An important consideration when shopping for a vehicle that will be driven, at times, in treacherous conditions is the wheel drive configuration. The ever-popular Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has usually been offered with either a rear 2WD or 4WD configuration. Beginning in 2019, production began on A4x4 all-wheel drive model. A configuration for front-wheel drive also became available in the same year. You'll probably often recognize these vans as the preferred choice for Amazon delivery fleets. Due to their versatility and efficiency, they are able to zip in and out of city streets while maintaining a high fuel economy. The front-wheel drive option has been promoted by the car maker as an entry-level vehicle. In more temperate climates, this version might be ideal.
