That the first generation eSprinter was something of a bodge job doesn't matter much. Most of the market wasn't quite ready for it anyway. What's important is that Mercedes has a large electric van worthy of its brand for the present and the future - and this revitalised eSprinter seems to be exactly that. We're surprised the company didn't wait until its next-generation van.ea-platform MK4 Sprinter model to move things along, but the marque's hand was clearly forced by the excellence of the Ford E-Transit, launched in 2022. So it is that this MK3-era Sprinter will actually end its life cycle with an electric version worthy of the technological heritage that lies behind the Three-Pointed Star on its bonnet.
This may look the same as the original eSprinter, but just about everything is actually different - and certainly better. The modular design means that Mercedes can more easily produce it alongside diesel models. And customers will appreciate the fact that there's a much bigger body shape option than before. This revitalised eSprinter though, will have a rather premium price, particularly in its largest-battery form. Which could keep the much more affordable rival Ford E-Transit in the frame for quite a few company customers. Make no mistake though; beyond these two models, choosing any of the other large EV-powered vans in this segment is simply opting for yesterday's technology.
