In many ways, the Mercedes Sprinter has come to define the large van sector. It's by far the best-selling LCV across Europe, tracing its lineage back to 1995, with a second generation design appearing in 2006 and this third generation model being launched in the Spring of 2018. This time round, the availability of front-wheel-drive has extended the available options. Plus Mercedes introduced a range of fresh connectivity choices that business buyers will like, as well as improvements to safety and running cost efficiency. In 2020, an all-electric version, the eSprinter, arrived with a front-driven powertrain energised by a 55kWh battery. In late 2023, the eSprinter was completely re-engineered, switching to rear wheel drive and being made available with gutsier motor and a range of three longer-ranging batteries.
Despite its European success, this Sprinter still isn't one of the first vans that many British business think of when their looking for a really large LCV. Yet on this evidence, perhaps its should be. It's as big and practical as any of its rivals, with a refined powertrain. The availability of front wheel drive has enabled Mercedes to access a wider band of buyers too. And the re-engineered eSprinter sets a new standard if you're looking for an EV in this segment. Whatever the Sprinter variant you have in mind, yes of course you'll find cheaper rivals. Some of them feel a little more avant garde too and have cleverer cabs. But when it comes to the things that actually matter when it comes to running a vehicle of this kind, the Sprinter ticks most of the important boxes with the kind of thoroughness that you'd expect from something bearing the famous Three Pointed Star on its grille. All of which means that whatever your business, this could be your righthand van. Some things just don't change.
