Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Vans vs. The Competition

Selecting the ideal commercial van for your needs seems intimidating, given the many options available. However, one option stands head and shoulders above the rest. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Vans combine unique utility with a decades-long heritage of performance and luxury. Keyes European illustrates why they are widely regarded as one of the top choices in the market.

Capacity, Towing, and Hauling

Our Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Vans have long wheelbases and multiple roof heights, leading to excellent payload capacity. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has a 144-inch wheelbase, and the heavier-duty Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4500 offers 170 inches. As a result, maximum Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van cargo capacity is 532.6 cubic feet, versus 524 for the RAM ProMaster, 487.3 for the Ford Transit, and the GMC Savana bringing up the rear with 284.4 cubic feet.

Towing and hauling numbers tell a similar story. When properly equipped, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van tows up to 7,500 pounds and hauls up to 6,812 pounds. As for its competitors:

  • Ford Transit: 6,000 lbs towing, 5,114 lbs hauling
  • RAM ProMaster: 6,910 lbs towing, 4,681 lbs hauling
  • GMC Savana: 7,400 lbs towing, 4,334 lbs hauling

Luxury and Customer Perception

This is somewhat harder to quantify, but it’s also hard to argue with. While our competitors may offer capable vehicles and similar 12- or 15-passenger configurations, none can match the cachet of the Mercedes-Benz brand. When your business’s reputation and USP are on the line daily, our brand’s value can boost your brand’s recognition and set you apart from your competitors.

Mercedes me connect™

Most companies that build vehicles for business offer telematics solutions, but nothing like Mercedes me connect™. This suite supports up to eight devices, providing drivers with email, project updates, contract signing, traffic, weather, and Car-to-X communication in real-time. Furthermore, it issues service alerts, supports telediagnostics and emergency call services, and works hard to prevent downtime that can sap your business’s profits.

Endless Customization Choices

Occasionally, popularity has its own benefits. Because Mercedes-Benz Sprinter models are an effective blank slate for customization, they’re exceptionally popular with upfitters. This also ensures a broader selection of accessories, body configurations, and hardware for practically any purpose, from work to van life.
