Klassen's Sprinter conversion challenges Rolls‑Royce pricing
The luxury vehicle market keeps pushing boundaries, and Klassen's custom Mercedes Sprinter proves that a van can compete with high-end SUVs and coachbuilt limousines. Priced at around $630,000 and sold new through Hollmann International, this bespoke Sprinter is reportedly more expensive than several Rolls‑Royce models — but its real selling point is the cabin, which feels closer to a private jet than a commercial van.
Interior: a moving private office
Step inside and the Sprinter sheds any idea of a cargo van. The Klassen conversion focuses on passenger comfort and privacy with individual seats that offer massage, heating and ventilation. Ambient lighting, foldaway tables, two large displays, a small minibar, an integrated iPad dock and a starlit headliner transform travel into a lounge-like experience. Electric curtains and specialized acoustic insulation preserve calm and discretion, ideal for executives or owners who want a mobile office.
Highlights:
- Bespoke, jet-like cabin with luxury seating
- Ambient lighting, foldable work surfaces, minibar
- Starlit ceiling, electric curtains, soundproofing
Under the skin: drivetrain and economy
Under the hood, Klassen retains a 2.0-liter turbodiesel producing about 190 hp, compliant with Euro 6D emissions rules. Despite the van's added weight and lavish fittings, reported combined fuel consumption sits near 12.3 L/100 km — modest for a vehicle in this category.
Market positioning and what it means
This Sprinter appeals to a niche of buyers who prioritize interior luxury and personalization over traditional luxury marque badges. While Rolls‑Royce symbolizes classic hand-built opulence, Klassen’s approach is about creating a tailored, functional environment for travel — a rolling private jet or mobile office. Offered as a zero-kilometer vehicle by Hollmann International, it represents the growing demand for high-end conversions in the luxury automotive segment.
Whether viewed as a competitor to luxury SUVs or a new category of coachbuilt vehicles, the Klassen Sprinter shows how far van conversions have come in comfort, technology and exclusivity.
