The chassis can be with a dumper or side platform, with a double cab and a different wheelbase: 3000, 3550 and 4025 millimeters. In the manufacture of the car, the most advantageous construction for this weight category is used: the supporting body, the front longitudinal engine and the rear-wheel drive. Due to his high qualities and characteristics, Sprinter Mercedes was two years in a row "minivan of the year".
In the form of a closed van, the carhas a useful volume of 7 cu. meters in the smallest version up to 13.40 cubic meters. meters when executed with a long base and a high roof.
