The Sprinter comes standard with a single sliding side door and barn doors at the rear, the latter of which open up to 270 degrees - very handy for fork-loading. That’s just rude. And so is the non-fitment of side/curtain airbag protection as standard - dual front airbags are standard only.
Options like the Obsidian Black metallic paint, which costs $2200, and that rear-view camera is $776 or $1645 as part of the Parking Package with front and rear sensors. It drives confidently, with good ride compliance and composure even un-laden, and trusty steering that is precise for lane changes, and quick enough to make parking moves simpler than you’d imagine.

The crosswind system works, but like I said, it’s still hardly an aerodynamic case study. The cargo space is just average but that is the case with most segment rivals.
