20th birthday edition Sprinter launched

Twenty years ago Mercedes-Benz introduced its first-generation Sprinter van range. To mark the nameplate’s special anniversary, an exclusive Edition Sprinter model has been created.

Available in either panel van or Traveliner minibus guises, the Edition Sprinter is distinguished by metallic silver paintwork, body-colour bumpers and dark-tinted tail lights.

Production of the Edition Sprinter is going to be limited to 2,000 examples. It’ll be offered in nineteen European markets, but whether or not that includes the UK remains to be seen.

Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
