The new Sprinter and Transit were designed first and foremost for utility. Take a closer look, however, and you’ll notice that the Sprinter comes standard with several thoughtful features that are either optional or unavailable for the Transit. Some of these features include:

  • ATTENTION ASSIST®: The Sprinter comes standard with ATTENTION ASSIST®, a feature that monitors driving behavior and sends the driver an alert when drowsiness is detected. This feature is not available on the Transit.
  • Interior Standing Height: While the regular wheelbase, low-roof Transit Van’s cargo height measures in at 56.9 inches, the interior of the 144-inch wheelbase, standard-roof Sprinter Cargo Van is more accommodating at 67.7 inches.
  • Rearview Camera: Both the Transit and the Sprinter come standard with a rearview camera, giving a clearer view of surroundings and making reversing less of a hassle.
