2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-Class 2500

The Sprinter-Class is Mercedes-Benz's full-size van line, covering cargo, crew, and passenger duties with a choice of wheelbases and roof heights. It competes head-on with the Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster, though the Sprinter brings a more premium feel and a higher price. The Sprinter drives with surprising composure for a large van, with responsive steering and a stable highway feel. The cabin is practical and durable, with a tall seating position, excellent visibility, and a wide range of cargo and passenger configurations. A large touchscreen with the MBUX interface, along with standard driver-assistance features, keeps the Sprinter modern and connected. The 2500 splits the difference between the base 2500 and the heavier-duty 3500, so you give up some payload capacity but keep a lower price. Its 2.0L I4 makes 211 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, routed through a nine-speed automatic to all-wheel drive, which gives you confident traction on slippery surfaces. With two seats and a cargo van body, this 2500 is built for hauling gear, not people, and the all-wheel drive is the main reason to pick it over a rear-drive model.
