2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 15
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 15-passenger van occupies a demanding corner of the commercial vehicle market, built for shuttle fleets, church groups, hotels, and small businesses that need to move people in bulk. It is a full-size, high-roof capable van that prioritizes cargo and passenger volume over the kind of consumer-car refinements most drivers expect. Safety, given its occupant load, deserves serious scrutiny.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 15 earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 42 out of 100, an weak result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. No vehicle recalls are on file for this model year.

Reviewers generally regard the Sprinter 2500 as one of the most capable and well-engineered large passenger vans available, praising its build quality, driving dynamics relative to its class, and the breadth of configuration options. Most acknowledge, however, that its tall profile and commercial-use focus mean safety ratings lag behind what buyers would expect from a passenger-car product in the same price range.
