Mercedes-Benz has confirmed pricing for the fully-electric eSprinter panel van.

The new model is priced from £51,950 (ex VAT) and is eligible for a grant of up to £8,000.

It is available in front-wheel-drive L2 H2 configuration only with a choice of two variants: one offering standard DC 20kW fast charging, meaning vehicle can be charged in 120 mins (10-80%), the other DC 80kW (+£525) charging, meaning it can be charged in 30 mins (10-80)%.

The battery provides a range of up to 96 miles.

As standard, the eSprinter includes a heated seat for the driver with armrest, dual passenger seat, Tempmatic air conditioning, 75mph speed limiter, headlight assistant and 270-degree double-wing rear-end doors.

In addition to DAB radio, the Mercedes-Benz audio system comes with a Bluetooth interface with hands-free function and a USB port.

Safety systems include Active Brake Assist, Attention Assist, Crosswind Assist and Emergency eCall.

Mercedes PRO connect, which is free for the first two years, ensures real-time vehicle management that enables scheduling, efficient route mapping, and assesses the battery charge levels and range of an entire fleet at a glance.

The remote eCharging function enables drivers to programme cooling or heating while their van is still charging, to ensure optimal comfort from the moment they step in the vehicle while conserving battery and maximising driving range.

Load space remains uncompromised, at 11 cubic metres, thanks to the configuration of the batteries under the floor. The van has a maximum payload of 774Kg.
