In the fall of 2017, the renewed 200-series Variot were introduced. Alongside the standard models, there were still more compact V, F, and P versions designed for specialty cultivation needs. The engines were now Stage 3b emission level and equipped with an oxidation catalyst, exhaust gas recirculation, four-valve technology, and a wastegate turbocharger. Additionally, the cooling system featured an adjustable fan blade, with the fan’s reversing function promised to also eliminate the need for radiator cleaning. The Vario transmission was the same ML 75 as in the 300 series and did not have separate settings for field and road areas. A speed of 40 km/h was achieved at 1750 rpm. There were two cruise control memory settings. The TMS system, which adjusted engine speed according to load, was an optional extra, as was the VarioActive quick steering. The three-point hitch was electrically operated and had a lifting capacity of 4200 kg. For the hydraulics, an optional variable displacement pump producing 33 + 71 l/min was available. The outputs of the pumps could be combined if necessary.

Unlike the larger models, the electrical system was implemented without bus technology. Standard features included, among others, an air suspension seat, assistant’s seat, and disengagements for the four-wheel drive and differential locks based on speed and now also on wheel steering. Optional extras included manual or automatic air conditioning and cab suspension.
