Caravan Salon Düsseldorf 2024: The New Mercedes-Benz Sprinter in the Motorhome Market

For nearly three decades, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has set the standard in the motorhome industry, winning over both manufacturers and end-users with its versatile and reliable design. With each new generation, the Sprinter evolves to meet the changing needs of the motorhome market, and the latest model is no exception. Debuting at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf from 31 August to 8 September 2024, the new Sprinter continues to impress with its expanded intelligent technology, enhanced safety features, and a broad range of body, engine, and drive variants that cater to diverse motorhome applications.

The New Sprinter: A Versatile Choice for the Motorhome Industry

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has long been celebrated for its versatility, offering multiple body variants that can be adapted for different motorhome configurations. The new Sprinter retains this flexibility with options including panel vans, chassis, and traction head variants, each designed to meet the unique needs of motorhome manufacturers.

  • Panel Van: Ideal for high-end camper vans, providing ample space and comfort.
  • Chassis: Perfect for converting into alcove, semi-integrated, or fully integrated motorhomes, offering extensive customization options.
  • Traction Head: This variant gives manufacturers the freedom to design the living area independently, as key components like the engine and fuel tank are positioned in the cab area, allowing flexible installation of the frame and rear axle.

Power and Performance: Engine Options for the New Sprinter

The new Sprinter continues to offer a variety of engine options, maintaining its reputation for powerful performance and efficiency. The OM 654 four-cylinder diesel engine is available in four output levels—84 kW, 110 kW, 125 kW, and 140 kW—ensuring a suitable option for every need. Additionally, the Sprinter is available with front-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drive, with a permissible gross vehicle weight (GVW) of up to 5.5 tonnes. The all-wheel drive version is particularly beneficial for those looking to explore off-road paths, providing variable torque distribution between the front and rear axles for optimal traction and handling.

Enhanced Safety and Comfort with Advanced Technology

The latest Sprinter takes safety and comfort to the next level with an array of advanced safety and assistance systems. New features include:

  • Active Brake Assist: Now with a crossing function to help avoid collisions.
  • Moving-off Information Assist: Helps prevent accidents when pulling away.
  • Sideguard Assist: Detects other road users within a specific zone on the passenger side.

Additional standard safety features include Active Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Assist, ATTENTION ASSIST, Intelligent Speed Assist, and a reversing camera, depending on the chassis variant.

Inside, the Sprinter boasts a new high-tech steering wheel with capacitive hands-off detection and the updated MBUX multimedia system. This system, standard in the new model, features a 10.25-inch touchscreen, improved menu navigation, faster computing power, and advanced voice command capabilities that no longer require the activation phrase "Hey Mercedes." Wireless connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as over-the-air updates, further enhance the user experience.

Innovative Features Tailored for Motorhome Use

The new Sprinter includes several digital extras specifically designed for motorhome use. Features like navigation for trailers and oversized vehicles help avoid restricted routes, while the "Hibernation Mode" conserves battery life when the motorhome is parked for extended periods. These features are easily accessible via the MBUX system, making the Sprinter an excellent choice for motorhome enthusiasts.
