    Engines

    Sprinter cargo vans are most often equipped with a four-cylinder turbodiesel engine that has an intercooler. This option is considered not only particularly popular, but is also reliable. Power characteristics of such an engine:

    • power
      – 150 l. With.;
    • torque
      – 330 Nm;
    • motor speed range
      – 1200–2450 rpm.

    Since 2009, the cargo sprinter began to be equipped with more powerful engines. These models have a displacement of 2.1 liters and a power of 160 hp. With. Their torque reaches 360 Nm, speed – 1400 rpm.

    Fuel consumption

    The fuel consumption of the Mercedes 311 is 8.9 liters per 100 km on average. In the city this figure increases to 11.4 liters, and on the highway it drops to 7.4 liters. The capacity of the fuel tank is 75 liters, and the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust is 300 g/km.

    Transmission

    Both modifications of Mercedes minibuses are equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. There is no automatic transmission even as an option. Nevertheless, this box does not cause any complaints from the owners. This is evidenced by numerous reviews. The transmission can withstand loads well even beyond the norm.

    Chassis

    At the front, the car is equipped with an independent suspension (MacPherson strut). There are no coil springs. Instead, there is a single-leaf spring and anti-roll bar. At the rear there is a dependent suspension scheme with a continuous axle. The latter “rests” on leaf springs. The steering system is rack and pinion type (unlike the GAZelle, which uses an archaic gearbox). The hydraulic booster is already included in the basic configuration. The braking system is equipped with various assistants - ABS, EBD and others. Front and rear – disc brakes. By the way, on the front axle they are also ventilated.

    Steering and instrument panel

    An option is to install a steering wheel with improved comfort indicators. This reduces operator workload and ensures operator comfort even on long trips. The Mercedes 311 multifunctional column with a voluminous rim and chrome elements increases safety.

    There are four double buttons on the steering wheel, with which you control the on-board computer, radio volume, telephone, and Assyst maintenance system. Safety is ensured by placing both hands on the steering wheel.

    Brake system

    As standard, the Mercedes Benz Sprinter 311 truck is equipped with disc brakes on all wheels and an improved hydraulic braking system with two circuits and an electric lining wear indicator. The AAS anti-rollback function, which is part of the ESP, is responsible for a smooth start to uphill movement. If the start is at the bottom of a slope, the system maintains pressure in the brake circuits for 2 seconds. This is enough for the driver to move his foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator, but the car does not roll back. The system is activated on a slope of 4% or more; failure occurs when stopping on a flat surface and with the handbrake active.

