Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (2019-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Premium badge and strong business image	More expensive than many rivals
Excellent safety and driver assistance kit	eSprinter won't suit every operator
Huge range of bodies, drivetrains and conversions	So much choice makes careful configuration essential

Quick Summary

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (2019-present) is a premium large van combining heavy-duty practicality with an upmarket image. Available as a panel van in multiple lengths and heights, with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive options, it also offers chassis cab and crew cab derivatives for specialist conversions. The fully electric eSprinter provides up to 272 miles of range with rapid DC charging capability, making it suitable for urban deliveries and clean-air zones. The cab feels substantial and polished, featuring Mercedes-Benz's MBUX infotainment system, comprehensive safety equipment including Active Brake Assist and Blind Spot Assist, and excellent visibility for a vehicle of its size.

The Sprinter is good to drive by large-van standards, with light steering and stable handling. Diesel models remain the sensible choice for long-distance work and heavy loads, with fuel economy ranging from 22.2mpg to 34.4mpg depending on configuration. The 9G-Tronic automatic gearbox suits urban work and multi-drop routes. Whilst not the cheapest large van to buy, strong residual values and configurability help offset the premium purchase price. Connected services aid fleet management and maintenance planning, making the Sprinter a polished, hard-working commercial vehicle for operators prioritising image and capability.

Best for: Businesses seeking a premium large van with strong brand image, operators requiring extensive customisation options, and those covering long distances or operating in clean-air zones (eSprinter).

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious operators seeking the cheapest large van option, or those with straightforward, unchanging van requirements.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Sprinter if: You're seeking a premium large van with strong business image, require extensive customisation options, or operate in clean-air zones (eSprinter).

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious and seeking the cheapest large van option, or have straightforward, unchanging van requirements.

Competitive Position: The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (2019-present) is a premium large van that backs its prestigious badge with genuine capability, extensive configurability and impressive safety equipment. Whilst rivals like the Ford Transit Custom, Vauxhall Vivaro and Renault Trafic offer better value and higher user ratings, the Sprinter's polished cab, advanced technology and strong residual values justify the premium price for operators prioritising image and long-term whole-life costs. It's not the default choice for budget-conscious buyers, but it makes a compelling case for those willing to invest in a hard-working, highly configurable commercial vehicle with genuine premium appeal.
