![]() ![]() WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph. > Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. > Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width. > The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to winter tires. A winter season is defined as six months. 12,000 kilometres driven per winter is estimated from annual average kilometres driven in Canada per vehicle by Desrosiers Automotive Consultants. (4) Based on third-party longevity tests, in North Finland between October 2019 and January 2020, on a Volkswagen ® Golf 1.5 TSI comparing the MICHELIN ® X-Ice ® SNOW tire versus BRIDGESTONE ® Blizzak WS-90, CONTINENTAL ® Viking Contact 7, NOKIAN ® Hakkappeliitta R3, GOODYEAR ® UltraGrip Ice 2, Pirelli ® Ice Zero FR in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL. (3) Based on: (1) internal hydroplaning longitudinal acceleration test performed in France in March 2019, on a Volkswagen ® Golf 7 comparing the MICHELIN ® X-Ice ® SNOW tire versus MICHELIN ® X-ICE ® Xi3 in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL and on: (2) internal hydroplaning curve test performed in Japan in February 2019, on an AUDI ® A4, comparing the MICHELIN ® X-Ice ® SNOW tire versus MICHELIN ® X-ICE ® Xi3 in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL. (2) Based on third-party snow traction tests comparing the MICHELIN ® X-Ice ® SNOW tire (size 235/45R18) against the Nokian ® Hakkapeliitta RS EV tire (235/45R18), the Bridgestone ® WS90 tire (235/45R18), and the Pirelli ® Sottozero 3 tire (235/40R19). Pricing for the 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter remains to be confirmed, but that should come as the winter commercial launch approaches.(1) New, at 10,000 km, and when worn to 4 mm and 2 mm tread depth, the MICHELIN ® X-Ice ® SNOW tire offers shorter snow and ice stopping distances on average than its predecessor, based on third-party snow braking test (between 35 km/h and 5 km/h) and ice braking test (between 30 km/h and 5 km/h), in December 2019 and January 2020: (1) on a Volkswagen ® Golf 1.5 TSI comparing the MICHELIN ® X-Ice ® SNOW tire versus MICHELIN ® X-ICE ® Xi3 in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL, and (2) on a Volkswagen ® Tiguan comparing the MICHELIN ® X-Ice ® SNOW SUV tire versus MICHELIN ® Latitude ® X-ICE ® Xi2 in tire size 235/55R19 105H XL. ![]() This technology provides drivers with a clear view behind the vehicle. Commercial customers in particular can activate their full fleet with advanced digital services.Īnother feature of the new Sprinter van involves safety, with a new camera installed at the back of the vehicle, which displays the image on the screen of the interior mirror. Mainly, there’s now Mercedes Me, a system of digital services (available for both Android and iOS devices) that can connect users, both commercial and private, to the van and makes easily accessible a host of information. ![]() Mercedes promises not just a tougher but also a more connected Sprinter for 2023, and one offering an enhanced user experience. The automatic torque can be split 50-50 per axle, as apposed to the previous system’s 65-percent rear bias. The new 9-speed transmission, meanwhile, comes standard on all versions, and according to Mercedes it helps deliver increased driving comfort, reduced fuel consumption, decreased noise levels, lower emissions, higher overall gear ratio and quicker downshifts allowing for agile acceleration.Īs for the new AWD, it replaces the old 4x4 system and boosts power and endurance and overall improved performance on difficult terrain, including snow and slush. Note that the base engine is unchanged, thus a gas-fed 2.0L 4-cylinder offering 188 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque with a rear-wheel-drive configuration. The automaker promises smoother acceleration, higher torque values, decreased emissions and lower noise and vibration levels from the new unit, which offers an output of either 168 hp or 208 hp, and either 295 lb-ft or 332 lb-ft of torque, depending on whether the configuration includes a single or a double turbo compressor. The 2.0L OM 654 diesel engine is familiar from use in Mercedes-Benz’ passenger vehicle lineup in Europe, and it’s part of a lineup of solely 4-cylinder engines, new for 2023. The new edition features, most notably, a new all-wheel-drive system, new 9G-TRONIC transmission, new 4-cylinder diesel engine and enhanced connectivity. The model will be available as of this winter. ![]() Mercedes-Benz Van Canada has announced the pending arrival of the revised 2023 Sprinter van for the Canadian market. ![]()
