our expert's take

Vehicle Overview

Designed specifically for commercial applications as passenger, cargo or chassis-cab vans, the Sprinter can be built on one of two wheelbases with one of three roof heights. The Sprinter competes in a class with the Chevrolet Express, Ford E-Series Wagon and GMC Savana.

New for 2011
Mercedes-Benz introduces a Crew Van model of the Sprinter that is designed to carry five passengers as well as cargo. Also, all models receive a restyled instrument cluster and new Bluetec badging.

Exterior
The back doors open to the vehicle’s full height and swing open 270 degrees. One-touch, triple-flash turn signals and wide-angle mirrors are standard. A power sliding door is optional on both cargo and passenger models. Exterior features include:

  • Standard power windows, locks and integrated wide-angle mirrors
  • Standard 16-inch steel wheels
  • Optional 16-inch aluminum wheels
  • Standard sliding passenger-side door
  • Dual hinged doors in back with a 270-degree opening
  • Optional side doors (in place of sliding door)
  • Optional heated windshield and rain-sensing wipers

Interior
Up to 12 occupants fit inside a passenger-carrying Sprinter. Two people sit up front and as many as three more rows of seats can be installed. The new Crew Van is designed to carry five people as well as cargo. All models can have bucket seats in front. Sprinters have a flat cargo floor and tapered rear-wheel housings. Interior features include:

  • Available cloth or vinyl seats
  • Standard air conditioning
  • Standard tilt/telescoping steering wheel
  • Standard CD player
  • Optional six-disc CD changer


Under the Hood
Sprinters come in 2500 (three-quarter-ton) and 3500 (one-ton) ratings, but only the 2500 series includes a passenger model. Sprinters are powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel V-6 engine. It produces 185 horsepower and 325 pounds-feet of torque.

Sprinters have an independent front suspension, rear leaf springs and power rack-and-pinion steering. Mechanical features include:

  • 185-hp, turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel V-6 with 325 pounds-feet of torque
  • Five-speed automatic transmission

Safety
Safety features include:

  • Optional side-impact and side curtain airbags
  • Standard all-disc antilock brakes
  • Standard electronic stability system and traction control

  • Great car, but comes with tons ofhead aches

    I own a 2011 Sprinter crew high roof and 144" wheel base. There is nothing like this vehicle to work out of. Comfort and features are the best in its class. But owning one is a head ache like no others. In 15 month and 35000 miles I've been inservice over 30 times. MMaintenance is so overpriced runs on average $650 for an oil change with fuel filter and tire rotation. Goes through tires in 25000 miles and you can never find a good tech to fix it. Just ask anyone who has one.

  • MB Sprinter

    This vehicle drives like a car, has great visability, has great safety features and is very comfortable for a large family. If you are looking for something bigger than a caravan and don't want to lose on gas milage, check out a Sprinter! I love it!

  • Superb

    Cons, front seats and bench seats good but become uncomfortable on long trips, turbo has an uncomfortable high pitch, power lags during hard takeoffs. Pros, superb in traffic and for such a large vehicle parks well in normal spaces, best mpg less than 70 mph, normal 17 mpg.

  • Great Value

    The Sprinter is everything you read about it. Great ride. Great gas milage. Handles terrific. The only downside is now that they are being sold through Mercedes it is difficult getting them serviced. You have to go to a Sprinter Dealer to buy one or have it serviced. If you life near a Dealer--that is not a problem. If you do not, you need to check around to see who in your area is authorized to work or them and get parts. Even the oil is difficult to get through anyone other than a Sprinter dealer.

  • Just a great Cargo Van!

    This by far is the best. Very easy to drive. Great turning radius. Plenty of cargo room and head room. No one has anything to compare. All the safty features in a Mercedes Benz. 24 MPG... If you need a Van, just go drive one....
