Are Sprinter Vans Worth The Money?

When it comes to value for the long haul, look no further than Sprinter Vans. From lower fuel and maintenance costs to excellent resale value, Sprinter Vans are among the best in the industry - and worth the sticker price. 


The Sprinter Cargo Van surpasses its competition in key categories, ensuring its place as the industry's segment volume leader. Additionally, the Sprinter is loaded with safety features, has a reputation for reliability, and is manufactured by one of the most experienced and competent automotive companies.


Here are some of the key features:

Powertrain & Performance

  • 188-horsepower engine that outputs up to 325 lb-ft of torque

  • Standard rear-wheel drive with an all-wheel-drive option

  • 7-speed automatic transmission ( turbo-diesel V6 engine)

  • 9-speed automatic transmission (4-cylinder gas engine)

Convenience Features

Safety

  • Back-Up Camera. It makes street parking easier and safer. 

  • Optional Blind Spot Assist. Triggers visual alerts in the side view mirror if it detects another vehicle that'll prevent you from making a safe lane change.


Sprinter Vans also boast a highly competitive Total Cost of Operation (TOC), despite a slightly higher ($100) purchase price.
