We love to tout the luxury aspects of our Mercedes Sprinters, but the main reason we chose this vehicle for Buggy is it's unmatched safety profile.
Simply put, Mercedes Sprinters are the safest van on the market.
SAFETY FEATURES UNIQUE TO 2020 MERCEDES SPRINTERS
- Blind-Spot Assist- Despite large mirrors, panels vans still have enormous blind spots. As with many passenger cars, a symbol will illuminate on the Sprinter's side mirrors and an audible warning will sound when a vehicle enters a blind spot.
- Drive Away Assist. If an obstacle is near the van, the system detects the obstacle and keeps the vehicle speed to under 2 mph while sounding a warning for the driver to stop.
- Parking Assist with rearview camera. In narrow spaces with limited sight lines, surround- and bird's-eye-view cameras will help navigate the van with overlaid tracing lines of the vehicle's path—
- Downhill Speed Regulation- the DSR will use the cruise control to keep downhill speeds between 2 and 11 mph.
- Active Braking Assist- the system recognizes stopped vehicles in city conditions (up to 36 mph) and slower-moving vehicles at highway speeds (up to 62 mph) and will sound an alarm and slam on the brakes if the driver doesn't intervene with proper haste.
Mercedes-Benz's heritage of producing well-built luxurious passenger cars makes many forget that the automaker has also been manufacturing some of the best work vans for decades. The Sprinter's adaptability and versatility continue to make this a class-leading commercial van.
We understand that even the safest vans need qualified drivers behind the wheel. This is why we hire former Miami Dade, CDL-certified bus drivers who undergo thorough screenings and training before onboarding with Buggy.
Onwards,
The Buggy Team
