Cargo versions offer as much as 533 cubic feet of space. The Sprinter also offers massive amounts of space. Its seats are well-shaped so they don't break your back after hours behind the wheel, and a Swivel Seat package is available, which makes getting in and out of the van much easier. Its interior has a high-quality feel and remains quiet on the highway. Two reasons the Sprinter is so popular are its comfort and refinement. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGįuel economy is not estimated by the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) on commercial vehicles with a gross-vehicle-weight rating (GVWR) of more than 8500 pounds. The Nissan's payload capacity maxes out at 3720 pounds, but it's not available with a dual-rear-wheel axle like the other two vans. The Mercedes's payload ratings are also higher than the Ford's, with figures that range from 3252 to 7506 pounds versus 2880 to 4550 pounds. However, the V-8-powered Nissan NV's towing capacity maxes out at 9500 pounds. The Transit's maximum tow-rating range starts lower at 4000 pounds and tops out at 6800 pounds. The Sprinter is capable of towing between 50 pounds, depending on the configuration. Michael Simari | Car and Driver Towing and Payload Capacity The Transit is also offered with four-wheel drive. Both diesel variants come with a seven-speed automatic transmission, however, only the six-cylinder is offered with four-wheel drive. The former produces 166 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, and the latter is rated at 188 horses and 325 pound-feet. Mercedes also offers two turbo-diesel options: a 2.0-liter four-pot and a 3.0-liter V-6. Although that's not much power for such a large vehicle, it's more than sufficient for lighter-duty work. The standard powertrain is a 188-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The Sprinter cargo, passenger, and crew vans all are offered with three engine choices. We'd recommend the Driver Convenience package (blind-spot monitor, driver-attention monitor, power-folding exterior mirrors, etc.) and the Premium package that includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, a 7.0-inch touchscreen, and more. However, we do recommend saving some money for the option packages that include the van's available safety systems. With so many variations and price points, your budget and needs should dictate which Sprinter van is right for your business or personal needs. The full-size van is still a huge variety of different configurations, powertrain choices, and customizable options. What's New for 2022?įor 2022, Mercedes doesn't make any significant changes to the Sprinter family. With so much interior space and seemingly infinite ways to outfit it, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a seriously useful tool for folks in the skilled trades. The trio can be equipped with tech such as a 10.3-inch touchscreen and various driver assists. The Merc can be had with a dual-rear-wheel axle, multiple roof heights, and three distinct variations: cargo, crew, and passenger. It can also tow up to 7500 pounds, but that's 1900 pounds less the Nissan NV, another Sprinter rival, can handle. Along with a standard turbo-four engine, the Sprinter offers two different diesel options and rear- or all-wheel drive. ![]() However, it's also more expensive than similarly versatile rivals such as the Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster.
