The 2018 model Sprinter has been reengineered, improved and enhanced for commercial vehicle users.
There’s the introduction of front-wheel drive models for the first time. And the opportunity to drive a Sprinter with the 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission.
The Sprinter Range
The core of the model range stays. There are:
- three wheelbases,
- four vehicle lengths,
- three roof heights,
- chassis, chassis crewcab, Tourers, and an all-new Tractor Head chassis specifically designed for motorhomes.
Four-cylinder and V6 turbocharged commonrail diesel engines remain available alongside 7G-TRONIC PLUS (for RWD models) and 9G-TRONIC automatic transmissions (for FWD models).
Stay in touch
The new Sprinter features advanced connectivity. Mercedes PRO connect will launch in June 2018 with the arrival of the first new Sprinter models. 18 Services will be available at launch. The Communication Module, offered as standard, has an in-built LTE SIM-card which offers rapid data transmission between vans, drivers and vehicle managers.
Technical highlights include Eco Monitoring – which allows real time fuel consumption data to be reviewed. Theft Management monitors the alarm and pre-defined geofences to warn against possible thefts. Real time and historic location coordinates can be reviewed and several service and maintenance parameters can be monitored to prevent downtime.
Sprinter’s functional interior also gets MBUX
Get the MBUX
Also new for Sprinter is MBUX – that’s Mercedes-Benz User Experience, which was first seen on the Mercedes A-class passenger car.
There’s a 7-inch touch screen, steering wheel touch pads, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB-in, Media Interface and DAB digital radio for the first time in a Sprinter.
An MBUX head unit with a 10.2-inch touch screen is also available. All MBUX headunits are available with an optional integrated Navigation System with Live Traffic and a range of Mercedes PRO Headunit functions.
Improved safety
The new Sprinter has Active Brake Assist – the van can brake autonomously to help prevent rear-end collisions and collisions with pedestrians.
Like the Vito, the new Sprinter will also be fitted with ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness detection, to prevent fatigue. It encourages drivers to take a break when they get tired.
The Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call system can summon rescue services in the event of an accident whilst Rear Cross Traffic and Exit Alert monitors the rear of the vehicle, and can autonomously brake in the event of an impending collision. In the event of an accident, Sprinter automatically applies its brakes to prevent secondary collisions.
Mercedes Sprinter features new LED running lights
Sprinter design
The face of the new Sprinter is enhanced by the addition of optional LED lighting featuring Mercedes-Benz style ‘eagle wing’ design daytime-running lights.
The interior features a new modular dashboard design for maximum flexibility – whether that’s for storage, infotainment or wireless charging. The new Sprinter is also available with a host of optional driver assistance features: Distance Pilot DISTRONIC active cruise control is available for the first time in a Sprinter alongside Traffic Sign Assist and HOLD function. In the new Sprinter, even tight spaces become delivery bays with the optional Parking Package with 360° Camera and Park Assistant sensors.
The driver is further supported by optional Drive Away Assist, in the event of acceleration towards stationary objects (for example when exiting a parking bay) a warning appears and speed is limited to 3km/h to minimise damage.
Standard Sprinter spec
Standard specification for the New Sprinter has been upgraded over the outgoing model. It now includes a 7” touchscreen MBUX multimedia system with DAB radio, Active Brake Assist, Attention Assist, automatic headlights, Keyless Start, electrical power steering, an adjustable multi-function steering wheel with touch control buttons.
New Mercedes Sprinter range includes chassis cab, panel van and crew cab
New Sprinter naming policy
The new Sprinter will be easy to recognise in all data systems with the introduction by Mercedes of a new model naming policy.
Vehicle length will no longer be referred to as Short to Extra-Long, but will instead be known as L1 to L4; vehicle height will follow H1 to H3 and additionally the introduction of FWD, RWD and AWD will all appear in the description.
For example, current Sprinter would be known as Sprinter 314CDI panel van medium, and New Sprinter will be referred to as Sprinter 314CDI panel van L2H2 RWD.
Orders for new Sprinter opened at the beginning of March. There are over 600 items of optional equipment, should you wish to tailor your Sprinter, including special fleet and suspension solutions.
