The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter side-entry conversion has built its reputation on a unique fusion of rugged capability, advanced technology, and unmistakable luxury. After 20 years of redevelopment and its eventual introduction into the adapted mobility industry, this wheelchair accessible vehicle boasts the option of a 4-Cylinder or 6-Cylinder Turbocharged diesel engine — and, it only gets better from there.
With the addition of the reliable lift, the side-entry Mercedes Sprinter is equipped for graceful, powerful accessibility of even the most robust wheelchair models. Two versatile floor plans — including an option for a double jump seat — create a spacious interior for one of the most comfortable rides in adapted mobility.

-
BlueTEC turbo diesel engine with 5,000 lb. towing capacity
