2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter First Drive Review

2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter First Drive Review



Although the European fuel economy test is and the Sprinter is officially exempt from EPA testing by virtue of its over-8600 GVWR, Mercedes-Benz claims an eye-popping fuel economy rating of 37.34 mpg. As you ponder that thought, take a gander at a group of specifications that compare the European diesels with the most fuel-efficient engines in each of the US domestics 鈥?While our future hinges on the rapid adoption of fuel-efficient vehicles, our government stands in the way of a rapid free market solution. American citizens cannot buy and drive the fuel-efficient cars they build. All of these 35 MPG cars and SUVs are built in North American plants by North American workers 鈥?That鈥檚 35 MPG 鈥?The thriftiest of the bunch delivers nearly 50 MPG on the highway 鈥?The Sprinter's standard engine is a diesel-powered 2.1-liter 4-cylinder, which delivers 161-hp and 265 lb.-ft. By the end of this year, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, complete with a new face, even more safety features, and a brand-new four-cylinder diesel base engine. When more cargo area is required, the quality power-folding third row folds flat with the ground.



Despite the important role it plays, a van partition between the cargo area and the driver鈥檚 cabin misses in most work vans. Here we are in Boise where we have an appointment with the Mercedes dealer to get some warranty work done on the Sprinter. Round-the-clock roadside assist is available throughout the warranty period. The design was previewed in 2016 with the Vision Van concept. The safety features also prove the integrity of the well thought-out design. There is a premium road-going model as well as an all out off-road machine. Only equipment basic to each model is listed. Marketed under Dodge (during the DaimlerChrysler era until 2007) and Freightliner (a Daimler AG subsidiary) nameplates in addition to Mercedes-Benz, the first-gen Sprinter was sold in various sizes and styles until 2006 when it was replaced by a second-gen model. The first EQ model will be the EQ C electric crossover, which will debut later this year.



To begin with, it's built in Alabama and has been since it first burst onto the scene as one of the first luxury SUVs. First Cover is underwritten by Highway Insurance Company Limited. Of course, the Sprinter Worker is limited in features and comes only in white. Speaking of wheels, the Sprinter tested here rode on standard-issue 16-inch steelies, wrapped in light-truck-spec winter tires (snow rubbers are required in British Columbia through the end of March). Luxurious leather seats are arranged in rows for comfortable travel, plus this vehicle features a TV, DVD player and sound system. The Amarok starts at $31,490, plus on-road costs, for the 4x2 dual-cab TDI340and tops out with the 4x4 TDI420 Ultimate at $65,290. It comes with a low step-in height than most vans, which eases getting in and out even for tall people. Also coming out in May, the 2012 Mercedes CLS will be arriving.



Additionally, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class will be debuting in the Fall, offering a redesign of our most popular SUV. Closer to Fall 2011, Mercedes-Benz will release the 2012 C-Class coupe, a two-door version of the popular Mercedes-Benz sedan. Engine: Mercedes-Benz 3.0 liter common rail diesel, producing 215 HP and 376 foot pounds of torque. Engine: VM Motori 2.8 liter common rail diesel four cylinder, producing 161 HP and 295 foot pounds of torque. Engine: VM Motori 2.8 liter common rail diesel four cylinder, producing 174 HP and 302 foot pounds of torque. Engine: Volkswagen 2.0 liter common rail turbo-diesel four cylinder, producing 140 HP and 229 foot pounds of torque. Engine: Mercedes-Benz 2.2 liter common rail diesel four cylinder, producing 148 HP and 221 foot pounds of torque. The ZF-Saginaw power-steering gear system was initially offered in the Mercedes-Benz 300 from March 1958 as an optional extra. For a passenger conversion we can add between 1 and 16 seats depending on wheelbase, and up to 6 wheelchair positions in the longest variation, the Extra Long.



Only a G-Class can be better than a G-Class. Kyle/Frank will be representing MBKC charity Sleepyhead Beds while the Todd/Todd group will be representing 810 Cares for KC, 810 WHB鈥檚 charity. The most fuel efficient Mercedes-Benz available, they will attempt to complete a lap of the 435 loop while using as little as fuel as possible. Highlights: The appeal of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD lies not just its configurability or its size (though it is very, very big); it's how it handles its considerable, versatility-bestowing bulk. In this article, the break down the various Mercedes-Benz Sprinter dimensions into the four load lengths and three roof heights. The Mercedes-Benz of your dreams awaits you. The time has again come for the 2011 Kansas City International Auto Show, and Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City will have a bigger presence than ever. Here at Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City we are pleased to announce that Kyle Rhode and Todd Boyers have been chosen to ride with 810 radio personalities Frank Boal and Todd Leabo in tomorrow鈥檚 Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City MPG Challenge. MPG Challenge Teams Announced!
