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

Pros	Cons
A desirable package with a premium badge	High list price of the electric model

Quick Summary

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (2019-present) is a premium large commercial panel van that exemplifies the breadth of Mercedes-Benz's vehicle portfolio. Available in panel van with three seats or crew van with six seats, it offers four body lengths, three roof heights, and multiple trim levels across various payloads. The Sprinter can be configured as a standard panel van, Tourer with nine seats, or through Ready to Work conversions as a dropside, tipper, Luton, or chassis cab for specialist builds. With front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or four-wheel drive options, combined with two six-speed manual and two automatic gearboxes, the Sprinter provides exceptional versatility for any commercial requirement.

Engine choices span two four-cylinder turbodiesels (2.0-litre and 2.1-litre with outputs from 141bhp to 168bhp) and a range-topping 187bhp 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel. All diesel variants achieve competitive fuel economy, with four-cylinder models approaching 30mpg in WLTP testing. The cabin is well-built and car-like in its driving experience, featuring a comfortable driver's seat, practical storage, and the seven-inch MBUX infotainment system with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, DAB radio, and Mercedes PRO connect services for fleet management. A fully-electric eSprinter is also available, offering around 96 miles between charges for businesses prioritising a clean image in urban ultra-low emissions zones.

Best for: Commercial operators seeking a premium badge with comprehensive payload and capacity options, businesses requiring fleet management technology, and those operating in emissions-restricted zones (eSprinter).

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers deterred by high list prices, operators unwilling to invest time selecting the correct specification, or those seeking lower running costs with the V6 engine option.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Sprinter if: You seek a premium commercial van with comprehensive payload and capacity options, require advanced fleet management technology, or operate in emissions-restricted zones.

Consider alternatives if: You are budget-conscious, prefer simpler specification choices, or prioritise lower running costs over premium badge appeal.

Competitive Position: The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (2019-present) is a compelling choice in the large commercial van market, offering premium badge prestige, exceptional versatility, and advanced technology. Whilst the Ford Transit Custom leads on value with 68.3% good/great deals and a 4.5 overall rating, the Sprinter's comprehensive range, car-like driving experience, and Mercedes PRO connect services justify its premium positioning. The Vauxhall Vivaro and Renault Trafic offer competitive alternatives with strong user ratings, but the Sprinter's breadth of configuration options and technological sophistication make it the standout choice for operators prioritising quality and capability over cost.
