| 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3.0 V-6 CDI |
The tradition of leading innovation in the commercial vehicle segment continues with the 2015 Sprinter Van. The Model Year 2015 version of the award-winning van was built with you in mind, offering more of what you need to help drive your business forward.
Enhanced and refined—inside and out.
From the efficient 2-stage turbo diesel engine and 7-speed 7G-TRONIC transmission to the segment-leading active safety system packages and refined exterior and interior, the 2015 Sprinter will change your perception of what a commercial van can do for you—and how far your business can go.
Power and efficiency in two durable combinations.
The 2015 Sprinter lets you choose between two powerful and reliable engine/transmission combinations. The standard powertrain is the impressive OM651 4-cylinder with 7-speed 7G-TRONIC transmission. The OM651 has passed nearly 5 million miles of endurance testing under the harshest operating conditions. The OM642 V6 with 5-speed transmission has already proven itself on the road and will remain available as an option.

The proven OM642 6-cylinder diesel engine/5-speed transmission combination features:
-188 hp at 3,800 rpm
-325 lb-ft of torque across a broad rpm range
-2,987 cc displacement
-Electronically controlled direct injection
-4 valves per cylinder
-Fuel type: Ultra low sulfur diesel
Like the OM651, the OM642 is one of the world's cleanest running diesel engines thanks to BlueTEC® SCR technology.9 The OM642 generates power from a turbocharger as well, and peak torque comes in at low rpm—precisely when it matters most.

Can a transmission reduce interior noise? Or lower the total cost of vehicle ownership? The standard 7-speed 7G-TRONIC transmission does all that and more. This technologically advanced transmission is the first of its kind in the segment and has been refined for maximum output and fuel efficiency. Like the outstanding optional 5-speed/6-cylinder combination, the 7G-TRONIC's shift points are perfectly mated to the OM651 diesel engine's power output.

BlueEFFICIENCY is the term that encompasses all the fuel-saving and emission-reducing efforts Mercedes-Benz uses on the vehicle, powertrain and ancillary components. The engineers took that concept to the next level when they reviewed virtually every aspect of the 2015 Sprinter's operation. As a result, BlueEFFICIENCY is further optimized with cutting-edge features.

Big horsepower numbers are certainly impressive. But for a commercial vehicle, it's all about torque. Simply put, horsepower is the speed of an engine, while torque is the measurement of the force an engine creates. Imagine moving a 10-pound weight one foot with the force (torque) of your arm. Horsepower would be how fast you can move it, while torque is how easily you can move it. The more torque you have, the easier it will be to move the weight. It's the same principle when you step on the gas. The more torque that's available, the easier it will be to pull a trailer or get the vehicle up and moving with a full load of cargo on board.
The 2015 Sprinter's 2-stage turbo diesel engine delivers ample torque at relatively low engine revolutions per minute (rpm), so you'll have maximum pulling power as soon as you accelerate. The torque is transferred to the 7-speed 7G-TRONIC transmission, which features technologically advanced gearing for quicker acceleration and efficient highway driving. The result is a van that delivers impressive pickup along with outstanding fuel economy.
