Updated Oct 1, 2026 from NHTSA data · Reviewed by Ivanna Verstliar
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 15 enters the market with a Weak Safety Index of 42/100, largely due to a significant gap in its safety profile. A 1-star rollover rating from NHTSA is a specific point of concern. Further, federal crash-test data for the vehicle remains notably incomplete, with most key categories lacking published scores. While the absence of any recalls for this model year is a positive signal, it does not fully offset the other deficiencies in its safety evaluation.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 15 Passenger Van holds a 1-out-of-5-star NHTSA rollover rating and a NHTSA Safety Index of 42/100, sourced from federal NHTSA data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 15?
The 2024 model year for this van registers a Safety Index of 42/100, placing it in the Weak band for the second consecutive year. This score reflects a one-point decrease from the 2023 model's 43/100. Unrated crash protection significantly contributes to this low overall score; crash protection contributes only 14 of a possible 70 points. This is a direct consequence of NHTSA not publishing ratings for overall, frontal, or side crash performance for this model year. The only available crash-test data point is a 1-star rollover result. The avoidance technology sub-score of 8.5 out of 10 indicates the inclusion of standard forward collision warning and electronic stability control. Lane departure warning remains an optional feature for this model year. The van's defect record is notably strong, earning 19 out of 20 points, supported by a clean record of zero recall campaigns. The disparity between this near-perfect defect record and the Weak overall Safety Index underscores the substantial impact of unrated crash protection on this model year's assessment.
