The Ultimate Guide to the Revolutionary Sprinter AWD System
Gone are the days of pressing buttons to ensure traction on slippery surfaces. The Sprinter AWD’s advanced drivetrain continuously adjusts the torque distribution between the front and rear axles, capable of delivering up to 100 percent of the drive to either set of wheels depending on the available traction.
Additionally, the updated 2023 diesel engine guarantees heightened performance compared to its predecessor. While the current V-6 diesel engine option produces 188 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, the latest Sprinter diesel delivers a whopping 211 horsepower at 3600 rpm and 332 pound-feet from 1600 to 2400 rpm. Remarkably, this increased output is achieved with a downsized 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which turns out to be an improvement in performance compared to the 3.0-liter six-cylinder. The powertrain is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, a notable upgrade from the seven-speed in the 2022 model. The wider gear ratio spread ensures that the first gear is equivalent to the low range of earlier Sprinter 4x4s, which had a five-speed transmission.
