The 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van has an updated exterior and interior design along with serious electronic upgrades. That includes an all-electric version, the eSprinter, which will have a front-wheel drive setup, but it will debut as an overseas-only vehicle for now. There will be front-drive versions available as well. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van debuted at the newly constructed Mercedes-Benz logistics center on the Mercator Island in Duisburg, De.

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van’s U.S. debut is TBA.

“The inland port in Duisburg stands for globalization and modern logistics at the highest level. It is therefore the perfect environment in which to present the new Sprinter. The Sprinter continues to embody the traditional attributes that have made it so successful worldwide since its market launch – flexibility, robustness and economy. At the same time it impresses with unrivaled modernity, for example with its connectivity and variability. This makes it the first end-to-end system solution for commercial fleets, both for Mercedes-Benz Vans and for the entire industry,” says Volker Mornhinweg, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans.
