    The local arm of the three-pointed star automaker has unveiled the all-new Sprinter Inkanyezi – isiZulu for ‘the Star’ – which is a 23-seater that will be converted at the automaker’s East London conversion facility. 

    Advanced safety features 

    Mercedes-Benz Vans SA’s Head of Product and Marketing emphasised that the safety of drivers and passengers is paramount. As such the new Sprinter Inkanyezi is equipped with the latest safety features like robust seat anchorage system, standard adaptive brake lights. In an emergency, the normal brake light turns into a flashing brake light, which is proven to be more visible to other motorists than a conventional brake light. 

    Optional extras to bolster safety include Active Brake Assist, Active Distance Assist Distronic, Parking Assist and Lane Keeping Assist. Blind Spot Assist with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, a reversing camera with display in the interior rear-view mirror, ensures that the Inkanyezi is safe at all speeds and in all conditions. The optional parking package, with 360-degree camera, makes light work of tight parking spots, such as taxi ranks and other loading and off-loading areas.

    Functional interior 

    Getting in and out of the vehicle requires little effort, as the Inkanyezi is fitted with a side step as standard. A hard-wearing Marley floor provides an anti-slip surface and protects the van’s floors.

    The Inkanyezi features high quality vinyl seats which are durable and easy to clean and comfortable for drivers and passengers. The front cabin features a functional workspace for the driver and offers a relaxed environment for the front passenger too.

    Customers can opt for a multifunction steering wheel designed to conveniently operate the on-board computer. Various vehicle functions such as the state-of-the-art MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) multimedia system with a 10.25-inch touchscreen enhance the driver’s and passengers’ journey and includes route guidance.

    Performance

    Mercedes-Benz promise a powerful yet fuel-efficient 23-seater, which the automaker says is a combination that directly impacts profitability in the taxi industry. Powering the rear-wheel drive Inkanyezi 516 CDI is a 2-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine producing 120kW with peak torque of 330Nm, available between 1200 and 2200rpm. 

    Pricing

    The new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Inkanyezi 516 CDI is priced at R945,000 including VAT. The Inkanyezi’s service intervals are every 20,000 km, and the warranty is a comprehensive 2-year/unlimited kilometre offering.
