Force Motors are on a very aggressive form now. The company recently launched the Force One SUV and now they are gearing up to launch the Viano Van soon. It is very clear now that Force Motors has developed close tie-ups with the Daimler group, using engines and gearboxes for their products like the Force One. The Viano is also based on the Mercedes Viano that sells in the international markets. The Indian version is going to be very similar to the internationally sold model thus making it a really sought after product. The Viano is already a huge hit in the international markets.
Force Motors will definitely be taking good care of the overall build quality and fit and finish of the vehicle. The Viano looks pretty decent for a van and offers loads and loads of space inside to make the owners feel at home. India will be getting the 8-seater version with ample store house for luggage making it a very favourite among family owners. It will be powered by the same 2.2L engine sourced from Mercedes that currently powers the Force One. However, the power output and torque figures might be tuned for extra load carrying capacity. It is expected to be launched at the Auto Expo 2012 in a price bracket of Rs. 12 to 15 lakhs.

Now, that’s awesome. I am just waiting to see what logo it would sport. Will it sport the tristar (which might bring down the aspirational value of that brand, if Viano is indeed priced at 12 to 15 L), or will it have the F logo?
Rohan, it will have the F logo.
Why Viano being launched through Force Motors and why not by Mercedes Benz India itself?
Makrand, because Mercedes has a collaboration with Force Motors.
