3-pointed star Sprinter ready to take on rivals headlong

Commercial vehicles are used by both individual and corporate fleet operators to make good returns on investment, helping their enterprises earn money. However, Weststar Associates Limited, franchise owners of Mercedes-Benz vehicles in Nigeria said it is offering much more with the Sprinter model.

The Sprinter is not just about transporting occupants and cargo; it is also about making the driver feel good as he drives it. The exterior impresses with unmistakable proportions, clear contours throughout, and a distinctive face.

The Sprinter scores big, among other things, with stylish design elements, a clear visual structure, and surfaces of high quality;a clear indication that Weststar is determined to offer the very best in the bus segment, and the Sprinter is definitely that.

With a drive-train designed for extensive corrosion prevention, long maintenance and oil change intervals, Sprinter is truly a long running success on the roads. It drives with a car-like simplicity and with low interior noise level. Its 258 horse power and 5900 rpm petrol engine delivers lots of power and torque.

The new 7G-tronic automatic transmission is the world’s first 7-speed automatic transmission with torque converter for vans. However, it has been enhanced in the Sprinter to meet the specific requirements imposed by vans thereby achieving low engine speed, low fuel consumption levels and minimum emissions.

The electronic stability program (ESP) is being constantly enhanced to incorporate increasingly sophisticated subsystems. And embodying the latest generation of Adaptive ESP, the Sprinter’s brakes respond even quicker and more effectively- thanks to two innovative brake disk wipe and electronic brake prefill functions. With these two innovations, the intelligent, load-dependent dynamic handling control system ESP provides optimum braking performance in critical situations.

This translates into enhanced safety for passengers as well as other road users.. In addition, the payload, more comfortable seats, high roof, maximum availability, low service costs and optimum superior quality of the Sprinter ensure that you definitely get what you paid for in terms of comfort, safety, luxury and style.

Also, its high quality and reliability make it a bundle of energy that is extremely well prepared for intensive use. The dealership offers a general two-year warranty or 200,000km, whichever comes first and the spare parts purchased from Weststar comes with a two-year warranty as well.

After undergoing tough and rigorous field testing, ‘The Van Fleet World Honours’ presented the Sprinter with the winning awards for ‘Safety’ and the ‘Best Van Fleet’ in 2013.
