Mercedes-Benz Vans has made a new addition to its lineup in the United States, with the introduction of a base diesel engine for the Sprinter Cargo Van.
The light commercial vehicle (LCV) packs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder oil burner that develops 161 HP (163 PS / 120 kW) and 266 lb-ft (361 Nm) of torque, matched to a seven-speed automatic transmission.
Offered alongside the 2.0-liter gasoline Passenger, Crew and Cargo, and 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo diesel Cargo, Crew, Passenger and Cab Chassis variants, it will arrive at dealers at the end of the year in rear-wheel drive configuration with two wheelbase options.
