A unique new offering
Brand new for 2016, the Mercedes-Benz Metris is an interesting and appealing vehicle, offering an alternative to other commercial cargo and passenger vans.

5 reasons to buy the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris
1. All-new model
The 2016 Metris proves that change is a good thing. It fills the gap as a smaller van option than full-size vans but bigger than small city options. It's also surprisingly maneuverable, as well as spacious, and practical in many ways. It’s an exciting option if you're looking for the Goldilocks option that's just the right size.
2. Useful, unique size
The interesting size and shape of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris is a good reason to check it out. Being bigger than a city van means you have plenty of cargo capacity and passenger space, but being smaller than a full-size van means it’s easier to drive. It has a maximum payload of 2,502 lbs (in the Cargo configuration) or 1,874 lbs (in the Passenger configuration).
3. Powerful engine
The engine is another area where the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris shines. Each version comes with a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 208 hp. This power gives you plenty of practicality but also achieves an EPA-estimated 22 combined mpg for both the Cargo and Passenger versions.
4. Driver aids
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris comes with a good number of driver aids to give you more peace of mind while driving. It has stability control and crosswind assist which help make it feel planted, despite its size, as well as side curtain airbags (full-length ones for the Passenger version), and a driver inattention warning system. To take this further, look out for a model with available driver-assist package, which includes blind spot warning, lane departure alert, and collision prevention systems.
5. Roomy runaround
Ultimately, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris is a spacious, maneuverable vehicle with a lot of utility for your daily needs. The seats are comfortable and roomy, and while the Passenger version’s rear seats aren’t as well padded as you’d find in a minivan, they’re ideal for transporting people on shorter trips. The seating position is very upright and the extra space you get from a van adds to the comfort level, while making moving around easy. All of these aspects make the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris the ideal runaround.
