The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter electric van makes its debut Model year 2024 with a long 170-inch wheelbase, large 113 kwh battery pack and high roof. The brand announced Monday that for 2025 it will add a shorter 144-inch wheelbase, a smaller 81-kwh battery and a shorter standard hood.
In that configuration, the base price drops from $74,181 to $63,545 before mandatory destination charges. Like the 2024 model, the 2024 eSprinter is offered with a choice of 100 kw (134 hp) and 150 kw (201 hp) rear-mounted permanent magnet motors. Both versions are limited to 75 mph.

The lower roof and shorter wheelbase cut cargo space from 488 cubic feet to 319 cubic feet.
The smaller battery trim gets the range to 192 miles on the gentler WLTP European test cycle, compared to 273 miles with the high roof and larger pack. There are no US EPA ratings, but we note that with a relatively light load, the eSprinter will come close to that in real-world US driving. Like the larger battery, it has a lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) chemistry and can fast DC charge at up to 115 kw. It also has the same 9.6 kw onboard charger that allows overnight charging on a 240-volt outlet.
