The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van has been a top choice for commercial and personal transportation needs for years. Mercedes-Benz recently revealed the new Sprinter, which brings some meaningful upgrades to the iconic van. See why Winter Garden and Clermont businesses are opting for this efficient model.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, Mercedes-Benz equips the new Sprinter with some muscular but efficient diesel options. The standard engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel, putting out a respectable 170 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. It's enough muscle for everyday driving around St. Cloud while saving fuel. But for those needing more power, Mercedes-Benz offers an upgraded twin-turbo diesel pumping out 211 horsepower and a stout 332 pound-feet of torque. Both engines come mated to a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission. The V6 can even be configured with 4Motion all-wheel drive for enhanced traction in any terrain. Max towing ranges from 5,000 pounds for the four-cylinder to 7,500 pounds for the V6. Payload capacity is equally impressive at nearly 4,700 pounds for the standard engine and over 6,800 pounds with the V6.
Interior
Mercedes-Benz gave the Sprinter's cabin a major makeover. Gone is the spartan old interior, replaced with a more premium and user-friendly layout. The redesigned dashboard looks crisp and modern with its flowing lines and integrated screens. Seating is made more comfortable with higher-grade upholstery, and passenger models can fit up to 15 people if desired. There are some clever storage solutions, like configurable shelves and drawers, to keep gear organized and within reach. The dual 12.3-inch digital displays in higher trims are sharp and customizable, letting drivers access navigation, entertainment, and vehicle data on the vibrant screens.
Exterior
At first glance, the new Sprinter keeps its classic tall, brick-like silhouette that maxes out cargo capacity. But a closer look reveals some styling updates. The front end gets a more modern look with Mercedes-Benz' new grille design flanked by swept-back LED headlamps. The fenders and hood are more sculpted as well, which, along with the new bumper, gives the Sprinter a leaner, more aerodynamic presence. New wheel designs round out the exterior changes. The refreshed styling is still functional; the high roof means easy access, and big windows all around provide excellent outward views to aid maneuverability. The changes are understated but make the Sprinter look like the capable and advanced workhorse it is.
Safety
On the safety front, Mercedes-Benz continues to push the Sprinter forward with the latest driver assistance systems. All models now come standard with Crosswind Assist to improve stability in gusty conditions. Other fresh standard features include Active Brake Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Attention Assist. Together, these can help avoid collisions or drifting out of the lane. Drivers can opt for even more aids through the Driver Assistance Package. This bundles extras like Adaptive Cruise Control with stop-and-go capability, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Change Assist, and more. With both standard and available safety tech, Mercedes-Benz makes a compelling case for the Sprinter being among the most technologically advanced in the segment.
Technology
For infotainment and connectivity, the new Sprinter adopts Mercedes-Benz' latest MBUX software. This enables natural voice control of navigation, music, climate, and more. You can also interact with MBUX through the center touchscreen or touchpad controller. It has standard tech features such as Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Bluetooth®, and multiple USB ports. In higher trims, the Sprinter gets dual 12.3-inch displays configurable to driver preferences. This huge digital cockpit provides crisp graphics and intuitive controls.
