About this vehicle
The full story on the Mercedes Sprinter (Older Generation)
Hold on a Sprinter without paying current-generation prices. Our older-generation Mercedes Sprinters give you the same legendary high-roof, turbo-diesel build at a meaningfully lower daily rate — making them the smart choice for groups that care about comfort and Sprinter dependability but want to keep the budget in check.
These are well-kept previous-generation Sprinters with the same stand-up cabin, the same Mercedes diesel drivetrain, and the same usable rear trunk space as the newer models. The trim is slightly more utilitarian — typically bench seating instead of premium leather, and a simpler dashboard — but the core driving and group experience is the same.
If you've been comparing a Ford Transit High Roof to a brand-new Sprinter and the price gap felt too wide, this is the in-between option.
What makes it stand out
- Mercedes-Benz turbo-diesel — same engine family as our newer Sprinters
- High-roof stand-up cabin — full walking room inside
- Practical rear trunk space for luggage and gear
- Dual climate control front and rear
- Backup camera and basic driver-assist features
- Lower daily rate than the current-generation Sprinter
- Reliable for high-mileage and long-distance trips
Driving
Powered by Mercedes' proven turbo-diesel, these older Sprinters drive with the same composed highway feel, long-distance refinement, and effortless torque the newer model is known for. Slightly older infotainment and trim, identical mechanical confidence.
Interior & comfort
Bench seating across every row with full-size headrests and 3-point belts, rear climate vents, and the same stand-up high-roof cabin. The cabin is a bit more utilitarian than the newer Sprinter — fewer USB ports, a simpler dashboard — but the seating, legroom, and headroom are nearly identical.
Cargo & luggage
Behind the last row you get usable rear trunk space — roughly 55 to 90 cu ft depending on the 12 or 15-passenger configuration. Comfortable for a full set of carry-ons or a mix of larger suitcases.
Best for
- Groups that want Sprinter comfort at a lower price
- Church groups, sports teams, and family reunions
- Long-distance road trips where diesel efficiency matters
- Airport pickups for mid-size groups with normal luggage
Things to know
Newer infotainment, premium leather, and the latest driver-assist features are only in our current-generation Mercedes Sprinter. If those matter, step up to that model.
