Sold in the US under no less than three different badges since back in 2001, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter received a mid-cycle refresh for its second generation in 2013, bringing a number of never-before-seen features in its segment.
Originally, it was the only van sold in America that offered a selection of multiple roof and wheelbase sizes, being the most spacious and economical work vehicle in the land of the free.
Now that the bean counters from Daimler are only offering it with a Mercedes-Benz badge, the interior comfort and amenities have improved as well, with the facelifted sprinter now offering two diesel engines instead of one.
The small 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel is twin-turbocharged, which makes for just a tiny drop in power and torque compared with the bigger three-liter V6, while the fuel economy is on par with a compact car.
The folks from Auto Guide took a four-cylinder Sprinter Van to the test and came out with a rather interesting review about their experience, so you might want to check it out if you are interested in how the most basic Sprinter handles its payload, figuratively.