    Mercedes Sprinter owner reviews – Features and benefits

    Mercedes Sprinter 2. 2, 2. 3, 2. 9 real reviews of fuel consumption: diesel Fuel consumption on the Mercedes Sprinter Classic, as well as on other models of the German automaker, is 10 liters of fuel per 100 km of road. Since I didn’t have time to go to the diesel fuel tank, and even less desire, I continued to surf the expanses of the Bolshoi Theater, keeping in mind the approximate mileage, but closer to the second hundred kilometers the needle crept down, eliminating the question of the serviceability of the fuel gauge sensor.
    What is the fuel consumption of a Mercedes Sprinter minibus. Main features and advantages For vehicles and their modifications for which there are no individual oil and lubricant consumption standards, the following temporary oil and lubricant consumption standards have been established. Reliable and high-torque diesel engines are more popular. Sprinters equipped with them have reduced fuel consumption, which is a decisive argument for carriers.
    • Buying a minibus has been my dream for quite some time. I always transport a large number of things, I have a large family, that is, such a car would be very useful to me in my life. At some point, when I started building a house, I finally decided to buy a Mercedes Sprinter. Why did I choose this particular car? I liked many indicators. This includes appearance, technical characteristics and, of course, fuel consumption. It’s one thing to refuel a passenger car, even if it has increased fuel consumption, and a completely different thing is the consumption of a minibus. That’s why I chose the Mercedes Sprinter, although at first I was very afraid that the indicators in the owner’s manual might actually just be an advertising ploy on the part of the manufacturers. After the purchase, I immediately began to test the car’s appetite in practice. At first I checked the consumption within the city, and per hundred kilometers it was about 14 liters of fuel, which is not very much compared to the same indicators for other models. On the highway, fuel consumption drops to 10 liters. In general, they almost exactly coincide with the readings in the instruction book and only sometimes in traffic jams or when the engine warms up they can increase. Also, fuel consumption is greatly affected by the load in the cabin, so I always try to carry an average weight and not load the car completely.
    • When I bought a Mercedes Sprinter for transporting construction materials, I didn’t pay much attention to fuel consumption. Even with passenger cars, it is quite difficult to guess this indicator and choose the best one. It’s even worse here, because before buying a minibus I knew almost nothing about this type of car, so I took the most popular model. After I drove the car for more than a year, I began to notice that little money was spent on refueling, but sometimes I had to stop by the gas station twice a day. I began to calculate consumption in practice. As a result, it turned out that in the city, the car spends about 14–15 liters per hundred kilometers, but appetites can increase, for example, in winter when the engine warms up. Outside the city, fuel consumption decreases to 11–12 liters, but this is essentially how it should be. The only negative I noticed was an increase in fuel consumption when the car was heavily loaded, and this is not just my opinion. I see that many, according to reviews, are faced with exactly the same problem.
    • When I need to buy myself a new minibus, the first thing I try to look at is the fuel consumption indicators. Not because I’m a very frugal person, but still, few people want to simply waste half of their salary down the exhaust pipe. That is why I bought a Mercedes Sprinter for myself, although initially I strongly doubted the capabilities of this model and the characteristics that were described in the instruction book. Naturally, this also applies to fuel consumption, but I relied most on the experience of my friends, as well as on opinions on the Internet. After the purchase, at first the fuel consumption was quite high, and in the city the car could consume more than 18 liters for a hundred kilometers. Then, after the engine was running, appetites began to decline and now the average consumption cycle reaches approximately 12–14 liters. I believe that among all minibus-type models, this is one of the most economical vehicles.
    • Mercedes Sprinter is a minibus-type model that may be suitable for people who want not to spend money on fuel and at the same time get a car with good performance in their arsenal. After I bought this model, I never thought about fuel consumption. Naturally, there were times when consumption increased, but this always happened, for example, in winter or if I was often stuck in traffic jams. If we ignore all these minor factors, it is almost absolutely certain that the Mercedes Sprinter never spends excess fuel. In the city and on the highway in the average cycle, fuel consumption reaches 12–14 liters, and maybe even less if you monitor the speed level and braking. That is, just drive in an economical driving style, and naturally always refuel only one type of fuel.

    Who has what fuel consumption on a Mercedes Sprinter? • There are many compartments for storing things in the cabin.

    Device

    The machine is equipped with a large number of safety systems as standard. The electronic stabilization system ESP is part of the control system; it will not allow the car to suddenly change direction. ABS and ASR systems, reliable brakes, airbags and seat belts are also installed as standard and protect the driver of the Mercedes Benz Sprinter Classic 311 CDI in emergency situations.

    The main lighting is controlled by an automatic system. It evaluates the road situation, the level of illumination and determines the intensity of the glow. To operate the automatic system, a video camera is used, located above the front window of the Mercedes Benz Sprinter Classic 311. It transmits a signal to the on-board computer, which turns the lighting on and off.

    Ease of operation and maintenance

    The components and components of the Mercedes Benz Sprinter 311 can last for a long time. On average, wear becomes noticeable after a mileage of 400-500 thousand km. The main problems in operation occur due to non-compliance with service intervals. The turbine must be checked after 1-1.2 million km. You also need to control the quality of the fuel, because... a poor composition can lead to clogging and failure of the fuel system.

    The car will serve for a long time and will not fail at the most inopportune moment if you strictly follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the replacement of consumables:

    • every 15 thousand km it is necessary to change the brake fluid and oil;
    • Once every 2 years it is necessary to clean or replace the air filter, check the wear of the brake pads;
    • every 60 thousand km they check the condition of the driveshaft, fuel filter, clutch, change the oil in the automatic transmission.

    Mercedes Benz Sprinter engines and official consumption rates

    To expand the customer base, the manufacturer offers several powertrain options for this car. Reliable and high-torque diesel engines are more popular. Sprinters equipped with them have reduced fuel consumption, which is a decisive argument for carriers.

    The manufacturer offers several options for gasoline engines, characterized by traditional reliability, the ability to operate in any climatic conditions and a long service life. The use of modern technologies has made it possible to significantly reduce their appetite, increasing the profitability of such cars.
