Different people buy different cars, but Mercedes is the dream of many car enthusiasts. Most people associate this brand with a high level of comfort, reliability and durability (and this is really true). However, some forget that along with powerful and maneuverable cars, the Daimler-Benz concern also produces commercial vehicles, which are also famous for their reliability and durability. The list of commercial cars can be safely attributed to the well-known "Mercedes Sprinter" cargo, which is in high demand not only in Germany, but also far beyond its borders, including in Russia. Today's article will be devoted to a review of the third generation of the legendary trucks, which has been produced since 2005 to this day.
"Mercedes Sprinter" cargo - photo and review of appearance
Design of the newthe car has changed significantly - the headlights, radiator grille and hood have changed their shape and become a little higher, but the body of the novelty is still painfully recognizable.
German designers managed to do the impossible - to significantly upgrade the car to the modern requirements of the European market and at the same time leave it recognizable for many drivers and just passers-by on the streets. Also, when developing the new design of the Mercedes Sprinter, the truck became safer and more dynamic.
And now for the numbers
It is worth noting that the car has slightly changed its dimensions. Now the length of the minibus is almost 7 meters, the width is 1.99 meters, and the height is 2.72 meters. The wheelbase is 4.3 meters. Such characteristics allowed engineers to achieve maximum body capacity. As for the carrying capacity, with its curb weight of 3.5 tons, the machine can lift loads weighing up to 1300 kilograms. However, do not be upset. After all, the manufacturer also provided for the release of cargo vans, the distinguishing feature of which is the greater capacity of the body (it can reach as much as 30 cubic meters, depending on the length of the chassis) and the presence of 4 dual wheels on the rear axle.
All this made it possible to increase the carrying capacity of the car up to 2.5 tons. This is quite a decent indicator for a small-tonnage car. Also, the Mercedes Sprinter 515 truck is capable of towing a trailer, the total mass of whichreaches the mark of 2800 kilograms.
Specifications
The engine is the main part of every vehicle designed for the transport of goods. A lot depends on its characteristics, starting from the speed of movement and ending with the profitability of transportation. The third-generation Mercedes Sprinter is equipped with a new four-cylinder diesel engine with a capacity of 150 horsepower. The maximum torque of this unit at 1400-2000 rpm is 330 Nm. The novelty is completed exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission.
Price
The average price for a new Mercedes Sprinter truck is about 1 million 830 thousand rubles. On the secondary market, you can buy a 2-3 year old van already for 1 million 50 thousand.
