Mercedes-Benz is extending customer offerings for the new 2025 eSprinter with the launch of the 81-kilowatt hour (kWh) battery option (usable capacity) and further developed technology functions. In addition, enhanced safety and assistance systems are now available as well as upgraded standard equipment for the new conventionally powered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and for the new eSprinter.
The new 2025 Merecdes-Benz eSprinter is available to order now starting at $61,250, plus a $2,295 destination fee. It will arrive at U.S. dealerships second half of 2024.
As an alternative to the 113 kWh battery, 170” wheelbase and high roof combination, Mercedes-Benz eSprinter customers in North America can now opt for an 81-kWh battery variant with different wheelbases and roof heights. This enables customers to choose the right configuration for their specific applications in terms of payload and range. With the different battery capacities, Mercedes-Benz can meet many customer needs and specific total cost of ownership requirements – from inner-city local transport to regional feeder transport.
To maximize a payload of up to 3,516 lbs., a 144” wheelbase with standard roof combination can offer up to 319 cubic feet of cargo volume. Alternatively, the longer 170” wheelbase with a high roof in combination with the 81 kWh battery allows for a total volume of 488 cubic feet and a payload of up to 3,120 lbs., almost 500 lbs. more payload potential compared to the same configuration with the 113 kWh battery. All eSprinter variants allow for permissible gross vehicle weight of up to 9,370 lbs.
The permanent magnet synchronous motor of the eSprinter is characterized by particularly high efficiency. It is available with 100 kW or 150 kW peak power and delivers a torque of up to 295 ft.-lb. An electric range for the 81 kWh battery of up to 329 kilometers (~204 miles) according to the WLTP test procedure, poses a solid foundation for last-mile delivery services that service urban areas. For increased range, the 113 kWh battery offers a range of up to 478 kilometers (~297 miles). Just like the 113 kWh battery, the 81 kWh option is capable of charging with both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). Fast charging with up to 115 kilowatts from 10 to 80 percent5 of full capacity can be achieved in just over 30 minutes.
With access to nearly 100,000 public charging points nationwide, the Mercedes me connect service Mercedes me Charge offers access to one of the largest integrated charging networks in the U.S.
Current MBUX generation and a variety of digital extras
The new Mercedes-Benz eSprinter offer the latest generation of the MBUX (Mercedes Benz User Experience) multimedia system with a 10.25-inch display characterized by even faster computing power and further improved menu navigation, granting customers a digital and interactive experience. The conversational voice assistant has become even more intelligent. Certain actions can now be triggered without the activation term “Hey Mercedes”. The voice assistant uses microphones in the optional comfort overhead control panel to recognize which front seat the command is coming from. This means it knows which side wants the seat heating activated, for example. “Hey Mercedes” also explains vehicle functions and provides support if, for example, you want to connect your smartphone via Bluetooth interface. With MBUX, an integrated smartphone connection to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto now offers a wireless option. Software updates and new vehicle or comfort functions can conveniently come into the vehicle via over-the-air updates (OTA).
Another particularly practical MBUX function is the display of the free space behind the rear. The system uses the rear-view camera to show a hatched area in the central display in which the rear doors can be opened. The distance is programmable and can therefore be adjusted according to the size of the load. This increases comfort when loading and unloading. Drivers can see whether there is enough space without getting out. When the rear doors are opened, the camera image is also transferred to the central display.
For additional flexibility, Mercedes-Benz also gives customers with multi-brand fleets the ability to monitor all of their fleet operations from a single interface by using one of several authorized telematics providers. With MBUX, the new eSprinter is integrated into the electric vehicle ecosystem of intelligent navigation (Navigation with Electric Intelligence) with active range management and cloud-based services and apps. This ensures relaxed journeys with transparency and the greatest possible planning security. For example, the charging settings can be adjusted, the best possible charging strategy can be calculated, and pre-conditioning can be carried out.
