2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter gets new turbodiesel engine and AWD system:
Mercedes-Benz's do-it-all Sprinter will enter the 2023 model year with several significant updates on its specifications sheet. While the brand made no major design changes, it added a new four-cylinder turbodiesel engine and a permanent all-wheel-drive system to the lineup.
The 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 will not return for the 2023 model year, meaning that the Sprinter will be four-cylinder-only. The gasoline-burning option will remain a turbocharged 2.0-liter, while the diesel-powered alternative will be a 2.0-liter called OM654 internally that Mercedes has offered in various models sold on the European market since 2016. In the Sprinter, it will be available with 168 or 208 horsepower, which partially explains why the V6 is gone: It was rated at 188 horsepower.
Every member of the Sprinter range regardless of fuel type will receive a nine-speed automatic gearbox for 2023. Adding two gears to the transmission gives the big van quicker acceleration off the line while keeping engine revolutions down at freeway speeds. Rear-wheel drive will continue to come standard, but buyers who need more traction will be able to select a new-for-2023 full-time all-wheel-drive system that replaces the part-time four-wheel-drive system currently available.
Mercedes-Benz dealers will begin receiving the 2023 Sprinter in the coming months. Pricing hasn't been announced yet. For context, the 2022 van carries a base price of $38,800 with a 144-inch wheelbase, a standard roof, and a gasoline engine.
