Pros

Excellent interior space with a true walk-through cabin
Hundreds of passenger and cargo configurations and features
Fairly maneuverable for its size
High-class, high-tech interior is uncommon among vans

Cons

Typically costs more than rival full-size vans

What's new

Last year's diesel V6 has been replaced by a turbo four-cylinder
The previous seven-speed transmission has been replaced by a nine-speed
Four-wheel drive has been replaced by all-wheel drive
Part of the third Sprinter generation introduced for 2019

Overview

When it comes to all-out utility and hauling, nothing can beat the utter simplicity of a big box on wheels, and that's precisely what today's vans are. One of the best vans you can get is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, which is available in a variety of configurations with a choice of three distinct engines. This year, the two diesel engines are new, with a turbocharged four-cylinder replacing last year's slightly less powerful V6. Those diesel engines also get a new nine-speed transmission to replace the previous seven-speed, and four-wheel drive has been replaced with all-wheel drive.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 144" WB Cargo 3dr Van (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of N/A undefined in Ohio.}

As good as the Sprinter is, it's not the only game in town. The class is also made up of worthy alternatives such as the Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster and the smaller Mercedes-Benz Metris. It looks like 2023 will be a peak for the van class, as the Transit and Metris are both expected to be discontinued after 2023. Even the Sprinter's lineup will be pared down with the discontinuation of the base gasoline engine.

That means if you've been thinking of trying out the van life or if your business needs a serious hauler, you should move sooner rather than later. We suggest starting with the 2023 Sprinter so you could compare the rest against its smoother ride and nicer interior.

Which Sprinter does Edmunds recommend?

The absence of traditional trim levels means you'll be selecting a Sprinter based on your particular needs. We would recommend upgrading to the more powerful turbodiesel engine. The base four-cylinder turbo engine doesn't really cut it for a full-size van, especially one laden with cargo.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter models

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a full-size van available in cargo, passenger and crew configurations. All three configurations come in 144-inch and 170-inch wheelbase lengths; the cargo van with the 170-inch wheelbase also comes in an extended version for even more cargo space. A choice of high roof or standard roof is available on all three configurations.

Mercedes also offers regular 1500 and 2500 models and heavy-duty 3500 and 4500 models. The standard engine on the 1500 models is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (188 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission that drives the rear wheels. This gas engine is also standard on a few configurations of the 2500 as well. Otherwise, all other Sprinters come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter diesel four-cylinder engine that has one of two outputs: a standard version (168 hp, 295 lb-ft) or a high-output version (208 hp, 332 lb-ft). All-wheel drive is optional on 2500 and 3500 models.

Standard equipment on the cargo van includes:

Metal cargo floor
270-degree-opening rear doors
Heated mirrors
Front seats
Cruise control
Air conditioning
Tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel
Rearview camera
Sound system and two USB ports
Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
Crosswind assist (helps the driver stay on course in windy conditions)

The crew van (2500 and up) adds:

Second-row three-seat bench for five-passenger seating
Side-door windows

The passenger van (available in 1500 and 2500 configurations) features:

Three rows of rear seats
Rear interior trim and tinted rear windows

The options list is lengthy and can change depending on configuration, but highlights include:

Driver's side sliding rear door
Heavy-duty suspension
Front and rear parking sensors and a 360-degree parking camera
Upgraded front seats with heating
Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system with either a 7- or a 10.25-inch touchscreen
Navigation system

Cargo and crew vans can be equipped with driver-compartment partitions, a roof fan (or heater), a fixed rear sunroof, roof rails and various interior storage options. The passenger van can be equipped with rear air conditioning.

Optional driver aids for all three models include:

Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the Sprinter and the car in front)
Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
Rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your vehicle's path while in reverse)
Lane keeping assistance (steers the car back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

Bad taste in my mouth., 11/30/2021

2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 170" WB Crew 3dr Van 4WD w/High Roof (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 7A)

This poor excuse for a vehicle is, once again, in the Mercedes dealer shop for a bad EGR valve. It has been there for 2 months and I just heard it will be at least another 6 months before Mercedes can manufacture the part. They won't even allow us to take the van as it is an emmissions problem.

2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 170" WB Cargo 3dr Van w/High Roof (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 7A)

Waited for 2019, happy I did. A few warranty items taken care of by dealership. January got gelled up at -30. Lesson learned-only #1 diesel and additive to prevent. Dealership covered my $1500 bill!! Seems reliable and safe for the miles I put on in 4 different states for my business. Note: seems much different than all the Mercedes sedans that I have owned. I shouldn't compare. …

Update: The differential has now been replaced. It is not perfect, but is a solid 75% improvement. Still a little whine but not close to how loud the whine was previously. The axle came so complete, it even had rotors and brake pads attached. The whole complete axle was replaced. Loving the van, still a shame that I had to go 12,000 miles before it was repaired, it took six months but is …

We have a 2019 Sprinter diesel in our small delivery fleet and it has been a real disappointment. It is sitting once again at the dealer where it has been for over 2 months and I just heard that it will likely be another 6 months before the EGR valves are back in stock and it can be fixed. This is the 3rd lengthy stay at the shop for the same issue and each time it has taken months to …

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vs. Ford Transit Cargo Van

Both the Sprinter and Transit vans have seemingly endless ways to be tailored to your particular needs, whether you're hauling goods or people. Both are also easy to drive and maneuver in tight confines. The Transist's two available V6 engines are more powerful than the Sprinter's four-cylinder engines, but you'll get better fuel efficiency from the Sprinter.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vs. Ram Promaster Cargo Van

The Ram ProMaster is just as easy to drive as the Sprinter, and pricing is comparable throughout the lineup. The ProMaster ends up falling short, though, since it's only available in front-wheel drive and its ride quality is rougher. You also get more refinement and technology features with the Sprinter.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vs. Mercedes-Benz Metris

If you don't need all of the space the Sprinter provides, it might make more sense to downsize to the Mercedes-Benz Metris. It's easier to maneuver and less expensive to purchase. The downside is that it can't hold as much cargo or carry as many passengers as the Sprinter.

Safety

Our experts’ favorite Sprinter safety features:

Adaptive Cruise Control: Keeps a set distance behind the car in front of you and brakes automatically when it slows down, adapting to traffic conditions.
Lane Keeping Assistance: Monitors lane markings and sends visual and audible warnings if the driver drifts from the lane.
Load-Adaptive Stability Control: Factors in vehicle load and center of gravity and can brake individual wheels and reduce engine power to stabilize the van if wheelspin is detected.
