Business Vans review the new Mercedes Sprinter van

The first UK Euro 6 compliant van due to launch later this year, the new Mercedes Sprinter, has been reviewed on Business Vans website recently. The website for van users ranging from small businesses, trades, and SME fleet van operators gave a thorough assessment of the new Sprinter. The final verdict was a phenomenal thumbs up from Business Vans.

The review carefully notes the details of all of the new systems, changes, and upgrades, both cosmetically and internally, with some having never before been seen on a van. One of the biggest questions surrounding the inclusion of the new Euro 6 engine is whether or not it is negatively going to impacted fuel economy. Although, the review doesn’t answer this question directly, it provides a brief explanation of how other factors/changes could potentially negatively offset the proposed fuel savings.

The new Sprinter model will continue to be powered by 2.2 and 3.0-litre diesel engines with power outputs ranging from 95hp to 190hp. It will come with safety systems such as Crosswind Assist, a standard fit on all versions, plus a host of optional features: Collision prevention Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Highbeam Assist and Lane Keeping Assist.

As for the innovative new safety systems mentioned above, the reviewer seemed to applaud some, but not all. The Crosswind Assist and Lane Keeping Assist were their least favourite safety features. This particular van test evaluated what the reviewer felt was “Hot” and “Not” about the new Mercedes Sprinter van, due for a September time launch.
