How many seats a Sprinter van has depends entirely on which version left the upfitter. Mercedes builds cargo vans with two seats, crew vans with five, and passenger vans with up to twelve. Independent converters build everything else: fifteen-seat shuttles at one end and seven-seat executive lounges at the other.
Below is the full range with the practical trade-offs each layout brings — because the difference between a 12 and a 15 isn't three seats, it's your entire luggage bay.

Seat count by trim
- Cargo — 2 seats in the cab, empty box behind
- Crew — 5 seats, second row with cargo area behind it
- Passenger — up to 12 seats in three or four bench rows
- Shuttle — 15 seats on an extended wheelbase
- Executive — 7 to 12 captain's chairs with a table
- Luxury / Maybach-class — 7 to 10 lounge positions
Why the answer changes so much
Sprinter seats bolt to full-length floor rails, so the number of seats is a decision the upfitter makes, not a fixed property of the van. Two vans with identical exteriors can seat 7 and 15 respectively.
How to be sure what you're getting
Ask for the seat count and a photo taken from the rear doors facing forward. That single image shows the row count, the aisle, and how much space is left behind the last row. Every quote we send includes both.
