The New 2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

With the new Sprinter 2011 model, this is really going to be a van that is not changed a lot which is a little disappointing in fact since everyone did believe that there were to be a few changes in the near future but those will have to wait for the moment.  Though there were some changes to this car that actually created a bit impact on the Sprinter so that is something even if they were few.

This new Sprinter is going to be created and designed there are going to be a lot more locations for this which is good, the Sprinter is now the property of Mercedes though this did belong to the Dodge company.  Now the Sprinter is not just going to be known as the Sprinter for very much longer, they are set to be officially known as the Freightliner Sprinters by Mercedes.  The cars are going to be sold at the Mercedes Benz Freightliner dealerships around the country so that is well worth looking out for.

Now the Sprinters are being created in South Carolina and are set to be one of the best cars available on the market today.  This is really going to look something like a transport van or even a commercial van but it will come with some great new models with new options.  The wheel bases are going to be new sporty along with the actual sizes of the van being available with more than just one option.  There will also be a choice over the sizes of the roof also, and some of the configurations over the seating of the Sprinters will also be different also.

Most of these Sprinters are going to be able to house almost twelve passengers in these vans however which is great especially for those that want to find extra space in the van as well as ample seating capacity also.

Te body style is only going to be the van style which is what these Sprinters are effectively anyway but there is still only one option for the engine choice; there will only be the V-6 3.0 liter engine that works with the five speed automatic transmission.  There is only one model option also with the 2500 model.

The new 2011 model of the Sprinter will have the three Point Mercedes-Benz stars to the grille on the front of the van.  With this new 2500 model there is going to have a new instrument cluster which has been given a new style to it however but other than that, everything else is really going to stay the same however.  The transmissions now have the option with the turbo diesel transmission which is going to be a lot smoother than before bringing a new feel to the driving experience.  With the Minibus model this is going to be able to hold almost sixteen passengers in this vehicle.

The exterior of the van this is not really going to resemble just another van, this is not going to be a massive block in the middle of the road that is such an eyesore, no this has a more elegant feel to the car even though it is a van.  It might sound strange but the Sprinters do feel a lot like that; there are even the even high roof so that this van looks quite differently from other vans out there.

There will be the same interior look to the van than many other vans out there, though this is going to have almost one hundred and eighty seven point two cubic feet of space available with this Sprinter.  There will be seventy six point four inches of actual standing up space which many people would never think about when it comes to a van.

There is now the one hundred and eighty eight of horsepower with this Sprinter and even though this van is not going to rival the other vans out there but the torque is impressive with almost three hundred and twenty five.  The driver and passenger can find that the journey is very comfortable indeed; even the steering on this car is good enough.

For the safety features there are going to be some standard features such as the dual front airbags; there are options over the type of window mounted and dual side airbags.  When it comes to the other safety features then there are going to be the brake assist with the ESP which will be adaptive however.  There will be the ABS and electronic brake force distribution system also; there will also be the good skid controls also.  There is still the rollover mitigation control also.

When it comes to knowing the EPA fuel economy ratings then they have not actually been tested as yet so there are no ratings unfortunately.
