drive,6spdmanual,5spd automate GVWs: 2,850-5,000kg Wheelbases: 3,2504,325mm Bodies: three wheelbases, three roof heights Load volumes: 75-17.0ml MODELS TESTED/PUBLISHED: 616 16 January 2003 311 CDi 10 April 2003 The development of the Sprinter and VW Grafter come from a joint-venture project, although there are a number of differences in the two products, particularly the engines on offer. Power options in the Merc range from a small 90hp 2.5-litre diesel through to a 3.5-litre petrol producing an extreme 258hp. For styling Mercedes opts for smooth lines and passive appearance.
The Sprinter was one of our favourites for Van of the Year 2007. The interior appointment, though let down by the tacky plastic on the top of the dash, is second to none with superb storage options, excellent layout of the instrument panel and good seating. Ride and handling have been greatly improved in the new model The engines display the attributes necessary for a f leet machine— good flexibility at low revs and adequate acceleration.
Body options are impressively extensive with the Sprinter.
