Mercedes-Benz’s third-generation Sprinter will enter Australian showrooms next month with the choice of three body styles – single-cab chassis, dual-cab chassis or panel van – priced from $41,238 before on-road costs.
The front-wheel drive (FWD) manual 311CDI medium-wheelbase (MWB) single-cab chassis will open the line-up, motivated by an 84kW 2.1-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine and featuring a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of 3.55 tonnes.
The single-cab chassis can also be specified with a 105kW or 120kW tune of the same engine and a GVM of 4.10, 4.49 or 5.00 tonnes.
However, the flagship single-cab chassis is the 140kW/440Nm 3.0-litre turbo-diesel six-cylinder, which is exclusively mated to a seven-speed automatic and ranges in GVM from 4.10 to 5.00 tonnes. Its pricing stretches to $65,718 in rear-wheel drive (RWD) 519CDI long-wheelbase (LWB) form.
Opting for the dual-cab chassis exclusively brings RWD, while all 2.1-litre variants output 120kW via a six-speed manual gearbox. All 3.0-litre variants again develop 140kW in tandem with a seven-speed automatic transmission.
The dual-cab chassis starts from $56,552 for the manual 316CDI MWB (with a 3.55t GVM) and reaches $69,332 for the automatic 519CDI LWV (with a 5.00t GVM).
Meanwhile, the panel van kicks off from $46,008 for the FWD manual 311CDI short-wheelbase (SWB) and tops out at $76,069 for the RWD automatic 519CDI LWB.
FWD panel vans are only offered in SWB and MWB forms, while RWD variants are available in MWB, LWB and extra-long-wheelbase (ELWB) guises.
Similar to the single-cab chassis, the panel van’s 2.1-litre engine is offered in three tunes and is matched to a six-speed manual gearbox as standard.
The 3.0-litre engine can also be optioned on the panel van, with it exclusively combining a seven-speed automatic transmission with RWD.
As reported, FWD is new to the Sprinter, increasing payload by 50kg when compared with its previous model. It also features an 80mm-lower loading sill.
All FWD variants are fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, but a newly-developed nine-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters can be added for a $2875 premium.
Standard safety equipment in the Sprinter includes auto emergency braking, crosswind assist, lane-keeping assist, driver attention detection and front airbags, while the panel van also picks up blind-spot monitoring and a reversing camera.
Optional gear includes adaptive cruise control, active lane-keep assist and surround-view cameras.
The German brand’s new 'Mercedes-Benz User Experience' (MBUX) multimedia is also standard across the range, projected via a 7.0- or 10.25-inch touchscreen. It can also be controlled via steering wheel controls and voice commands.
The Sprinter also includes keyless start, cupholders, a multi-function display, cruise control and air-conditioning.
Options extend to loadable wheelarches, power-adjustable seats, load-compartment LED lighting strips and barn doors.
All Sprinters come with Mercedes-Benz Vans’ three-year/200,000km warranty with roadside assistance. Service intervals for some variants have increased to two years/40,000km.
