2019+ Mercedes Sprinter 144 Overview (VS30)

The 2019+ VS30 Sprinter 144 is the smallest option in the Sprinter line with a total length of 19’ 4”. It’s popular among overlanders and adventurers because it’s more nimble, and the shorter wheelbase allows it to perform better on trails and around metropolitan environments.

In 2019, Mercedes Benz decided to overhaul the NCV3 model (2007-2018) with the new VS30 Sprinter - it's only been available for a short time, but the VS30 has quickly gained popularity because of the advanced technology and safety features not available on the older models. 

One thing that's attractive for adventurers is the almost endless amount of upgrades and accessories that are already available for the Sprinter platform—When added, accessories like our Roof Racks such as our Standard Sprinter Roof RackLadders, and Interior Components take the VS30 Sprinter platform to the next level. 

With so many upgrades and options, the 2019+ Sprinter is sure to continue its reign as the most popular adventure van on the market.

The 2019+ Sprinter has a ton of new features and available options that make it more appealing than it's predecessor. From built-in safety features like Active Brake Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist to the 360 Degree Camera - this isn't the cargo van of old and we are pretty happy about that. 

LED Performance Headlights

Quite possibly the most noticeable cosmetic difference between the NVC3 and VS30 Sprinters is the updated LED Headlights. They are smaller than previous generations giving it a sleek new look and better visibility of the road ahead.

360-Degree Camera

Another game-changing piece of technology available in the 2019+ Sprinters, the 360-Degree Camera helps you maneuver and park with complete confidence. We are excited to test this out on some trails this year. 

Active Brake Assist

Active Brake Assist is another helpful tool that can warn you of upcoming dangers and brake for you. Mercedes touts that it's the only system that can recognize and brake for pedestrians. 

Active Lane Keeping Assist

Active Lane Keeping Assist is another safety feature we are excited about. It can sense if you seem to be changing lanes unintentionally, and gives you a visual and audio warning, and applies brake pressure to help keep you in the correct lane. 

Mercedes Benz User Experience Touch Screen (MBUX)

Available in a 7" and 10.25" Touch Screen is equipped with the new Mercedes Benz User Experience Touch Screen (pronounced M-B-U-X). MBUX allows for voice control as well as direct control on the touchscreens.
