2024 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter First Drive: Silent Deliveries
• Auto123 get in a first drive of the new 2024 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter.
Newport Beach, CA - It takes a keen eye to distinguish the new eSprinter from its gasoline-powered counterpart; the two models have near-identical exterior designs. Mercedes-Benz has even left the fuel filler flap on the electric model.
Under the body, however, the company has designed an entirely new architecture housing a 113-kWh battery, located in the eSprinter's belly, and an electric motor driving the rear wheels.

Exterior design
When it goes on sale in the spring, the eSprinter will be offered in a single configuration with a 170-inch wheelbase, raised roof and 113-kWh battery (usable capacity). Otherwise, with the exception of the charging hatch beneath the Mercedes logo in the centre of the grille, there are no marked differences between the gasoline and electric models.
