Mercedes-Benz Vans Canada announces pricing for the all-new eSprinter

The all-new eSprinter represents the first fully-electric van in North America from Mercedes-Benz Vans, offering customers an impressive combination of efficiency, range and load capacity combined with a multitude of technical innovations. The Canadian market will launch the 170'' long wheelbase cargo version with a high-roof configuration carrying a 113 kWh battery. Starting at a base MSRP of $97,990^1,2 and offering a WLTP³ range of more than 400 km, the all-new eSprinter will be available for order at Canadian dealerships starting at the end of October 2023 and will qualify for the federal government's iMHZEV EV program purchase incentive of up to $10,000. The eSprinter may also qualify for provincial incentive programs⁴.

The all-new eSprinter features the familiar Sprinter design and product highlights, but it comes with a major key difference: a battery-electric drive system. For the first time, Canadian customers can make their fleet more sustainable with an emission-free, battery-electric van bearing the Mercedes-Benz star.

At market launch, the eSprinter will be available in Canada as a 170'' wheelbase cargo van with a high roof equipped with a 113 kilowatt hour battery (usable capacity). The lithium/iron phosphate technology eliminates the use of any cobalt or nickel and is ideal for light commercial vehicles due to durability. When charging at a wallbox, the on-board AC charger has a maximum output of 9.6 kilowatts, while the standard maximum output at DC fast-charging stations is up to 50 kW. With the optional upgrade, DC Fast Charging is available up to 115 kW allowing the battery to charge from approx. 10% to 80% in just over 40 minutes.

Mercedes me Charge offers convenient use of charging stations from an extensive nationwide network through a seamless integrated payment function with simple billing processes via the Mercedes me connect app.  

To ensure maximum efficiency, the all-new eSprinter features three different drive programs and five recuperation stages. Both functions optimize electrical consumption and range. A special advantage is the automatic function (D Auto) in which the car automatically defines the energy recovery rate based on the traffic situation. A radar sensor and navigation data automatically adjust the recuperation level to ensure optimized recuperation. The three drive programs (eco, comfort and max range) can further assist the driver to drive particularly efficient or with maximum comfort.

The electric powertrain features two new developments: the efficient motor and the innovative electric rear axle, both of which are featured for the first time in a battery-electric van from Mercedes-Benz. The permanent magnet synchronous motor, which weighs only around 286 lb., is characterized by particularly high efficiency and optimized thermal management. The motor is available in two power levels, with 100 or 150 kilowatts of peak output (136 hp or 204 hp). Both deliver a torque of up to 295 lb.-ft. for at least 30 seconds.

Inside, the optional innovative Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) with the latest software generation features innovative technology based on Artificial Intelligence and an intuitive operating system. MBUX can be operated by Voice Control, the touchscreen, touchpad and touch control buttons on the steering wheel. The system has learning capabilities and Intelligent Voice Control with natural language understanding and a verbal cue of "Hey Mercedes". Optional Navigation with "Electric Intelligence" ensures the greatest possible planning certainty: for example, it shows the current range in real time depending on the current traffic situation and the topography of the route. It also calculates the best possible charging strategy to get to the destination as quickly as possible, or to have the desired state of charge (SoC) at the destination.

Further efficiency and comfort is virtually guaranteed with pre-entry climate control. The departure time and desired interior temperature can be selected in advance remotely via the Mercedes me connect app or via the MaxComfort button in the vehicle. If the vehicle is connected to the charger, the capacity of the high-voltage battery is conserved during pre-entry climate control and the optimum range of the vehicle is maintained. In cold weather, additional comfort is ensured right from the start of the journey with the standard heated driver seat and heated steering wheel.

An additional interior highlight is the optional digital rear view mirror offering the driver unobstructed views of the rear and a distinct advantage when in reverse. With this option, the conventional rear-view mirror installed on the windshield, also serves as a digital rear-view mirror transmitting an image from a High Dynamic Range camera installed in the exterior rear end of the roof. The mirror is equipped with light sensors at the front and rear and automatically adjusts the brightness of the display to ambient conditions.

The all-new eSprinter can be upfitted to a mobile workshop or a spacious delivery van. Mercedes-Benz Canada's trusted eXpertUpfitter partners offer various available customization solutions, such as shelving systems, workbenches or heavy-duty wood floors for heavy loads. The load capacity is 14 m³ and the permissible gross vehicle weight is 4.25 tonnes.
