The A 35 is now the entry-level model from Mercedes-AMG. Jonathan Crouch reports on this enticing hot hatch.
The Mercedes Sprinter is a large van with a big heart. When the second generation version was launched in 2006, that heart meant a class-leadingly efficient range of diesel engines that really took the fight to large van rivals. These refined units offered potentially large efficiency savings to businesses who appreciated this model's spacious, practical, high quality virtues. It ought to stack up well as a used buy too. Does it? Let's find out.
History
When it comes to large vans, one stands above all others across Europe: this one - the Mercedes Sprinter. Nearly a million examples of the second generation version of this nodel were made. This vehicle, launched in 2006, shared its design with arch-rival Volkswagen's Crafter - but not its engines. A new generation of Euro5-compatible CDI diesel units introduced in 2009 set running cost and efficiency standards that rivals struggled to better. Amongst these were vehicles like the Vauxhall Movano/Renault Master design and the Peugeot Boxer/Fiat Ducato/Citroen Relay collaboration, plus of course that VW alternative. But generally, all played catch-up behind this Sprinter in the large van sector. Mercedes was first to introduce a V6 engine to this segment, first to introduce Stop-Start technology to cut costs and was a leader in promoting natural gas power as an alternative. This MK2 Sprinter was facelifted in 2015, then replaced by a third generation model in the Spring of 2018.

Thank you again for an informative and in depth review, top notch commentary and camera work, showcasing not only the van but beautiful English villages and countryside.
These vans have come a long long way since the 1960's Morris J4 or Bedford van l once drove.!
Nice to see professional in depth reviews that are all about the vehicle and not how clever and witty the presenter is.
, (or thinks they are):)
Thank you again from me in Feilding New Zealand.

@@stevel1451 good on fuel and body work ?

[@stevel1451]

Kris, our vans work in the remote Australian outback and there’s no service center on every street corner.After trying a few leading brands we settled for the 316 MWB sprinter due to the low fuel consumption, incredible reliability and driving comfort. A Crafter we had was almost as good on fuel but a mechanical nightmare. Considerable rust is evident in the frame above the side sliding door but this maybe due to the 240 v aircon, solar panels and signs all mounted through the roof,(haven’t investigated yet) apart from that the bodies hold up very well considering the harsh environment and thousands of Ks our vans do on unsealed roads
