Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Cargo Van 170-inch Luggage Test

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Cargo Van 170″ Wheelbase Excessive Roof is the second-biggest model of the Sprinter 2500 Cargo Van you may get. The most important? The Prolonged Wheelbase that contradictorily has the identical wheelbase however additional size past the axle. The specs say that the 2500 with this van’s 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 has a payload of three,737 kilos. That is significantly greater than the final Mercedes SUV I baggage examined, the Mercedes-Benz GLB 250.

I usually do not deal with payload in baggage assessments, although, as a result of for some bizarre cause, automotive corporations do not promote that information as readily for Konas and Civics. That simply looks as if laziness. What I often base these assessments on is cubic-feet and particularly, the quantity of cargo area behind a automobile’s rearmost seat.

That is greater than the next-largest Mercedes I’ve baggage examined, the AMG GLS 63, which has 17.4 cubic-feet behind its rearmost seating row. Nevertheless, as I’ve seen time and time once more, together with with Mercedes, a automobile’s on-paper cargo specs can typically not mirror actuality.

I additionally embody my spouse’s fancy in a single day bag simply to spruce issues up a bit (21L x 12W x 12D).
