Mercedes-Benz Mercedes Sprinter 2006-2018 Specifications

The 2006-2018 Mercedes Sprinter offers a range of diesel engines, including the OM651 (4-cylinder) and OM642 (V6), with power outputs ranging from 136 to 188 horsepower. The OM651 is more fuel-efficient and lighter, while the OM642 provides higher torque and better towing capacity. Both engines are paired with advanced turbocharging and common rail injection systems for optimal performance.

The Sprinter offers both manual and automatic transmissions. The manual is a 6-speed gearbox, while the automatic is a 5-speed or 7-speed G-TRONIC, providing smooth shifts and improved fuel efficiency. The 7-speed option is available in later models and features adaptive shift logic for enhanced driving dynamics.

Standard safety features include ABS, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), and ASR (Acceleration Skid Control). Optional features include Adaptive ESP, Crosswind Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Attention Assist. The Sprinter also features a high-strength steel body and multiple airbags for occupant protection.

The Sprinter's diesel engines offer competitive fuel economy, with the OM651 achieving up to 24 mpg combined. This is comparable to or better than competitors like the Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster, especially in highway driving conditions.

Mercedes recommends oil changes every 10,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Other maintenance tasks, such as air filter replacement and brake inspections, should be performed every 20,000 miles. Regular checks of fluid levels and tire pressure are also advised.

The Sprinter offers a range of features, including a dual-sliding rear door, power windows, heated mirrors, and a touchscreen infotainment system. Optional upgrades include a rearview camera, navigation system, and premium audio. The interior is customizable with various seating configurations and cargo management systems.

The Sprinter offers up to 530 cubic feet of cargo space in the cargo van configuration, which is larger than many competitors. Passenger versions can seat up to 12 people, with ample legroom and headroom. The high-roof option provides additional vertical space for cargo or passengers.

The Sprinter has a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 lbs when properly equipped. Payload capacity varies by model, with the cargo van offering up to 5,400 lbs. These capacities make the Sprinter suitable for a wide range of commercial and recreational applications.
