Mercedes-Benz Sprinter – van and chassis cab as a truck up to 5 tonnes: four- and six-cylinder diesel engines from 2.1 to 3.0 litres, 90 to 150 kW
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the van range from which chassis-cab versions for bodies in the payload class up to 5 tonnes permissible gross weight are also derived; the register lists versions with four- and six-cylinder diesel engines here. The four-cylinders cover the smaller displacement range around 2.1 litres, while the six-cylinder of around 3.0 litres powers the more powerful versions.

The register lists 5 versions with 90 to 150 kW from four- and six-cylinder engines of 2,143 to 2,987 cm³. Kerb weights range from 2,250 to 3,800 kg, permissible gross weights from 3,550 to 5,000 kg. Lengths span 5,910 to 7,040 mm, widths 1,930 to 2,220 mm.
In the weight class up to 5 tonnes, the Sprinter serves as a chassis for box bodies, platforms and special bodies in trades, courier and distribution transport, and among motorhome builders, where it competes with the Ford Transit and Iveco Daily. The Sprinter is also built at several plants worldwide and serves in many countries as a base for ambulance and mobile workshop conversions.
When buying a used example, check the mileage and service history of the diesel engine, the condition of the turbocharger and exhaust after-treatment system and, on chassis-cab versions, corrosion on the frame and body. Spare parts for the drivetrain and chassis are widely available through the Mercedes-Benz Vans dealer network.
