Are Sprinter Vans 4×4 or All-Wheel-Drive?
Working adequately for both off-road adventures and commercial use, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4×4 provides Riverside area drivers with more stability, handling, and control.
While Sprinter vans (2022MY and prior) have traditionally been equipped with an electronic engaged 4×4 system, starting in 2023 and beyond, Sprinter vans will feature all-wheel-drive providing more power, endurance, and overall seamless transition.
Here at Mercedes-Benz Van Center of Riverside, we provide our customers with an inventory of new Sprinter vans for sale to add ease, convenience, and comfort to their personal or business adventures. Learn more about the performance changes coming to Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans.
What is the Difference Between 4×4 and All-Wheel-Drive?
All-wheel-drive and 4×4 systems share similarities in how they operate in your driving performance with heavier loads on various terrain, but the main difference that separates the two is that all-wheel-drive is more optimized for on-road, everyday use. While 4×4 offers special capabilities, its benefits are reaped for more treacherous road conditions.
Benefits of All-Wheel Drive in My Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van?
Switching from 4×4 to all-wheel-drive, Sprinter vans will maintain their capabilities of ground clearance, approach angle, departure angle, and break-over angle, and add more automatic torque on demand. Additional benefits of having all-wheel-drive equipped within your luxury vans include:
- Better Traction in Slippery Conditions
- Improved Off-Road Capability
- Greater Performance Levels
- Equal Weight Distribution Across Van’s Frame
