Mark has also contributed to Motor Trend, Auto Aficionado, Chevy High Performance and several motorcycle magazines in various roles.

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Last year's diesel V6 has been replaced by a turbo four-cylinder
The previous seven-speed transmission has been replaced by a nine-speed
Four-wheel drive has been replaced by all-wheel drive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 Virginia.}

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.

1st van, I'm really liking it! 18-26 mpg, business

Satisfied, MB purest, 10/23/2019

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. …

Stay away from Mercedes!

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. This is the 3rd time for the same issue and each time it has taken at least 2 months to get …

2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD 170" WB Crew 3dr Van 4WD DRW w/High Roof (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 7A)

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 …

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

One word - JUNK !!!!! Problems with EGR - The Crosswind sensor locks up - Little wind and goes from side to side like drunk - Crossing the bridge you have to pray for no winds - Seats are made so close to the door rubbing your leg . Like I said expensive piece of sh...t .

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, so we've included reviews for other years of the Sprinter since its last redesign.

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.

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.
