Midwest Automotive Designs.
The Builder Behind the Best
Luxury Sprinter Vans in America.
Mercedes-Benz approved. Building on the Sprinter platform since 2001. Hand-built in Elkhart, Indiana. Arbogast Sprinter is one of the top Midwest dealers in the country.
Midwest Automotive Designs is a premier Mercedes-Benz approved Sprinter van upfitter headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana. Building custom luxury vans since the Sprinter was introduced to the American market in 2001, Midwest has established itself as the gold standard in conversion craftsmanship, producing builds that rival private aviation in comfort, technology, and finish quality. Arbogast Sprinter is one of the top Midwest Automotive Designs dealers in the country.
Who Is Midwest Automotive Designs?
Not every conversion builder is created equal. In a market full of aftermarket upfitters producing varying levels of quality, Midwest Automotive Designs occupies a category of its own.
Midwest Automotive Designs transforms the engineering integrity of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans to an entirely new level of craftsmanship and innovation. No two conversion vans are exactly alike. Each is designed to meet a discerning owner's highest expectations for performance, comfort, and convenience.
Midwest Automotive Designs is a division of REV Group and has built a reputation for meticulous attention to detail and expert craftsmanship. Each van is hand-built to ensure top-tier quality and durability, making it a true investment piece. These are not vehicles that depreciate into irrelevance. They are built to last, built to hold value, and built to deliver a daily experience that justifies the investment every time you step inside.
Building Since
Over two decades building on the Sprinter platform since it launched in America.
Mercedes Approved
One of the only upfitters chosen by Mercedes-Benz as an approved Sprinter converter.
REV Group Division
Part of the REV Group, one of the leading specialty vehicle manufacturers in North America.
Why Mercedes-Benz Chose Midwest as an Approved Upfitter
This is not a small distinction. All Sprinter models are fabricated throughout Midwest's in-house seating, wood, paint, and engineering facilities that have been optimized for high quality standards. This level of craftsmanship is the reason Mercedes-Benz has chosen Midwest Automotive Designs as an approved upfitter of Sprinter vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz does not hand out approvals casually. Being a certified upfitter means Midwest's conversion process meets Mercedes-Benz standards for engineering integrity, safety, and vehicle performance. Buyers get the full backing of the Mercedes-Benz platform with a conversion built to match it.
What Makes Midwest Builds Different
Built In-House From Start to Finish
Most conversion builders outsource components. Midwest does not. With in-house engineers, designers, craftsmen, a custom seating division, and a wood processing department, Midwest delivers a level of integration and consistency that simply cannot be replicated through outsourced assembly. When the team building your seats, your cabinetry, and your interior is under the same roof as the team engineering the vehicle, the quality control is not a checkpoint. It is a culture.
Handcrafted Materials That Show
Each Sprinter is meticulously handcrafted with fine leathers, exotic wood trims, LED ambient lighting, and plush seating. Step inside a Midwest build and the difference is immediate. The stitching is precise. The wood veneer is fitted without gaps. The leather has weight and texture. These are not materials chosen for cost efficiency. They are chosen for longevity, feel, and the unmistakable impression they make on everyone who rides inside.
Technology That Integrates Rather Than Intrudes
Midwest does not bolt on technology as an afterthought. Midwest conversion vans are outfitted with high-definition entertainment systems, integrated Wi-Fi, touchscreen controls for lighting, climate, and multimedia settings, and advanced navigation systems. Everything is designed to work together as a system, not as a collection of add-ons competing for dashboard space.

How Midwest Compares to Other Builders
| Capability | Midwest Automotive Designs | Other Builders |
|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz Approved Upfitter | Yes | Varies |
| In-House Seating Division | Yes | Rarely |
| In-House Wood Processing | Yes | Rarely |
| In-House Engineering Team | Yes | Sometimes |
| Hand-Built Construction | Yes | Varies |

The in-house capabilities are the critical differentiator. When a builder controls every component of the conversion process, quality is not a goal. It is a standard.
