Mercedes Sprinter wheel fitment — 2 Inc Facelift
Overview
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, in its second generation (W906), was introduced in Europe in 2006 and later in North America for the 2007 model year. It is built on a platform designed to offer improved aerodynamics, increased interior space, and enhanced fuel efficiency compared to its predecessor. The vehicle comes with various body styles including cargo vans, chassis cabs, minibuses, and crew vans. In Europe, it was voted Van of the Year in 2007 and again in 2008 by Professional Van and Light Truck Magazine. It features a range of diesel engines, some equipped with BlueTEC technology for better emissions compliance.
