Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Performance Overview
Built around commercial-duty diesel performance, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter spans 2010 to 2025 here across 10 verified tests. In the W906 era (2010–2018 in this dataset), output came from turbo-diesel OM651 and OM642 engines rated from 161 to 188 hp. Early results established the baseline with the 2010 2500 BlueTEC Blue Efficiency Passenger Van (144WB HR) 3.0L V6 at 11.6 seconds to 60 mph, while the 2012 2500 BlueTEC Blue Efficiency Crew Van (144WB LR) 3.0L V6 lowered that to 10.5 seconds. At the other end of the W906 range, the 2014 2500 BlueTEC Blue Efficiency Passenger Van (144WB LR) 2.1L I-4 posted 12.6 seconds.
The VS30 generation, covering 2019 to today, continued with turbo-diesel power through OM642 and OM654 engines, with output rising to 188–208 hp. Tested configurations include cargo, crew, passenger, and dual-rear-wheel variants, keeping acceleration clustered in the low- to mid-11-second range. The current benchmark is the 10.4-second run of the 2025 2500 Cargo Van (144WB LR), which also recorded the model’s quickest quarter-mile at 17.6 seconds at 77.2 mph. That leaves today’s Sprinter slightly quicker than the best W906 test while remaining exclusively diesel in the available data.
