2025 MERCEDES ESPRINTER VS FORD ETRANSIT

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter is presented as the premium, albeit significantly more expensive, electric commercial van option compared to the Ford E-Transit. While the eSprinter boasts a larger 115 kWh battery offering a potential city range of up to 500 km in ideal conditions, its base price starts at $97,000 CAD, escalating to nearly $118,000 with options. The reviewer highlights its spaciousness, comfortable ride, and useful features like LED lighting and electrically assisted soft-close doors, though many desirable features are costly options. The vehicle's performance is adequate with its 200 hp motor, even in Eco mode, and it feels stable on the highway despite its tall profile. However, the interior is noted for significant road noise and a lack of standard advanced driver aids like adaptive cruise control, which are found on the less expensive Ford. The reviewer concludes that while the eSprinter is a capable and practical van, its high price point makes the Ford E-Transit a more compelling value proposition for most businesses, especially considering the Ford's lower starting price and available discounts.
