- Mercedes-Benz looks to mark the current state of the art in full-sized vans with its third generation Sprinter range. Jonathan Crouch reports
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has long been the byword for excellence and performance in the full-sized van sector. The MK3 model range builds on efficiency and safety in significant ways, adds some style inside and out but remains focused on sheer practicality.
In many ways, the Mercedes Sprinter has come to define the large van sector. It's by far the best-selling LCV across Europe, tracing its lineage back to 1995, with a second generation design appearing in 2006 and this third generation model being launched in the Spring of 2018. This time round, the availability of front-wheel-drive extends the available options. Plus there's a range of fresh connectivity choices that business buyers will like, as well as improvements to safety and running cost efficiency.

Excellent review - the only thing missing really was the security issue. All these infotainment upgrades and electronic gadgets are of little use if the contents of the van can be easily stolen. Like the rest of the commercial vehicle sector, scant attention is given to the physical security of the vehicle. Quality of the mechanical locking systems, their placement and resistance to being compromised are not given the importance they warrant. Ask any operator or tradesman - it's at the top of the list. On top of the cost of a new van budget at least £400 -500 for lock upgrades - it's money well spent.
Your title says 2018 but actually it’s 2019+
The opening hatch in the bulkhead you refer to is only really a requirement on smaller vans that need to carry building materials that are 3 metres in length like CLS timber or copper pipes. Medium and long wheelbase Sprinter vans therefore don’t need it.
There’s 4 generations of sprinter!!!
This is the BEST review yet! Will you be updating it on the newer duel wheel Sprinters 3500XD? THANK YOU! ☺
Thanks
My 60k c63 had some on that switch gear FFS lol
Mercedes know what they're doing when it's comes to making vehicles that drives and looks better than most cars
I just bought a nearly identical one. It is an awesome van to say the least. Crafter is nice but that 3 spoke star in the front and back ;).
Great choice, its that popular for good reason. hope you enjoy the new van Huseyin.
Also on a side note. Thanks for such a comprehensive review/cover, it was thanks to watching your video that I made such a decison. Best review on you tube for this vehicle. For refrence I bought it from East London Mercedes benz van centre.
That three spoke star will be on the back until the doors rust off it at least 😂
let's see how you feel when you get your first repair bill!
@@bid84 I think that they put better rust protection now
what are they like after 3 or 4 years of doing 100k pa if you can stop them being stolen
An excellent review.
Great to hear you enjoyed the review, Tom! Many thanks for watching 👍
That Guy’s middle name is Sprinter

Does this van have an electronic handbrake?
Hi Tom, the Sprinter has an optional E parking brake for £324.00. Get in touch if you need more information www.osv.ltd.uk/contact-us/
no, you open your door and drag your foot on the ground to stop
K

and probably changed his underwear
Nobody cares about what he wears we here to look at the van and listen to his review not judge his shoes and underpants!
