Starting in July, Sehwa Automobile plans to introduce the 11-seat Sprinter Divine3 and the 13-seat Sprinter Divine5, large premium limousines customized from these base models.

Sehwa Automobile planned and designed the customized specifications according to the needs of large premium van customers. In particular, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Divine customized by Sehwa Automobile uses aluminum structures for the vehicle floor material instead of the existing steel structures, achieving vehicle weight reduction and expected fuel efficiency improvement.

Additionally, it is explained that the vehicle audio system developed in-house is applied to satisfy the tastes and senses of not only the driver but all passengers.

Sehwa Automobile has newly established Dine, a Sprinter sales corporation, to start customer sales with a more professional process. A new Sprinter showroom will be opened in the metropolitan area.

The Sprinter vehicles converted by Sehwa Automobile can be found through the sales corporation Dine. Besides the large premium limousines, Sehwa Automobile will also sell hearses converted from the New Sprinter base vehicles starting in July this year, and plans to introduce children's school buses within the year.
