The two-stage turbocharged 2.1-litre BlueTec four-cylinder diesel offers those who don鈥檛 need as much capability a less expensive, more fuel-efficient alternative to its carryover 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6. For example, my tester came with a $670 Convenience Package that added a multifunction steering wheel, a trip computer, cruise control, a hinged lid for the centre console storage compartment, and two additional master keys; a $2,040 Driving Assistance Package that added auto on/off headlamps with auto high beams, rain-sensing wipers, heated and power-adjustable side mirrors, heat-insulating front glass with a windshield band, collision prevention assist, blindspot assist, lane keeping assist, and an overhead console with dual reading lamps; an $840 Passenger Comfort Package with illuminated exits, a convenience light in the cargo/passenger compartment, a two-stage sliding door opening, an assist handle on the sliding door B-pillar, plus aisle- and wall-side armrests for the rear bench seats; a $1,410 powered sidestep below the sliding door; a $230 fixed step for the rear door; $980 front and rear parking sensors; and more.
However, they feature items like high-roofs, an extended wheelbase, and increased storage capacity. Max payload capacity for the 3500 4x2 model is more than 5,000 pounds, while the maximum towing capacity (also offered on the same configuration) is 7,500 pounds (most models have a 5,000-pound towing capacity). The main difference is capacity. Yet, it still manages to slip in a nice amount of refinement typically synonymous with much pricier and luxurious Mercedes. It takes off quickly, although it鈥檚 the smoothness of the powertrain that鈥檚 most impressive, the five-speed auto a very nice match to the engine. Among the seemingly countless 2019 Sprinter models, all are equipped with keyless ignition, rear doors that open 180 degrees, a tilt steering wheel with paddle shifters, a trailer-hitch prep package, an interior with a load width of approximately 61 inches and a powertrain warranty extended to five years and/or 100,00 miles. The Sprinter鈥檚 brakes are strong too, while the big van鈥檚 surprisingly skillful handling defies its sheer size, height and mass, the Sprinter feeling much smaller than it actually is. Spending $52,100 upgrades the same van with the as-tested High Roof, allowing easy upright movement within, which is much more suitable for shuttling elderly clients and/or those with disabilities.
Come down to Alfano Motorcars | Mercedes-Benz, where we treat all of our clients like guests and not just another number. Competitors have since followed in Mercedes鈥?footsteps by bringing over a number of challengers. Even this shorter 144-inch wheelbase model (a longer model offers a 170-inch wheelbase) glides well over bumps and road imperfections, and the tightness of the van鈥檚 build quality manages to quell the structural shudder we鈥檝e experienced in other older large vans. The Sprinter Passenger Van has a plastic floor, whereas the Cargo Van鈥檚 is steel, which allows for better securing of the racks and shelves that will be installed to meet varying commercial needs. For starters, it鈥檚 competitively priced when compared to immediate rivals, while equally important is resale value, the Sprinter earning the Canadian Black Book Best Retained Value award for six consecutive years since 2010. Mercedes also claims average fuel economy of 7.7 L/100 km with the base engine, while both powertrains are warranted for 60 months or 160,000 km. We are proud to be the Mercedes-Benz dealer in San Luis Obispo. From the back, consumers should notice new LED taillights and a shift of the Mercedes-Benz emblem from the windows to the doors.
The driver鈥檚 seat is certainly comfortable, while the Passenger Van鈥檚 surrounding windows improve visibility over the Cargo Van, although I found myself relying on the big side mirrors anyway. When considering a commercial passenger van, styling or prestige may not be a top priority. Mercedes probably sells far more Sprinters for commercial use than for passenger hauling, so it wouldn鈥檛 be surprising if comfort, specifically ride quality, weren鈥檛 a priority in this van鈥檚 development. The smaller engine puts out 161 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque compared to the six-cylinder鈥檚 188 horsepower and 325 lb-ft, plus the 2.1 makes use of Mercedes鈥?seven-speed automatic that includes two additional overdrive gears to improve performance and enhance economy; the V6 utilizes the well-proven five-speed automatic.For the 2015 model year, Mercedes continued to up its Sprinter game with a new segment-exclusive 4脳4 drivetrain for V6-powered cargo and passenger models. Standard with this particular setup are also all-terrain tires, elevated ride height and low-range transfer case, making the Sprinter the only commercial van to actually offer factory-fitted four-wheel drive. What鈥檚 more, the rear seats are designed to be more easily removed than before, and they鈥檙e now available with a reclining option. A Lanchester balancer with two counter-rotating shafts, the camshaft drive positioned further to the rear and a two-mass flywheel all contribute to the engine鈥檚 extremely smooth running characteristics.
