How tall is the interior of a Sprinter H2?

The interior standing height of a Sprinter H2 is typically about 77 inches (roughly 196 cm), though the exact figure can vary by year, trim, and any aftermarket or factory-installed ceiling modifications.


What the height figures mean for everyday use


Mercedes-Benz classifies Sprinter vans by roof height, with H1 as standard, H2 as high roof, and H3 as super high roof. The numbers below refer to the highest interior point inside the cargo area or cabin, not including floor mats or added insulation.



  • Standard Roof (H1): approximately 65 inches (165 cm) of interior height.

  • High Roof (H2): approximately 76–78 inches (193–199 cm) of interior height, with typical figures around 77 inches (196 cm).

  • Super High Roof (H3): approximately 82 inches (208 cm) of interior height or more, depending on year and configuration.


These values provide a general guide for standing room and head clearance. For precise planning, verify the exact interior height on the specific vehicle model year and configuration you’re considering, as there can be slight variations.


How wheelbase and year can affect interior height


While the roof height classification (H1, H2, H3) sets the baseline, small differences can occur across wheelbases and model years due to floor design, headliner profiles, and optional equipment. Here’s what to know:



  • Short wheelbase (SWB) vs. long wheelbase (LWB) H2 configurations generally share the same roof height, but floor contours can shift perceived headroom slightly.

  • Model-year updates may tweak headliner shapes or insulation thickness, causing minor changes in measured height by a few millimeters to a centimeter or two.

  • Aftermarket conversions (e.g., bulkheads, climate control enhancements, or overhead storage) can reduce usable standing height by a small amount.


If precise headroom is critical for your use case—such as planning tall shelving, roll cages, or certain conversion layouts—check the official spec sheet for your exact VIN or measure the interior at the vehicle’s tallest point.


Practical considerations for conversions and daily use


For conversion projects and daily operation, interior height informs how you design storage, sleeping platforms, and overhead cabinets. The H2’s standing height is comfortable for most adults, but consider ceiling curvature near the sides and any added insulation or panels that could trim usable headroom. Always plan with the highest possible point in mind to avoid collisions with ceiling fixtures or rack systems.


Summary


The Sprinter H2 typically offers about 77 inches (196 cm) of interior standing height, with standard H1 and H3 variants providing lower and higher headroom respectively. Exact numbers vary slightly by year, wheelbase, and optional equipment. For accurate planning, consult the official specifications for your specific van or measure the interior directly.

What is the difference between H1 and H2 Sprinter?


Both front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive models of the medium-wheelbase Sprinter are 5932mm long. The H1 variation has a height of 2351 mm; the H2 has a height of 2638 mm for FWD models and 2630 mm for RWD vans. Every van is 2020mm wide.



What is the interior height of the Mercedes Sprinter?


Sprinter van interior height varies significantly depending on the roof type and model, but the high-roof models have the tallest standing height, ranging from approximately 75.5 to 79.1 inches (about 6 ft, 3 in to 6 ft, 7 in). The standard-roof models have a lower interior height, typically around 65.3 to 67.7 inches (about 5 ft, 5 in to 5 ft, 8 in).
 
High-roof models

  • Maximum standing height: Up to 79.1 inches (about 6 ft, 7 in) for some high-roof cargo and Crew Van models. 
  • Seating: Some Passenger Van high-roof models can have a standing height of up to 75.5 inches (about 6 ft, 3 in). 
  • Benefit: Allows for comfortable standing and moving around inside the van. 

Standard-roof models
  • Interior standing height: Approximately 67.7 inches (about 5 ft, 8 in) for standard-roof cargo vans. 
  • Lower models: Some standard-roof Crew Van models can have a standing height of 65.3 inches (about 5 ft, 5 in). 
  • Benefit: Lower overall profile, which can be more practical for certain parking situations and driving conditions.
