Although best known for its luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz is also responsible for a number of vans and commercial vehicles, many of which serve as an excellent basis for an alternative luxury vehicle. As is the case with our featured Sprinter, using a van as the basis for a luxury vehicle means you get a lot more space to play with. This California-based 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 144 High Top is a stylish way to transport ten passengers besides the driver. With four rows of seats and a heavily upgraded cabin, this could be the perfect luxury wagon for you. And with low-range and four-wheel-drive, its utility is second to none.
