Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Tipper Review

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Tipper at a glance

When you think of the Mercedes-Benz brand, you may think of luxury and stylish vehicles. What many do not think of are versatility and practicality. But this is where the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter range of vans comes in. Described as one of the most adaptable large vans on the market, it champions reliability and efficiency while keeping the driver, their passengers, and the payload safe and secure.

The Tipper variety of the Sprinter van is the ideal choice for the easy load and unload of goods, due to its open body and large cargo length (3,320mm by 2,040mm). Using the powerful auxiliary battery, tipping heavy loads has never been easier. With the hit of a switch, the van can easily tip loads of over 1000kg out, perfect for businesses or workers who need to quickly and easily move large amounts of materials.

Want to know more about the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Tipper? Vanaways has put together this blog on some of the key features and benefits of the vehicle.

Engines and Spec

In terms of the engine, a new 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine design debuted in mid-2020, giving power outputs of between 114hp to 190hp, and torque output of 300 Nm to 440 Nm. It is available in the new front-wheel drive variant, with rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive also available.

The front-wheel drive key advantage is allowing for an increased payload, with other benefits being a lower loading sill height and an optional nine-speed automatic gearbox in place of the standard six. Whatever your traction requirements, you can choose a Sprinter perfect for you.

Active brake assist is available as standard in the Sprinter Tipper, helping drivers to keep safe on the road. You’ll also feel reassured by some of the additional safety features, such as a deadlock, alarm and visible VIN. It has 6 recessed floor load eyes that will help you to secure goods during transport and is built to last with a welded high-strength steel body frame.

In terms of how it is to drive, you can expect a smooth ride with a comfortable suspension that will adjust to road surface imperfections with ease. The handling and manoeuvrability allow a driver to operate with confidence on all types of roads, able to safely and securely reach destinations.

Interior

While the champion feature of the Tipper is the open cargo section attached to the powerful auxiliary battery, the interior is also built to please. Available in a single cab and a double cab variant, the Sprinter Tipper can be adapted to suit a single, lone contractor or a team of workers.

The MBUX infotainment system debuts in new models of the Sprinter, with a high-resolution 7-inch touchscreen as standard that utilises What3words, their geocoded map system, ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice control, and much more.

It has comfortable seats with enough space for 3 in the single cab variant, and 6 in the double crew cab option. The attractive yet functional design allows a driver to easily operate the vehicle, with a steering wheel that allows for controlling the screen and instrument cluster with ease.

In terms of storage, you can expect a trio of dash-top trays, and even under-seat storage space, perfect for equipment and other paraphernalia.

"Found these guys online and was a little bit wary to buy a new van from someone I hadn't heard of. From the off, the first phone call was professional and gave me all the information that I needed, Theo was great, helpful and I proceeded to order my new van, Paige sorted the paperwork quickly and efficiently and within 10 days I had my new van delivered! The price was very competitive and all parts of the transaction were easy and hassle free, wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys, Thank you so much for a really good experience."

"I was looking for a good deal on a van online and then came across Van away, at first I was a bit sceptical but later went ahead and bought a Peugeot boxer on an unbeatable price online. The sell team were fantastic all the way and very helpful to say the least. I will highly recommend Van away to anybody that's looking for a van of any kind. Thanks Van Away for your first class service and I will be looking forward to a future deal."

"Paige was outstanding in her responsiveness to what presented as a serious problem for our company. The finance company used by her company caused unnecessary and significant delays in the delivery of our van - the pain of which was mitigated somewhat by Paige's proactive communication, informative and realistic communication and very professional demeanour. I'd recommend her and she meant our view of Vanaways was overall positive."
