I found it very suprising. Under a Freightliner name, they sell the V class with a single choice of 2.7l TDI engine and 5spd auto transmission. Both cargo and pass version, 3 lenght, 2 heaight size, prices are from 29-36k USD before negotiating.

CHecfk them out, at the freightliner dealer. They have no MB decals , they say : Powered by Mercedes, yeah right, and also built and manufactured by MB.

Great Van. maybe my next choice.

Mpg is 22-32 average !!!! from a diesel fuel !!!! Awesome !

Vclass/ Sprinter

Just a correction. The Freightliner Sprinter in the USA is NOT the V-class, but the Sprinter.

V-class & Vito are FWD, about the size of a lwb minvan.

Sprinter is RWD, about the size of a full size van.

Vario is RWD and is UPS delivery sized.


Take a look at MB sites in europe under commerical vehicles, that should help clarify some things.

Thumbs up Sprinter in USA

If you check the Dodge homepage they have just added the sprinter to the Dodge truckline-up and heard they will be available this spring. Using MB 2.7 CDI motors and 5sp automatics. Will be interesting to see what the reaction is to them here in NA.
