Why it stands out

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter stands out because it blends commercial-van utility with an unusually refined, highly configurable character. It was part of the third-generation redesign, which brought a modern exterior while keeping the tall, boxy shape that made the Sprinter recognizable. For buyers who need a van that can serve as a cargo hauler, passenger shuttle, or custom-build foundation, its appeal lies in how adaptable it is and how much attention Mercedes paid to making it feel more polished than many rivals.

For 2020, Mercedes expanded the Sprinter’s available driver-assistance technology with rear cross-traffic alert, active lane-keep assist, active cruise control with distance assist, automatic emergency braking, trailer stability assist, and a revised crosswind assist system. That same model year also added a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine producing 166 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque, paired with the same seven-speed automatic found in the six-cylinder. The cabin also benefited from Mercedes’ MBUX infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a broad set of connectivity features including USB-C ports, 12V DC outlets, 115V AC outlets, and wireless charging.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is also notable for its sheer versatility. Cargo versions offered up to 524 cubic feet of space, while passenger variants could seat 12 on the standard wheelbase or up to 15 in long-wheelbase form. Mercedes claimed up to 1,700 different combinations of body style, body length, cab design, payload rating, load-compartment height, and drivetrain layout, which helps explain why the Sprinter has long been a favorite for specialized commercial use and camper conversions. Its main tradeoffs are complexity and cost: the expanded electronics add sophistication, but they also contribute to the mixed early reliability picture, and the diesel emissions system can be expensive to maintain.
