A Reputation Built on Safety and Reliability
Safety and reliability make a Sprinter. That’s not just a clever line; it reflects how this vehicle is built from the ground up. Sprinters are engineered with durable diesel powertrains, advanced driver assistance systems, and an unwavering commitment to longevity.
- All-Wheel Drive Capability: For those who face off-road job sites or unpredictable conditions, the available AWD system adds 4.3 inches of ground clearance over the RWD model, giving you added traction and confidence when it counts.
- Advanced Safety Features: Many of the same driver assistance features found in luxury Mercedes-Benz vehicles are available in Sprinters, including Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane-Keeping Assist, and optional innovations like Sideguard Assist and the Moving Off Information System (MOIS), which help detect pedestrians and cyclists.
- Durability for the Long Haul: With routine maintenance, it’s not uncommon for a Sprinter to exceed 300,000 miles, a testament to Mercedes-Benz engineering.
When you do need service, ServiceCARE means repairs are done right, using only Genuine Mercedes-Benz Parts, keeping your van in peak condition with less downtime.
Lower Cost Over Time
While the initial cost of a Sprinter may be higher than some competitors, Mercedes-Benz proves that value isn’t just about price tags; it’s about long-term return.
- J.D. Power Best Residual Value: The 2025 U.S. ALG Residual Value Awards named the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter #1 for resale value among commercial vans.
- Longest Factory Warranty: Every Sprinter comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, both among the longest in the industry.
- Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): When you factor in durability, maintenance intervals, and fuel efficiency, the Sprinter often proves more economical than lower-priced alternatives.
If uptime, resale value, and reliability are important to your bottom line, the Sprinter is a smart investment.
Smart Design for Smarter Workflow
From a practical standpoint, the Sprinter is built with your daily demands in mind. Simple features like 270-degree hinged rear doors make a big difference in loading and unloading. Plus, with countless upfitting options, including shelving, refrigeration, dump bodies, and custom lighting, there’s no need to compromise on your setup.
