Instead of using mechanical differential locks like other models, the Sprinter 4×4 uses 4ETS Electronic Traction System which automatically applies the brakes intermittently to the spinning wheels while increasing the drive torque to wheels with traction at the same time. The system can store the pairing information of up to five smartphones at one time. For the first time in this segment, there is the choice between front- and rear-wheel drive. This latter system permits controlled slip at the drive wheels so as to facilitate driving off on loose sand or deep snow. Other new Sprinter features include a self-cleaning rear-view camera, 360-degree view parking camera system, and a rain sensor with integrated Wet Wiper system for visibility.
