Overview
Seeing the Mercedes-Benz badge affixed to the front of a large commercial van feels, well, wrong, but the Sprinter van is a global leader in cargo hauling. It’s anything but a luxury-oriented Mercedes, instead focusing on package delivery and worksite practicality. A 170-hp diesel inline-four is standard, as is rear-wheel drive. A more powerful 211-hp version of the diesel is available and can be had with all-wheel drive.
The Sprinter is offered in several configurations: the Cargo Van model has seating for two and a crazy amount of cargo capacity behind the front seats. The Passenger Van variant can be had with up to five rows of seats to maximize people space. The Crew Van splits the difference and comes with two rows of seats with plenty of room behind the second row for your team’s tools of the trade.
Expert Tip: If you’re interested in an electric cargo van, Mercedes-Benz also makes the eSprinter, but we review that model separately.

What's New for 2027?
The entry-level Worker trim for the Sprinter Cargo Van has been discontinued. Otherwise, the Sprinter carries over to 2027 without any other significant changes.
If this year's model is largely unchanged and you're comfortable with a lightly used car, you may want to consider shopping previous model years. A one-to-three-year-old model will likely have a warranty and it'll cost less than buying new.

Pricing and Which One to Buy
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Every Sprinter, save for the electric eSprinter, relies on diesel fuel. The base engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated for 170 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The optional high-output engine is good for 211 ponies and 332 pound-feet. Both feed a nine-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available only with the higher-output engine.
While not as potent as the 310-hp EcoBoost V-6 in the Ford Transit or the 401-hp V-8 in the GMC Savana, the Sprinter's diesels offer adequate thrust. Though no van boasts razor-sharp handling, the Sprinter's standard load-adaptive stability control and available crosswind-assist systems help keep it out of trouble in dicey situations.
What's Your Car Worth?
Car and Driver calculates your car's value in three free and easy steps - using the same Black Book® data dealers use to appraise vehicles.
0–60-MPH Times
In Comparison: Though we've yet to strap our test equipment to a recent Sprinter, we can tell you this is not a quick vehicle. We'd guess the base model would need 13.5 seconds to reach 60 mph, while the higher-output model might take 12.0. For reference, the Ford Transit can complete the same sprint in as little as 6.7 seconds.
Towing and Payload Capacity
The Sprinter can tow up to 7500 pounds when equipped with the high-output engine. Models with the 170-hp four-cylinder are good for 5000 pounds, though wheelbase and other specs can affect that cap.
The Sprinter's maximum payload is 6812 pounds. In order to reach that figure, you'll have to spec the cargo van with the heavy-duty 4500 chassis, the standard roof, the 144-inch wheelbase, rear-wheel drive, and the high-output engine. Crew models can carry as much as 3825 pounds, while the passenger van's hauling capacity tops out at 3307 pounds.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
The EPA doesn't require automakers to submit fuel-economy data for full-size vans, nor does it publish such information. When we take a Sprinter on our 200-mile real-world highway fuel economy route, we'll update this section with the results.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
First Row: Like other full-size vans, the entry-level Sprinter is spartan inside, but the driver's seat is heated, cruise control comes standard, and Benz offers several extra-cost upgrades to improve comfort, convenience, and driver safety.
Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Rows: The Sprinter cargo van has no seats after the driver and front passenger, but the Crew model gets a three-seat second row. Standard-length (144-inch) passenger vans can comfortably accommodate 12 people across four rows, while the 170-incher passenger van seats 15 across five rows.
Cargo Capacity: The cargo van offers up to 533 cubic feet of space for whatever you need to haul. Crew vans can swallow a max of 396 cubes, while the passenger van (when fully occupied) tops out at 117 cubic feet.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The Sprinter is not your typical Mercedes. It's built for utility first and foremost, which helps explain the base model's underwhelming tech setup. Mercedes provides an AM/FM radio that plays through five speakers (13 in passenger vans).
Shoppers can option a 10.3-inch touchscreen, though, and that system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connections.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The majority of the Sprinter's driver-assistance features are optional, not standard.
For information about the Sprinter's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites.
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
The Sprinter's limited warranty is typical for the class, but its powertrain coverage is longer than most. Mercedes doesn't include scheduled maintenance.
C/D Test Results and Specs
Each year, we put hundreds of vehicles through our rigorous instrumented testing regimen. If the data in the chart below is for a different model year, that's because this vehicle hasn't changed since we last tested it, and the test results remain accurate.
