2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Passenger Van Review: Opulent Transporter

by Aiden Eksteen

Producing premium high-end cars for the upper-class market is a Mercedes-Benz speciality, but the automaker saw an opportunity to make even more bank from these elites by offering a utility van they could use within their businesses or large corporations. Now in its third-generational phase, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Passenger Van is a travel and tourism industry staple and is often put to work in many other prosperous industries, too. Propelled by either a 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine (gas or diesel) or 3.0-liter turbo diesel V6, the Sprinter Passenger Van makes use of between 161 and 188 horsepower to cruise to its destinations. Multiple powertrain, seating, and body length configurations make it an incredibly versatile transport, too. At a starting price of $43,120, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Passenger Van is a pricey option over alternatives such as the Ford Transit or Ram ProMaster, but neither of those can match the Sprinter's premium aesthetic and upmarket feel.

Verdict: Is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Passenger Van A Good car?

The Sprinter Passenger Van is not just any run-of-the-mill passenger vehicle; it's a first-rate cruiser and full lounge suite on wheels. Its premium-feel is what separates it from the competition in the USA - the biggest opposition being the Ford Transit, which still manages to compare admirably. Propping the Sprinter van up even more, however, is the phenomenal performance from the available diesel-fuel-powered V6, which is peppy off-the-line, smooth, and efficient. As with most vans, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter hasn't undergone review for its crashworthiness, but its makers penchant for reliability and its lengthy consignment of inclusive and optional driver assists and safety features would likely earn it a top safety rating.

Furthermore, while 3-door vans are typically offered only in front-wheel drive, the Sprinter is equipped with a rear-wheel drive setup and has access to an exclusive 4x4 one. The Sprinter can feel quite unwieldy on the road and the rearmost passengers may have to grip the seats every now and again, but it remains one of the most luxurious and capable passenger vans money can buy.

What Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Passenger Van Model Should I Buy?

The choice is ultimately yours here, and it will all depend on what you'll need the van for most regularly. The standard, short-wheelbase variants are ideal for transporting up to 12 passengers around at a time. The extended wheelbase models can accommodate up to 15. Equip a SWB variant with the V6 motor and optional 4x4 system, and you're ready for an off-road safari for 12. If there's one recommendation we can make here, it's to opt for the turbo-diesel V6 motor as it just proves to be one of the significant advantages of the 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
