Birth of a New Van Class

Three Generations of Evolution

The Sprinter has progressed through three distinct generations—first (1995‑2006, T1N), second (2006‑2018, NCV3), and third (2019‑present)—each bringing a redesign that kept the model fresh for over two decades.

A Quirky Reliability Tale

Owners often note that the rear‑window wiper is the most common non‑functioning part on the Sprinter, typically getting stuck, making it a memorable quirk of the otherwise robust van.
