Room for Every Job

The dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter earmark it as one of the largest and most generously sized large vans in the sector, offering up to 15.5 cubic metres of cargo space in its largest guise.

As well as the standard Panel Van, the Sprinter is offered as a Luton Van, Crew Cab, Chassis Cab, Chassis Crew Cab, Dropside (Single/Double) and Tipper (Single/Double Cab).

Extended Size, Extended Capability

The entry point in the Sprinter range is the L2 H2, measures just under six-metres (5932mm) in length, rising to 6967mm (L3/H2) and 7367mm (L4/H2), making it longer than the equivalent Ford Transit and Volkswagen Crafter.

This translates to the Sprinter enjoying one of the largest load volumes in the class with the L2/H2 measuring 10.5 cubic metres for cargo space, the L3/H2 offering 14.0 cubic metres and the biggest L4/H2 providing 15.5 cubic metres.

Notably, the L3 and L4 lengths offer the same wheelbase of 4325mm. This is because the extended length of the L4 is found behind the rear-axle.
