FactThis Sprinter made history in the lineup: it's the first generation to offer a front-wheel-drive van option, after decades of rear-wheel-drive Sprinters.
The third-generation Sprinter debuted on 6 February 2018 at the Mercedes-Benz logistics center in Duisburg and went on sale in June 2018. It is the first generation to include a front-wheel-drive van (designation 910, dropped in Europe in spring 2024) alongside the rear-drive W907, and it introduced a petrol model with the M274 turbo four, discontinued in 2024. Diesels are the 2.0-litre OM654 and, until 2022, the 2.1-litre OM651 and the 3.0-litre OM642 V6; power runs from 118 PS in the 11 Series to 191 PS in the 19 Series. The first Sprinter built at Ladson, South Carolina, from kits, came off the line in September 2018, and the Freightliner version ended after the 2021 model year. For 2023 the U.S. cars gained an all-time all-wheel-drive option in place of the selectable 4x4, with the OM654 replacing the previous diesels. The battery-electric eSprinter, on a unique front-wheel-drive chassis, began production at Düsseldorf in December 2019 and was replaced by the rear-motor eSprinter 2.0 in 2023.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 11 Series (118 PS) trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

Dodge and Freightliner Sprinters for North America were reassembled from kits shipped to Ladson, South Carolina.
The first Sprinter broke Mercedes naming convention entirely, the brand's first product ever sold under a name instead of a code.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
The IIHS rated the Astro Poor in a 1996 crash test, yet 2001–2004 Astros later had the lowest driver death rate of any US passenger vehicle.
The boxy, unglamorous Astro quietly posted one of the best real-world safety records in America: IIHS found 2001-2004 models had the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle on US roads.
The third-generation Tourneo Connect, released in Europe in October 2021, is a rebadged fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.
Ford beat the 25% "chicken tax" by importing the Transit Connect as a passenger van — rear windows and seats included, then stripped out and recycled once it landed in the US.
Ford spent years in federal court over the second-gen Transit Connect: in June 2019 the US won its appeal, and judges ruled the van was cargo-only — ending Ford's workaround for the 'chicken tax.'
GM sold a rebadged Nissan NV200 as the Chevy City Express for four years, then killed it in 2018, citing weak sales and the fact that its parts weren't even compatible with GM's own parts catalog.
Its name is a pun: "S-Cargo" means "Small Cargo" but sounds just like escargot — French for snail, the shape the whole van was built to resemble.
