New Sprinter price revealed

Mercedes-Benz Ireland has released prices for the new generation Sprinter van in advance of its arrival here, writes Brian Byrne. I drove it a while back abroad, and initial impressions are that it's a very comfortable and competent vehicle indeed.

The starting RRP will be €21,950, plus taxes and charges. The Sprinter arrives early next month, and dealers were recently in Portugal for a global training event.

The new Sprinter will come with a FWD version for the first time, in addition to the RWD and AWD which are the options of the outgoing model. A chassis cab version will be available for use by conversion companies including RV builders.

A WiFi hotspot will also be available within the connectivity options.

The full range of driver assistance systems that are part of the Mercedes-Benz passenger cars environment will also be available in the new Sprinter, in addition to specific ones for LCVs such as the side wind assistance.

These will include a reversing camera showing its image in the rear-view mirror, a Parking Package with a 360-degree all-round view, and a rain sensor with an integrated wet wiper system — the washer fluid is passed through the wiper arms, sprayed directly ahead of the wiper blades and wiped away with no delay.

'Throw the life vest, then swim the other way ...'

"C'mon, Aggro. Do your stuff …" Aggro didn't seem particularly interested in the brace of pork chops dangled in front of his snout. Though he had cared enough to slither out of his comfortable mud on the side of the Adelaide River to join us. "Remember, keep your hands inside," our skipper and guide, Steve, warned. At that point, with Aggro up very close and personal to the riverboat, we really didn't need the reminder. The crocodile might not be showing big interest in raw chops, but a couple of fingers or a hand might well have tempted him to an appetiser. "Come on, Aggro," Steve called again, this time almost bouncing the tasty pork on the croc's nostrils. After a further investigation, swishing his tail to stay with us against the current, he made a rather half-hearted jump at the bait, but failed to win as it was whipped beyond him. Then he simply gave up and disappeared under the boat. "OK, we'll go and see if one of ...
