The W447 Vito Tourer Long 119 CDI specifically denotes a long-wheelbase passenger variant equipped with a 2.1-liter turbocharged diesel engine producing 190 horsepower. This configuration was designed to cater to families, shuttle services, and businesses requiring substantial passenger and cargo capacity.

This broad torque band provides strong acceleration and effortless cruising, even when fully loaded. The engine features a turbocharger with an intercooler, enhancing performance and efficiency. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a 7-speed G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission, offering smooth and responsive gear changes. The Vito 119 CDI achieves a combined fuel consumption of 6.6 liters per 100 kilometers (35.6 US mpg or 42.8 UK mpg), with CO2 emissions of 174 g/km, meeting Euro 6c emission standards. The weight-to-power ratio is 10.1 kg/Hp, and the weight-to-torque ratio is 4.4 kg/Nm, indicating a respectable power-to-weight balance.
