundation for comfort that passengers enjoy throughout the journey.

The main floor covering is wood, with additional carpeting in the VIP area. The wooden surface continues the theme of the side panels and driver's cab, linking the lower part of the passenger compartment to the rest of the interior. The carpeting adds softness underfoot and enhances the feeling of a furnished living space.

Side panels and electric tables: space for work on the road

The side walls are made specifically for the VIP interior and feature individual finishes with fine woods. They define the appearance of the interior while accommodating its functional elements. Wood brings natural grain to the surfaces, while illuminated decorative pillars emphasise the vertical lines and rhythm of the passenger space.

Electric tables are provided for seats 3, 4, 5 and 6. A work surface beside each seat allows passengers to place a laptop, open documents or prepare for a meeting. Passengers gain a designated place for the items they use during the journey. The electric mechanism helps change the table position, adapting the space to the current activity.

The sliding door opening mechanism is integrated into the side wall. This incorporates the door function into the overall organisation of the panel and preserves the coherence of its design. Together with the tables, lighting and connections, the door mechanism becomes part of the considered arrangement of elements around the passenger seats.

Electric blinds and RGB lighting: controlling the atmosphere

Electric blinds on the side windows allow passengers to regulate daylight and block the view into the interior from outside. On a sunny day, this helps make screen viewing more comfortable; during rest, it dims the light; and when parked, it creates a more private setting. Electric operation makes it easier to change the blind position as passenger needs change during the journey.

RGB lighting on the side panels complements the ceiling lighting. Its colour influences the appearance of the wooden inserts, decorative pillars and overall interior geometry. Lighting accents make the interior look different by day and evening: once the blinds are closed, the internal lighting defines its atmosphere. This allows the space to be adapted for relaxation, conversation or watching a film.

Connections and power: technology remains part of the daily routine

The interior includes USB charging and separate USB connections for charging and data transfer. For passengers, this means being able to keep mobile devices charged and use the available interfaces. The 220 V socket allows compatible equipment to be connected within the capabilities of the vehicle's electrical system, including a suitable laptop charger.

HDMI provides an interface for transmitting video and audio from a compatible source. This connection is useful in an interior with televisions when passengers plan to use their own device to play content. The specification also includes a master switch for centrally switching the relevant equipment on and off. The 12 V to 220 V inverter converts vehicle power to the format required by the corresponding interior devices. This electrical foundation supports combining road travel with the use of familiar technology.

Two televisions and Apple TV: a dedicated multimedia area

The 43-inch LED television gives the interior a large screen for films, video and other content. Its size makes viewing a shared activity for passengers: attention centres on the screen, while the seats, blinds and audio system create the appropriate setting. A second, 22-inch LED television adds to the display options within the VIP space. Its more compact format allows an additional screen to be incorporated into the interior layout alongside other equipment.

Apple TV provides a dedicated interface for compatible services and media content. Passengers can use a familiar way of selecting and playing material when the necessary connections are available. A DVB-T2 antenna is installed for digital terrestrial television. KLASSEN notes that its operation must be checked in the country where the vehicle will be used, as reception availability depends on local television broadcasting.

The audio system consists of two-way speakers in the passenger compartment and a subwoofer. The two-way design divides frequency reproduction between the relevant drivers, while the subwoofer complements the lower end of the sound spectrum. For listeners, this matters both in music and films: voices, instruments and low-frequency effects together create a fuller impression of the content.

PlayStation 5: another way to spend time on a journey

This Luxury VIP Jetvan is equipped with a PlayStation 5. The console adds an interactive leisure option: passengers can choose a game and spend part of the journey on an activity usually associated with a home entertainment area. The screen and sound system complement the gaming experience inside the vehicle.

For family journeys or trips with friends, this broadens the choice of entertainment. Passengers can alternate between conversation, a film and games according to their mood and the length of the journey. This option is particularly useful over long distances, when passengers want to change activities during the day.

KRS and iPad Mini: controlling the interior from your seat

KRS — KLASSEN Remote System — brings together control of the interior equipment through an iPad. Rather than searching for individual controls, passengers can access the functions supported by the system from the tablet. This reflects the idea of a VIP interior: adjusting your personal space conveniently from your seat.

The specification includes an iPad Mini and its charging station. The compact tablet is comfortable to hold, and the station provides a designated charging location. When the device is needed, it can be picked up to operate the controls and then returned to its place. The control interface thus becomes an everyday tool for using the interior.

Front and rear cameras complement the vehicle's electronic equipment. They provide images from the corresponding directions, while Quattro Split Screen offers a divided screen display. The multi-window format allows images to be placed in separate areas and the available views to be seen together. This provides another way to receive visual information about the vehicle's surroundings.

Climate system and Webasto: comfort across the seasons

The climate system provides cooling and heating for the passenger space. Air distribution also matters in a large converted interior, so the specification includes specially manufactured climate ducts and air vents. The ducts deliver air to designated interior areas, while the vents form its delivery points. These elements are integrated into the interior alongside the finishes and furniture structures.

