The all-new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Let’s address the elephant in the room. Many of you are wondering why SA4x4 Magazine, known for its rad rigs and epic expeditions, would even give a van the time of day. Well, lest we forget, the core of what we love is adventure and whatever we may use to get there. In fact, the lead feature in this magazine features a kitted Sprinter, which proved a solid overland home during a six-month photographic safari through some of South America’s toughest regions.
Mercedes-Benz’ iconic Sprinter van has been an institution in the commercialvehicle and transport industries for decades, and the latest iteration is a marvel to behold. Not only does it bene t from some sleek new styling, but it has completely rede ned our idea of what a van is capable of. The company has engineered this massive vehicle to drive and feel like a passenger car – and a Mercedes-Benz, at that.
