No matter what you drive a Sprinter Van for, you can rely on exceptional performance to help you drive around Costa Mesa with confidence. There are many differences between the Sprinter Van 2500 and the Sprinter Van 3500 when it comes to performance. For the most part, their performance is fairly identical.
We've listed the major performance highlights of each option below:
4-cylinder diesel standard output base engine
Up to 208 hp
Up to 332 lb-ft of torque
Maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds
9G-TRONIC automatic transmission
4-cylinder diesel standard output base engine
Up to 208 hp
Up to 332 lb-ft of torque
Maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds
9G-TRONIC automatic transmission
As you can see, the only major difference between the performance capabilities of the 2500 and the 3500 is the towing capacity. The 2500 option will still allow you to tow up to 5,000 pounds of cargo across the roads of Huntington Beach, but if you want to reach the maximum of 7,500 pounds, you'll need to opt for the 3500.
Since the 2500 is the base-level option, it starts out at a lower price than the 3500 option. That being said, there's not a significant difference between the starting prices of both options.
Here are the starting prices of the Sprinter Van 2500 and the 3500:
2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van 2500: $49,900 Starting MSRP*
2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van 3500: $52,800 Starting MSRP*
The price of the 2500 and the 3500 will vary depending on which configuration and body style you choose. When you shop for either of these options at Fletcher Jones Van Center, you'll be able to take advantage of our new vehicle specials to get the best rate possible!
One of the most significant differences between the 2500 and the 3500 is the body styles and the different kinds of uses for each option. The Sprinter Van 2500 option is available for the Cargo Van, Crew Van, and Passenger Van. However, the 3500 is only available on the Cargo Van and the Cab Chassis option.
Laguna Beach drivers who opt for 3500 will be limited to two Sprinter Van body styles while drivers who choose a 2500 will have more Sprinter Van body style options. To give you an idea of which option might be ideal for you, here are some common uses of the 2500 and the 3500 options:
Hauling Cargo
Shuttling Passengers
Camping
Van Life
Side Hustles
Hauling Cargo
Commercial Driving
Heavy-Duty Landscaping
Construction Job Site Work Vehicle
If shuttling around passengers or having a van you can convert into a camper is your priority, you'll want to lean more in the direction of the 2500. However, if you need something for hauling heavy-duty equipment around Orange County or something to have on the job site, you might be more attracted to the 3500. Whichever direction you're leaning, visit Fletcher Jones Van Center to test-drive the Sprinter Van 2500 or 3500 option!
