New 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter<\/p><\/div>\n

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the latest generation of its popular Sprinter van. As promised<\/a>, the new model offers a wide range of telematics and safety systems then ever before.<\/p>\n

The new model also offers an incredibly wide range of configuration options — no fewer than 1,700 different versions can be specified, including panel van, minibus, pickup, chassis cab, bus or traction head only.<\/p>\n

The company is making a bold move to maintain its position as the van of choice in the logistics and supermarket sectors, but also targeting a greater presence in the motorhome sector, currently dominated by the Fiat Ducato.<\/p>\n

To this end, Mercedes will be introducing its first ever front-wheel drive Sprinter models. Rest assured, however, as the standard rear-wheel drive and popular all-wheel drive variants will still be available. As before, most models will be 3.5t, but weights up to 5.5t will also be available.<\/p>\n

Technical details are fairly limited so far, but we do know that an all-electric model will follow in 2019. In the meantime, here’s a picture showing the inside of the new van:<\/p>\n
