Ask how many seats are in a Sprinter and you'll get different answers depending on who you ask, because Mercedes sells the same van in several trims and independent converters build dozens more. The practical range is 2 to 15 seats, with 12 being the most common passenger configuration in the US.
This page gives the quick reference, then explains how wheelbase and roof height affect what a given seat count actually feels like inside.

Quick reference
- Cargo Sprinter — 2
- Crew Sprinter — 5

- Extended shuttle — 15
- Executive conversion — 7 to 12
- Luxury conversion — 7 to 10
Wheelbase and roof height matter as much as seat count
Two 12-seat Sprinters can feel completely different. A high-roof, long-wheelbase van gives standing headroom and a luggage bay; a standard-roof, short-wheelbase one gives neither. When you compare quotes, check roof height and wheelbase alongside the seat number.
Match the count to the trip
- Airport transfer with bags — 12 seats and a real rear bay
- Campus or hotel shuttle — 15 seats, short runs, minimal luggage
- Client and executive travel — 7 to 10 seats with a table
- Wedding party — 12 to 15 depending on dresses and gear
