SPRINTER
Innovations
Ever since we put the first van on the road in 1896, we've been constantly reinventing it with industry-leading innovations designed to improve efficiency, functionality, safety, and comfort. These are just a few of the leading innovations that go into our work vans.
Efficiency
Powertrain
With the most advanced powertrain available and extended maintenance intervals, nothing works more efficiently than a Mercedes-Benz. The Sprinter offers both a 9G-TRONIC 9-speed transmission gas engine and a 7G-TRONIC Plus 7-speed automatic transmission diesel engine, while the Metris is equipped with a Turbocharged Direct Injection gasoline engine, proving Mercedes-Benz vans are truly built for you.
Maintenance Intervals
Whether it’s the full-size Sprinter, or the right-size Metris, every van we make has impressively-high maintenance intervals of up to 2 years or 30,000 km for the Sprinter diesel engine and up to 1 year or 25,000 km for the gasoline engine. The Metris also has an impressive service interval of up to 25,000 km, to keep you on the road, raising productivity and lowering the total cost of ownership.
Driver is responsible for monitoring fluid levels and tire pressure between service visits. See Maintenance Booklet for details.
Safety
Crosswind Assist22
Crosswind Assist22 helps stabilize your van and boosts safety in strong, gusting crosswinds. This standard feature helps ensure that your vehicle remains in its lane at highway speeds.
Load-Adaptive Electronic Stability Program (ESP®)4
ESP®4 actively intervenes to help keep the van firmly under control and safe by automatically braking individual wheels and reducing engine power to help stabilize the vehicle if wheelspin, understeer, or oversteer is detected.
Highbeam AssistSM
Highbeam AssistSM adjusts the high and low-beam headlamps automatically, allowing for continuous adaptation to the prevailing traffic situation. The system helps ensure better and earlier recognition of the course of the road.
Blind Spot Assist20
Blind Spot Assist20 now has Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA),24 which employs automatic braking to avoid a collision with traffic crossing the vehicle’s path (e.g., vehicles or pedestrians) when reversing.
ATTENTION ASSIST®23
ATTENTION ASSIST®23 helps prevent drowsy driving by monitoring your driving patterns and providing an early warning in case fatigue is detected.
Active Lane Keeping Assist19
Active Lane Keeping Assist19 can provide you with visual and audible warnings if your van leaves its lane unintentionally. A camera in the windshield monitors the road ahead and helps detect when you may have veered away from lane markings.
Active Brake Assist25
Active Brake Assist25 senses the likelihood of a collision with a vehicle ahead and sends both a visual and audible warning followed by initiating autonomous braking.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®26
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®26 senses traffic conditions and actively controls your speed to keep you at a safe distance.
360° Camera27
When the Reverse gear is selected, the 360° Camera27 uses four digital cameras to generate various views of the vehicle’s surroundings and show them in real time on the multimedia display.
Traffic Sign Assist
Traffic Sign Assist uses a camera to give drivers additional help with identifying speed restriction signs, No Passing Zones, and No Entry signs.
Functionality
Best-In-Class1 Payload Capacity
Thanks to its sturdy unibody design, and all-steel frame the Sprinter delivers a Best-In-Class1 Payload Capacity of up to 2,898 kg (6,390 lbs). And with up to 1,135 kg (2,502 lbs) of capacity, the Metris allows you to carry more than any compact work van in Canada.
Best-In-Class1 Cargo Capacity
The Sprinter fits your business perfectly by providing the highest cargo capacity in its class, giving you up to 15 m3 (530 cu ft) to haul whatever the job demands. And with up to 5.64 m3 (199.2 cu ft) of cargo volume, no compact work van in Canada has more space than the Metris.
MBUX Telematics System
With its innovative MBUX (MERCEDES-BENZ USER EXPERIENCE) that delivers content from navigation to entertainment and includes optional “Hey Mercedes” voice control and its smartphone integration for Apple CarPlay® and AndroidTM Auto28 with Bluetooth®29 capability, the Sprinter is more than a van — it’s a mobile workspace.
Rear Doors
The rear doors feature new hinges with self-locking mechanisms.
4ETS (Electronic Traction System)
The Sprinter 4x4 features an advanced, electronically engaged 4-wheel drive system that eliminates mechanical 4x4 differential locks and provides increased traction, enhanced directional stability, and road adhesion.
Towing Capacity5
Sometimes the job calls for even more space or equipment. And the Sprinter lets you answer that call with an impressive towing capacity of up to 3,402 kg (7,500 lbs). While the Metris’ towing capacity of up to 2,268 kg (5,000 lbs) allows you to tow more than some small pickups.
Comfort
Charging Options
Charging options are strategically located on the dashboard and include USB-C ports, wireless, and 12V chargers.
Interior Height2
An impressive interior standing height of up to 191.8 cm (6'3") provides greater passenger comfort with plenty of room to move.
Touchscreens
For the first time, display screens that are activated via touch, voice control, or touch buttons on the steering wheel are available on the Sprinter.
LED Performance Headlights
Look better, see better. Optional LED performance headlights give your van a contemporary look, and maximize the view of the road ahead.
Electrically Adjustable Driver’s Seat
All adjustments can be made electrically using the switches on the control unit located on the driver’s door. The integrated memory function on the driver’s side can save up to three different seat adjustment settings. When switching drivers, the required seat adjustments can quickly be made with the push of a button making it convenient for frequent driver changes. The electrically adjustable seat comes standard with lumbar support.
