The 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is just as cool as any supercar or performance car. Now, before you storm Automoblog<\/em> editor-in-chief Carl Anthony’s home office in Detroit with torches and pitchforks in hand, hear me out. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has been roaming U.S. roads since 2001. Back in those days, Sprinter vans are also known as Dodges or Freightliners. No matter the name, full-size cargo vans are more than just boxes on wheels, and we love them to bits. Just as much as we do muscle and performance cars! <\/p>\n\n\n\n You might think of pickup trucks as the driving force of the industrial and commercial revolution. Still, cargo vans like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ram ProMaster, and Ford Transit are pretty much the backbone of any burgeoning economy. Available in a bewildering array of sizes, body styles, and customization options, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter leads the way with a slew of innovative features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is more of the same. The Sprinter\u2019s higher base price is not for everyone, but it\u2019s the most refined vehicle in its class, beating aforementioned competitors like the Ford Transit, Chevy Express, and even the Ram ProMaster in the \u201ccomfortable as a daily driver\u201d department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New for the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the three-pointed star\u2019s OM 654 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder diesel with a cast aluminum block and Nanoslide cylinder walls<\/a>. While this engine was previously only available in European Sprinters with rear-wheel drive, it is now available in America across all versions and body styles, including all-wheel drive models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new diesel will come in four versions with 114, 150, 170, and 190 horsepower, but Mercedes-Benz claims the exact U.S. specs remain forthcoming. If Mercedes decides to bring in the 190-horsepower version of its 2.0-liter diesel engine, it will have more power than the turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 from the outgoing Sprinter 3500 and 4500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: What\u2019s New?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
