Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vs. the competition

2018 Ford Transit Van
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vs. Ford Transit Van
Both models have nearly identical interior and exterior dimensions, though their power delivery is different. The Sprinter has more torque, while the Transit has more horsepower. The Transit is newer and features a more modern infotainment system.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vs. Nissan NV Cargo
The NV's available V8 engine is tempting, but the Sprinter's diesel engine produces nearly the same amount of torque. It gets better fuel economy, too. The Sprinter can carry more cargo, but the NV has a higher tow rating.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vs. Ram ProMaster Cargo Van
If you plan on spending hours at a time behind the wheel of a cargo van, you might like the Sprinter more because it is a little more comfortable. Both vans are nearly tied for towing capacity.
2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for Sale
A Mercedes work or passenger van might sound a bit over the top, akin to Rolex offering a line of pocket knives. But once you get past the traditional perceptions of the badge, and learn that Mercedes trucks and vans are ubiquitous in Europe's commercial working world, the idea no longer seems so odd. That's especially true when you consider that, while the 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van does cost more than its rivals, the premium for entry is not like the increase you find on Benz's luxury sedans and crossovers.
The Sprinter's hallmark is its impressive variations of body style and unmatched interior space. Both passenger and cargo vans are available in two wheelbase lengths with a choice of regular and high roof heights.
Exceptional versatility and a multitude of cargo solutions from upfitters and aftermarket suppliers enhance the Sprinter's options and features. And because of the options and configurations available, the optimal trim or feature set depends on application. The Sprinter is available in regular-duty (2500) and heavy-duty (3500) versions (the latter only for the cargo van), and all come with a basic set of amenities for the driver and front passenger. Beyond that, all else is optional.
Buyers who plan to tow or use a Sprinter in hilly, graded or mountainous areas will enjoy the V6 powertrain's ample 325 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a proven five-speed automatic transmission, power is then sent to the rear wheels. For shoppers needing extra traction, four-wheel drive is an available option. While this setup is not particularly spirited from a standstill, it provides enough torque and response to keep the Sprinter humming, if not exactly dashing, on the highway.
Still, there are legitimate reasons to consider the Sprinter's rivals. They cost less, offer more power and provide similar levels of utility. At least one is available with a V8 and rated to tow almost twice what the Sprinter can handle. (If the Sprinter has an Achilles' heel, it's the relatively modest 5,000-pound maximum tow rating.) But if you don't view the Mercedes badge as an extravagance and your budget can handle the extra cost, let Edmunds help you on your search for the ideal Sprinter van.
