2026 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter review

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: the family hauler that doesn't feel like one. Illustrative review

8.2/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a strong contender in its class. Sliding doors and a flat floor make loading easy; smooth, quiet ride. All-wheel drive costs extra or isn't offered and not much fun to drive, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $55,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Solid, with a few quirks

Replaced an older Mercedes-Benz with this one. Big step up in sliding-door convenience; I'd like a little more driving fun.

★★★★☆Isaiah C. · Charlotte, NC · 20 months owned
Good, not perfect

The sliding-door convenience is the standout. My only gripe is the size in parking garages, which I knew going in.
