Why Choose the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter As Your Family Van?
While the Mercedes-Benz brand tends to be synonymous to luxurious comforts and drive performance, its Commercial division spearheaded by the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter aims to offer these same attributes within a light commercial vehicle or van. To elaborate further, Mercedes-Benz offers the Sprinter in 3 different variants: a Passenger, Cargo and Crew van. To avoid an import tax set upon light commercial trucks, the Cargo and Crew vans are disassembled prior to being shipped from Germany and then later reassembled in Mercedes-Benz’s manufacturing facility in South Carolina. On the other hand, Passenger units are not under the same restrictions meaning that these are shipped from Mercedes’ manufacturing facility in Germany as these are classified as any average passenger van, which means no special type of driver’s license is generally required to drive one of these.
While there are number of reasons why a family may look into purchasing a Mercedes Sprinter whether it be fulfilling their RV or camper needs via installation of bed and a rear bathroom, using a Braun Ability wheelchair lift for any disabled / special needs family members, or accommodating a large amount of family members as well as friends. There is no doubt that if one is looking for the seating capacity, the craftsmanship and safety known from Mercedes, and the luggage capacity to fit your belongings and your precious cargo, your children, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a prime choice.

One thing remains evident and clear with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is that it is distinguishable by capability as people mover with the ability to accommodate 7 – 12 passengers on its base model. While it is uncommon for families, it should be stated that HQ can accommodate up to 17 passengers, depending upon client needs. Furthermore, while it is obvious that the Sprinter has a large amount of space, finding the floor plan that works most optimally for your travel needs requires variety and that is precisely what HQ aims to help accomplish. High roof variants offer a vast amount of height to allow all passengers to comfortably stand within van and provide easy entry / exit from the van. On the other hand, low roof and the 144″ chassis enable for no bridge use restrictions due to lower van height and easier parking capabilities. In addition, HQ offers a wide range of captain and coach seating options with different patterns, finishes and motorization options. Enhanced additional options include accommodations for handicapped passengers include elevated chairs and 180 degree swivel capability.
