Mercedes-Benz introduces a new 2025 model year version of the Sprinter and all-electric eSprinter vans in North America, where they will be available at dealerships in the second half of 2024. Besides a set of general improvements, the new model year also brings expansion to the eSprinter with a new entry-level battery option and more vehicle configurations. Get Fully Charged Mercedes-Benz EVs in the U.S. Mercedes-Benz lineup in the U.S. includes several passenger all-electric cars (EQB, EQE Sedan, EQE SUV, EQS Sedan, EQS SUV) as well the eSprinter commercial van. The eSprinter is locally produced in Charleston, South Carolina. Initially, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter was available only with a 113-kilowatt-hour battery (net capacity) starting at an MSRP of $71,886 ($74,181 including a $2,295 destination charge). Now, there will also be an 81-kWh battery (usable capacity) version offered at a significantly lower price point of $61,250 (plus a $2,295 destination fee for a total of $63,545). That’s over $10,000 less, but less battery capacity (by 32 kWh or almost 40%) will also translate into a lower range of up to about 204 miles (329 km) in the WLTP test cycle (there is no EPA range estimate available). For reference, the bigger battery offers up to 297 miles (478 km) of WLTP range (some 45% more). The German manufacturer notes that businesses have different needs when it comes to range, cargo volume and payload. Because of that, it’s important to expand the product mix and provide options that are tailored to specific commercial purposes, like inner-city local transport or regional feeder transport. 81 kWh (net): 204 miles (329 km) WLTP 113 kWh (net): 297 miles (478 km) WLTP
