The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Celebrates 30 Years of Success with Attractive Offers

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has been an iconic van for three decades, revolutionizing the light commercial vehicle segment since its launch in 1995. As the first Mercedes-Benz van to receive a distinct name, the Sprinter quickly became synonymous with quality, innovation, and versatility. To celebrate this milestone, Mercedes-Benz is offering a special anniversary edition along with an exclusive presentation at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart.

A Legacy of Excellence

Since its debut, the Sprinter has set new standards in performance, safety, and adaptability. Widely used across industries, from emergency services to logistics and construction, it has become the go-to choice for businesses worldwide. Seventy-five percent of all Sprinters sold are customized, reflecting its adaptability to various commercial applications. The van’s high repurchase rate attests to its enduring appeal.

Key Milestones in Sprinter History

1995: The Birth of an Icon

The original Sprinter was introduced in 1995, replacing the legendary T1/TN series. It was the first van in its class to combine a self-supporting body with high-traction rear-wheel drive, modern chassis engineering, and advanced safety features. Right from the start, the Sprinter offered disc brakes on all wheels, ABS, automatic brake differential, and optional airbags—unparalleled in its category at the time.

2006: Second Generation – Advancing Technology and Safety

The second generation, launched in 2006, introduced greater flexibility with multiple wheelbases, roof heights, and engine configurations. The introduction of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) in panel vans up to 3.5 tonnes marked another leap in safety.

2018: Third Generation – Connectivity and Electrification

In 2018, the third-generation Sprinter redefined the segment with advanced connectivity and infotainment. The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) system allowed voice-controlled commands and real-time fleet management. A year later, Mercedes-Benz introduced the fully electric eSprinter, offering sustainable mobility solutions for businesses.

2024: More Versatile Than Ever

Today’s Sprinter is available in various configurations, including the battery-electric eSprinter, which boasts an impressive range of up to 478 kilometers (WLTP). The latest model features enhanced safety systems, upgraded connectivity, and additional comfort options, ensuring that the Sprinter remains at the forefront of commercial vehicle technology.

30 Years of Innovation – Special Anniversary Edition

To commemorate this milestone, Mercedes-Benz has launched the “30 Years Sprinter” special edition, available from early February. This exclusive model builds on the SELECT line, offering advanced comfort and safety features, including LED high-performance headlights and an enhanced driver assistance package. The special edition is available in Germany starting at €58,055.27.

A Tribute at the Mercedes-Benz Museum

From February 4 to March 30, visitors to the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart can explore the evolution of the Sprinter. The exhibition features the first-generation Sprinter, alongside the latest models, including the cutting-edge eSprinter. Fans can also purchase exclusive anniversary merchandise from a dedicated pop-up shop.
