Last Updated on March 3, 2023 by Paul S.

Looking to make your Mercedes Sprinter into #Vanlife or even just a work van? We have some of the basic interior dimensions you will need to understand to be able to know which one fits you the best. 

From our research, we have provided below the basic dimensions for the Mercedes Sprinter Van. The van comes in two options that affect the interior dimensions. Here are those options:

  • The first option is the extended wheelbase. 
  • The second option is a high roof. 

Read below to find those dimensions.

Mercedes Sprinter Van Interior Dimensions – 170 inch Wheelbase & High Roof

This Sprinter Van maximizes space in the cargo area by utilizing a 170 inch wheelbase and a higher roof. The higher roof is very convenient to be able to walk up right if you are a taller person!

A larger wheelbase means that the front two tires and the back tires are farther apart than the standard model. They added 30 inches (2.5 ft) to the standard version. This allows the floor of the Sprinter van to increase in size because it sits on a larger chassis. 

Because of this addition, you get another 40.7 inches (3.39 ft) of bed length. This gives you the maximum cargo space in the sprinter to design whatever you want back there!

  • Standing Height: 79.1 inches (6.59 ft) 
  • Cargo Bed Length: 173.6 inches (14.46 ft)
  • Floor Width in Cargo Area: 70.4 inches (5.86 ft)
  • Width at Wheel Wells: 53.1 inches (4.42 ft)
  • Height to Cargo Floor: 27.5 inches (2.29 ft)
  • Estimated Cargo Volume: 318 cubic feet 

If you want your Sprinter Van to be an adventure mobile the 170 inch wheelbase does sound nice but there is one thing to think about. Think about the break-over angle. 

With a larger wheelbase comes a smaller breakover angle. So that means that your Sprinter will hit many more things on the road if you intend to take it off the pavement. It could even result in scraping some speed bumps or driveways too!

How To Know If A Mercedes Sprinter Van Has A High Roof?

The easiest way to tell if a Mercedes Sprinter Van has a high roof is to check to see how much of a difference there is from the windows to the top of the Van. If there is a significant change around 1’ from the windows to the top then it is a high roof. 

Also, you will notice a lot more body to the vehicle above the windows and notice a trim line in the paneling. That is the quickest way to know if that Van has a high roof. Check out the comparison photos above.
