Try a Mercedes in your living room

In France, Mercedes has just launched an online consultation device to showcase its latest leisure vehicle, the T-Class.

After Dacia for the Duster, Mercedes is also taking the plunge into virtual visits. With VisioShowroom, you can now explore the T-Class from home while interacting with a remote advisor who presents the vehicle via video call. Online appointment scheduling has indeed become widespread in recent years, particularly in the medical field. It was only natural for it to extend to the automotive sector.

The concept is simple: just visit the website https://mb-visioshowroom.fr/ (accessible from the dedicated pages for the T-Class) and book a 30-minute slot. Trained by the Mercedes-Benz product team and filmed in a studio in the suburbs of Paris, the advisor presents the vehicle live. They can answer all specific questions. Each video call is recorded and broadcast live. The camera operator can, at the prospect’s request, zoom in on specific areas. They can also show videos detailing certain features (e.g., loading bikes in the trunk, manipulating roof bars, etc.) in a picture in picture mode. At the end of the session, the prospect can receive a configuration of a specific version. With their consent, their request will be forwarded to the distributor of their choice where they can, if necessary, test drive a T-Class. The negotiation and final transaction will also take place with a Mercedes-Benz salesperson.
