Dodge Takes Care of Business With "Super-Sized" 2007 Sprinter

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Dodge rolled out something for its commercial customers today with the debut of a "super-sized" Sprinter commercial van that is longer, taller and wider than the vehicle it replaces.

The Sprinter's interior height gets stretched 11 inches, and the vehicle length grows 30 inches in the redesign. The Sprinter rides on two new wheelbases: 144 inches and 170 inches or 170 inches with a 15-inch-longer rear overhang.

The 2007 Sprinter is powered by a new standard 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel that delivers 154 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. An optional 3.5-liter V6 makes 254 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. All models are equipped with a standard five-speed automatic transmission.

Dodge said all models of the Sprinter get standard 16-inch wheels and standard rack-and-pinion power steering with a new height- and tilt-adjustable steering wheel. The automaker said new sliding cargo doors and rear doors have been developed for numerous versions of the '07 Sprinter. It also features a new "mega-roof" option that provides up to 7 feet of interior height. It comes with either fixed or opening skylights.

New standard features include power windows and locks, integrated wide-angle mirrors, halogen headlights, CD/radio and an adaptive electronic stability program. Upgraded options include a six-disc CD changer and hands-free telephone systems.

The exterior includes the signature Dodge crosshair grille and a selection of 20 exterior paint colors, which Dodge says is the largest variety available in the segment
