Discover the Mercedes of vans

Professional success is the result of hard work and the right decisions. One of these is the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: an exceptionally practical and versatile van that sets totally new standards in key areas, while giving you everything you expect from a Mercedes-Benz in terms of safety, quality, and reliability. Whether it be the Cargo Van, Passenger Van, Cab Chassis or the MiniBus, the Sprinter offers you a custom-deigned solution for almost any transport task thanks to its model diversity, outstanding spaciousness, and extremely robust design.

• Best cargo volume in its class up to 15.5 m³ (547 cu ft)
• ADAPTIVE ESP® as standard
• High-quality interior styling
• as many as 3 body lengths and 2 roof heights

Whatever you transport, efficiency is already on board.

The Sprinter is a professional partner - not just in practical sense, but also in terms of economy and ecology. With a sophisticated V6 BlueTEC diesel engine which combines exceptionally low fuel consumption with high performance and exemplary environmental acceptability. With long maintenance intervals which, in combination with the high level of serviceability, ensure low running costs. And, last but not least, with legendary longevity. The result is an unrivalled price/benefit ratio - and a van like no other: you Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

2010 marks the year of the introduction of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter here in Canada. After a few efforts as Freight liner and Dodge, the Sprinter is finally getting launched in its original form as Mercedes-Benz. In most other parts of the world this family of Vans has been the clear market leader for more than 15 years. Now we can finally offer it here and back it up with the quality of a Mercedes-Benz sales and service department.

Sprinter is not just a mark of quality; it also represents an obligation to keep setting new standards. In terms of transport capacity, fuel economy, cost of ownership, payload, interior stand-in height and environmental operations as the only Blue Tec Diesel models in the market this has been achieved.

There are no meaningful criteria where the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter models don't represent the best in class in the North American market.

Mercedes-Benz Canada is pleased to share the results of a comprehensive study conducted by Vincentric, which revealed that the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter offers the lowest total cost of ownership in its class in Canada.

Mercedes-Benz Canada Press Release: 15 August 2011

The extensive research and calculations were based on an average driving distance of 25,000 kilometers per year for 5 years, and measured eight major costs associated with owning a vehicle including: depreciation, fees & taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs.

The study concluded that the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter offers a total cost of ownership that is 7.7% to 9.1% lower than its competitors. This translates into a savings of approximately $6,000 - $7,000 over a five year period. Key factors that contributed to these significant savings were the Sprinter's low fuel costs, which save buyers approximately $2,500 per year, as well as the vehicle's longer maintenance intervals, which will reduce service expenses compared to the competition.