The control unit allows passengers to operate the climate system and choose settings for the journey. Warm weather calls for cooling, boarding after exposure to freezing conditions calls for heating, and a long journey requires a comfortable environment to be maintained. Body insulation and seat functions complement this work, influencing different aspects of perceived comfort.

The additional Webasto heater expands the heating options. Its role is especially noticeable in the cold season, when the large passenger space needs warmth. For a vehicle that may accompany its owners on winter journeys and trips to ski resorts, an additional heat source is a practical part of the equipment.

Driver's cab: a continuation of the individual interior

The conversion covers the driver's and front passenger's seats, their doors and the dashboard. The renewed front seat upholstery links the cab to the vehicle's overall styling. Headrest cushions add soft support, while carpeting finishes the footwell space at both front seats.

The door finishes are important to the cohesive appearance of the cab: these are large surfaces surrounding the driver and passenger. The leather steering wheel introduces a material the driver touches directly throughout the journey. The wooden dashboard finish continues the fine-wood theme of the VIP interior, while Soft-Touch changes the feel of the treated surfaces. As a result, the front part of the Sprinter gains its own individual design within the shared project.

Armrests, raised platform and finishes: details for everyday use

Additional armrests are installed for seats 3, 4, 5 and 6. Arm support matters during prolonged sitting, reading, watching a film or using a smartphone. Together with the seat adjustments, it helps passengers find a comfortable position. A raised platform is provided for seats 5 and 6, creating an elevated level in this part of the seating area and influencing the overall layout.

Wireless chargers for seats 3 and 4 extend charging access beyond the central armrest. Passengers in these seats can use the corresponding charging surfaces for compatible phones. A glass holder beside seat 1 provides a designated place for drinkware, helping organise the use of drinks close to the passenger's seat.

Soft-Touch in the VIP area gives treated surfaces a pleasant tactile quality. In a vehicle of this class, materials are experienced through contact with panels and armrests as well as through their appearance. The KLASSEN interior logo completes the design and identifies the origin of the bespoke interior. The basic work also includes the necessary consumables for assembly and finishing: these enable the conversion itself to be carried out.

Separate washroom: everyday comfort over long distances

The washroom occupies a separate space enclosed by a partition with a door. This solution provides privacy and allows a sanitary room to be incorporated into a passenger vehicle. On a long journey, its presence makes a significant difference to travel convenience, particularly when suitable stopping places are far apart.

The toilet and washbasin with a tap provide the essential amenities. Passengers can use the washroom and wash their hands while remaining within their own vehicle. A handheld shower head complements the sanitary equipment and allows water to be directed for the relevant hygiene needs. The mirror is convenient for freshening up before arriving at a meeting or after several hours on the road.

The base cabinet provides storage for necessary items, while the waste bin helps maintain tidiness. Lighting ensures visibility in the enclosed room, and ventilation provides air exchange. Each element has a practical role: together they create a washroom that is convenient to use as part of an everyday journey.

Nespresso and tableware: the familiar coffee ritual on the road

The Nespresso coffee machine is built into the side wall and equipped with a swivel mechanism. This arrangement incorporates coffee preparation into the interior architecture, while the mechanism allows the machine's position to be changed for use. The equipment has its own place beside the passenger area, making it convenient during an early morning transfer, a break between meetings or a long journey.

The layout takes account of the space occupied by the coffee machine: in this configuration, it replaces the table option for seat 1. Electric tables for seats 3, 4, 5 and 6 remain a separate part of the equipment. Functions are therefore distributed among different locations in the interior according to the selected specification.

The tableware set complements the coffee machine and bar, allowing them to be used as a coordinated drinks area. Coffee before a business meeting or during a relaxed journey becomes a familiar part of the day. For passengers, this continuity of everyday habits matters when a journey lasts several hours.

KLASSEN exterior: a distinctive presence for a large executive vehicle

The lower front body kit element and AMG-style radiator grille change the appearance of the Sprinter's front end. They establish the vehicle's design before passengers even board and connect the large body with more dynamic styling. The lower rear body kit element continues this theme at the other end, creating a coordinated appearance from front to rear.

The side skirts define the lower body line visually and connect the front and rear body kit elements. Chrome wheel covers add metallic accents around the wheels. Together, these details create the recognisable exterior presence of a VIP minibus whose individual equipment continues inside.

The electric step provides an intermediate level between the ground and the interior floor. In a tall vehicle, it makes boarding and exiting easier, something passengers appreciate at every stop. The external ski box creates a dedicated place for long sports equipment. This helps organise a winter holiday journey and keep the passenger space available for people and their everyday belongings.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a luxury interior for your own pace of travel

This KLASSEN Sprinter allows a journey to be organised around passengers' familiar needs. During the working part of the trip, tables, connections and charging facilities are used. When it is time to relax, seat adjustments, footrests, multimedia and lighting come to the fore. The coffee machine, refrigerator and washroom maintain everyday comfort throughout the day.

For those choosing a VIP Sprinter for long journeys, an executive minibus or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Luxury VIP Jetvan with private jet comfort, this project demonstrates KLASSEN's comprehensive approach to conversion. Its value becomes apparent in use: comfortable seating, access to the equipment passengers need and the ability to work, talk and relax in their own space.
