New 2026 Mercedes Sprinter 144 AWD // Cirque by Vertical Vans

Cirque is a new, professionally engineered AWD adventure vehicle for a couple whose trips revolve around biking, skiing, climbing and spending extended time in the mountains.

Modern white oak cabinetry, taupe fabrics, and matte-black details create a space that feels clean and considered without feeling delicate. Underneath it is the same practical foundation we have developed through 9 years of building, traveling, and living in vans across the West, through summer heat, winter storms, and everything between.

A professionally engineered Victron lithium power system supports the comforts that make extended travel easier. From your induction cooktop, to heating, air conditioning, and everyday electronics, you can even bring along an air fryer and espresso machine. The rear garage is built around the equipment the trip is really about, with room for bikes, skis, climbing gear, and everything else you want along for the ride.

Every cabinet and structural component is designed in CAD, cut on our CNC, assembled in our Salt Lake City workshop, and finished by hand by skilled craftspeople and engineers. The result is a cohesive, thoughtfully designed interior with the precision and finish you notice every time you step inside.

Cirque is ready now as your Elevated Adventure Vehicle.
