The W447 Vito/V-Class (2014–present) is the direct successor to the W639 platform and shares all its spine engines with generations already in the graph: the M274 2.0-litre petrol turbo I4 (V 250, modelled in X204/wave 7b), the OM651 2.1-litre diesel I4 (Vito 114/116 CDI and V 220d pre-facelift, highest-fanout diesel across the MB graph), and the OM654 2.0-litre diesel I4 (facelift trims from ~2019 onwards, modelled in W177/W205/wave 7a). W447 therefore adds no occurrence patterns of its own; those patterns resolve onto this generation's configurations at the engine level. Uniquely within the van segment, W447 offers all three drive-layout options: FWD (Vito commercial), RWD (V-Class executive), and 4MATIC (V-Class top trims). See the per-configuration breakdown for which patterns apply to which build window.
