About This Dealership

The Premier Midwest Automotive Designs Dealer for Chicago and the Midwest

Mercedes-Benz of Hoffman Estates is one of a select group of authorized dealers in the country to carry the full Midwest Automotive Designs lineup. We stock and custom-order the Luxe Cruiser, Passage, G45, G55, Athletic Series, Business Class, Professional Series, and Executive Shuttle — every van Midwest builds on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platform.

Midwest Automotive Designs is based in Elkhart, Indiana, which places us closer to the factory than almost any major metro dealer in the country. That proximity means faster custom order turnarounds, direct relationships with Midwest's build team, and the ability to get accurate lead times and build status on any order we place on your behalf.

We are not a general-purpose dealership that happens to carry a few conversion vans in the back corner of the lot. Midwest Automotive Designs conversions are a core part of what we do. Our van specialists have the product knowledge to walk you through every floor plan, every option package, every power system, and every interior palette in the lineup — and the relationships to get your custom build built correctly, on time, and to spec.

Why Buy Here

What Sets Mercedes-Benz of Hoffman Estates Apart for Midwest Buyers

Closest Major Dealer to the Midwest Factory

Midwest Automotive Designs builds every van in Elkhart, Indiana. Our location in Hoffman Estates places us closer to the factory than any other major metro dealer — which means faster delivery, easier in-person visits during the build process, and direct communication with the build team.

In-Stock Inventory Across Multiple Models

We carry Midwest conversions in stock rather than relying exclusively on custom orders. If you want to see, sit in, and drive a Luxe Cruiser or Passage before you commit to a custom build, we have inventory you can experience in person at our Hoffman Estates showroom.

Full Custom Order Capability

Our van specialists are trained on every option, package, interior palette, stitch pattern, and power configuration in the Midwest lineup. We place orders directly with the factory and manage the process from deposit to delivery — with regular build status updates throughout.

Nationwide Delivery

We deliver Midwest Automotive Designs conversions to buyers across all 50 states. Many of our Midwest conversion customers never set foot in our showroom — they configure via phone or email, receive photos and video of the completed vehicle, and take delivery at their door.

Mercedes-Benz Warranty and Service

Every Midwest conversion is backed by the Mercedes-Benz chassis warranty through our dealership — 3 years and 36,000 miles on the vehicle, 5 years and 100,000 miles on the drivetrain — in addition to Midwest's own 3-year, 36,000-mile conversion warranty. We service both.

Mercedes-Benz eXpert Upfitter Authorization

Midwest Automotive Designs holds Mercedes-Benz eXpert Upfitter certification — one of very few conversion manufacturers in the US to hold this status. It requires full compliance with all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and maintains the structural integrity of the original Sprinter chassis.

About the Manufacturer

Who Is Midwest Automotive Designs?

Midwest Automotive Designs was founded in 2000 in Elkhart, Indiana with a single mission: to bring private-jet-quality craftsmanship to the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platform. The company debuted at the 2001 SEMA Show in Las Vegas with two models — the Business Class and the Weekender — and in doing so launched the entire luxury Sprinter conversion category as it exists today.

Over the following two decades, Midwest became the first Quality Approved upfitter for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter in the United States, introduced the Freedom Package — the first lithium battery system to eliminate propane gas from a Class B RV — and built over 20,000 luxury conversions across every major product line. The Passage, Luxe Cruiser, G Series, Athletic Series, Business Class, Professional Series, and Executive Shuttle are all products of that 25-year heritage.

In February 2026, Alliance RV — one of the fastest-growing luxury towable RV manufacturers in North America — acquired Midwest Automotive Designs from Terex Corporation. Midwest continues to operate as a separate business unit within Alliance, with manufacturing remaining in Elkhart and all product lines continuing unchanged.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Midwest Automotive Designs Van

How long does a custom Midwest Automotive Designs order take?
Build times vary by model and current factory capacity. Typically 12 to 20 weeks from order placement to delivery. Our van specialists will provide a current lead time estimate when you place your order. We provide build status updates throughout the process.
Can I visit the Midwest factory during the build process?
Yes. Midwest Automotive Designs welcomes buyers to visit the Elkhart, Indiana factory. Our location makes this more practical than from most major metro areas — the factory is approximately 130 miles from our Hoffman Estates showroom, or about a two-hour drive.
What is the Mercedes-Benz eXpert Upfitter certification?
Mercedes-Benz eXpert Upfitter is a certification program that authorizes select manufacturers to modify the Sprinter chassis while maintaining full compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and preserving the Mercedes-Benz structural warranty. Midwest Automotive Designs is one of the few conversion manufacturers in the US to hold this certification, which means all Midwest-converted vehicles retain their full Mercedes-Benz drivetrain warranty.
Does the Mercedes-Benz warranty cover the Midwest conversion?
The Mercedes-Benz chassis warranty (3 years/36,000 miles) and drivetrain warranty (5 years/100,000 miles) cover the Sprinter platform on every Midwest conversion because of Midwest's eXpert Upfitter certification. Midwest also provides its own 3-year/36,000-mile conversion warranty covering the upfit components. Both warranties are serviced through our dealership.
Do you offer financing on Midwest Automotive Designs conversions?
Yes. We offer financing through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services and third-party lenders for Midwest conversion purchases. Terms depend on buyer qualifications. Many Midwest conversions also qualify for Section 179 business tax deduction in the year of purchase — ask our finance team for details specific to your situation.
Can you deliver a Midwest van to me anywhere in the country?
Yes. We deliver Midwest Automotive Designs conversions to buyers in all 50 states. We can coordinate enclosed transport for maximum protection or open transport for cost efficiency. Many of our customers configure and purchase entirely by phone and email and take delivery at their home or business.
