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 mainstay in the large panel and crew van market, offering immense versatility to rival key players like the Ford Transit and VW Crafter. Available in various combinations including panel van (three seats) or crew van (six seats), four body lengths, three roof heights, and multiple trims, it caters to a vast array of business needs. Mercedes-Benz also offers Ready to Work conversions for dropside, tipper, and luton variants, alongside a nine-seat Tourer for passenger transport and chassis cabs for bespoke conversions, ensuring a solution for almost any requirement.

Drivetrain options include front-wheel, rear-wheel, or four-wheel drive, with six-speed manual or advanced 7G-Tronic/9G-Tronic automatic gearboxes. Engine choices feature efficient 2.0-litre and 2.1-litre four-cylinder turbodiesels, or a powerful 3.0-litre V6, all offering competitive fuel economy and strong torque. The eSprinter provides an electric option for urban low-emission zones. The cabin boasts car-like driving manners, a well-built interior, and standard MBUX infotainment with Apple CarPlay, DAB, Wi-Fi, and Mercedes PRO connect services for enhanced fleet management and safety, making it a sophisticated and practical workhorse with manageable running costs.

Best for: Businesses needing a highly versatile, reliable, and technologically advanced large commercial van; those who value a premium badge and comprehensive support services; companies operating in urban low-emission zones (eSprinter).

Not ideal for: Buyers on a very tight budget (especially for the eSprinter); those needing the absolute lowest running costs from a V6 engine; those overwhelmed by the sheer number of configuration choices.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Sprinter if: You're a business needing a highly versatile, reliable, and technologically advanced large commercial van; you value a premium badge and comprehensive support services; or your operations are in urban low-emission zones (eSprinter).

Consider alternatives if: You're on a very tight budget (especially for the eSprinter); you need the absolute lowest running costs from a V6 engine; or you find the sheer number of configuration choices overwhelming.

Competitive Position: The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (2019-present) is a formidable contender in the large commercial van market, distinguished by its extensive range of configurations, premium brand image, advanced technology, and car-like driving experience. While the electric eSprinter has a higher initial cost and the V6 diesel is less economical, the four-cylinder diesel options provide a balanced blend of performance and competitive running costs. Its MBUX infotainment system and Mercedes PRO connect services offer significant advantages in connectivity and fleet management, making it an attractive and adaptable choice for businesses seeking a sophisticated and reliable workhorse.
