Future Mercedes Sprinter Van preview.
Last Updated:
Mercedes just found a new idea to preview their future model: a sculpture. In the case of the future Sprinter van, an unfinished sculpture.
The Mercedes commercial van is being totally redesigned, and it will probably include a bit more of that new “Mercedes personality’ that is currently invading the new models. Fortunately, it seems Mercedes has not decided to make the grille larger. At least from what we can see on the sculpture.
Here is some of the official Mercedes description: “expressive sculpture gives first glimpse of shape and design of future Sprinter“. Or ” The 650‑centimetre-long, 275‑centimetre-high and 250‑centimetre-wide sculpture combines art and craftsmanship in a fascinating way and offers a preview of the next generation of the Sprinter. Milled from a solid piece of material, the first outlines and design details of the future Sprinter begin to emerge. They give an idea of the upcoming unique exterior design, which is geared towards the diverse needs and requirements of commercial customers. Furthermore, the sculpture conveys an impression of the dimensions of the future Mercedes‑Benz van.”
Mercedes also mentioned that starting next year, fully electric versions of the new van will be introduced to private customers. With electric commercial transporters following later.
The Sprinter is currently offered in the US as a Cargo Van, Crew Van, passenger van, or Passenger Van in select trims. Starting at $50,800. And about $7000 more for the passenger van. The electric eSprinter Cargo Van starts at $61,000.
