Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 415 CDI (W910): Overview

The Sprinter has become synonymous with reliability and adaptability in the commercial van segment. The W907/W910 generation, launched in 2018, brought significant advancements in technology, safety, and driver comfort. The Compact version, like the 415 CDI, is designed for urban environments where space is at a premium, offering a shorter wheelbase and overall length compared to standard Sprinter models. This makes it easier to navigate congested city streets while still providing a substantial cargo area. The 415 CDI model is particularly popular with businesses needing a dependable van for deliveries, tradespeople requiring a mobile workshop, and companies operating smaller-scale transport services.

Engine & Performance

The heart of the Sprinter 415 CDI is the OM 654 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder diesel engine. This engine produces 150 horsepower at 3800 rpm and 340 Nm (250.77 lb.-ft.) of torque between 1500 and 2400 rpm. The engine utilizes a diesel commonrail fuel injection system and a turbocharger with an intercooler to optimize performance and efficiency. Power per liter is rated at 76.9 hp/l, demonstrating a focus on extracting maximum power from a relatively small displacement. The engine is transversely mounted at the front of the vehicle. Power is delivered to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The Sprinter 415 CDI achieves a combined fuel consumption of 7.7 to 11.1 liters per 100 kilometers (30.5 to 21.2 US mpg, or 36.7 to 25.4 UK mpg), and CO2 emissions range from 202 to 290 g/km, meeting Euro 6d Gr.III emission standards. The weight-to-power ratio is 13 kg/hp, and the weight-to-torque ratio is 5.8 kg/Nm, indicating a reasonable balance between weight and performance.
