Which Metris does Edmunds recommend?
Edmunds' Expert Review
Overall rating
7.6 / 10If there's a Goldilocks zone for work vans, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris may have found that "just-right" size. It's slightly larger than its main small-van rivals, but it's not as big as a traditional full-size van. The result is a maneuverable vehicle for navigating dense metropolitan streets that can still carry a surprising amount of people or cargo.
If you're hauling people, the Metris Passenger has up to eight seats. For mobile services, goods and delivery, the Metris Cargo and its blank-slate interior have all the flexibility you need. For even more versatility, the Cargo is also available in a long-wheelbase version. The Metris is rather expensive for the class, but there is a Worker version that shaves about $4,000 off the as-new MSRP in exchange for fewer features and customization possibilities. Overall, we like the Metris and recommend it highly for commercial users.
Mercedes-Benz Metris models
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris is available in four versions and can be outfitted for cargo duty (with a completely open space behind the front bucket seats) or as a five-, seven- or eight-seat passenger van. The Metris Cargo is the one with an expansive cargo area, while the Passenger fills that space with two rows of seating. There are also Worker Cargo and Worker Passenger versions that cost less than their non-Worker counterparts in exchange for a shorter list of available features. An extended-wheelbase version is offered for the Metris Cargo only.
Powering the Metris is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (208 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque) that drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include 17-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, remote locking and unlocking, air conditioning, wheel-mounted shift paddles, Bluetooth, and a five-speaker audio system with a USB port.
Some additional standard features depend on which Metris you buy. A 5.8-inch color screen is included on standard models and optional on Worker models, which otherwise come with a simple monochrome display. Passenger and Worker Passenger models also get a rearview mirror, rear air conditioning and a nine-speaker audio system. All Metris vans have sliding rear doors. Farther back, you'll find 270-degree swing-out rear cargo doors standard on the Metris Cargo. All others get 180-degree rear cargo doors.
The list of available option packages for Worker Cargo is relatively short. You can get the Convenience package (automatic wipers, heated mirrors, a rearview camera, cruise control, the color display, and LED cargo area lighting) and the Utility package (Convenience package plus roof rails, a rearview mirror, a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, a driver information display, a heated rear window, blind-spot monitoring, rails on the cargo floor and sides, and tie-downs).
On the Worker Passenger, there's also the Appearance package (Convenience package plus alloy wheels, body-colored bumpers, roof rails, a rear liftgate instead of the swing-out cargo doors, a heated rear window, and simulated leather upholstery) and Comfort package (all contents of the Utility and Appearance packages plus power-sliding rear doors).
Options are broken apart into more cost-effective packages in the Cargo and Passenger models, allowing buyers to mix and match the features they want. Notable combinations include the Cold Weather package (heated front seats, a heated windshield washer system and an upgraded heater), the Premium Safety with Parktronic package (Utility package plus lane departure warning, forward collision warning, parking sensors and automated parallel parking), and the Driver Comfort package (a comfort-tuned suspension and upgraded seats with lumbar support).
Many of the options listed above are offered as stand-alone choices, as are a trailer hitch, rear privacy glass, chrome interior trim and a backup alarm. Mercedes' MasterUpfitter program allows buyers to further customize Metris Cargo vans to their business needs.

Most helpful consumer reviews
I am a very busy Contractor. My Metris cargo van weighs 5580 lbs. with all my tools, ladders and steel tool cabinets. The GVWR is 6614 Lbs. this allows me to load a lot of material and never have to worry about overloading it’s capacity. The engine is outstanding and has plenty of power to spare. The van also has an amazing turning radius. I bought the van pretty close to base model. The only options I chose were cargo interior panels, wood flooring, trailer hitch and a driver convenience package. Price was $30,000. I added an aftermarket roof rack and after a small modification, the van fits in my 7’ garage with two full size extension ladders. I previously owned a Ram Promaster City, and with the fore mentioned weight I felt that I was torturing it. I traded it in with 30k miles before I ruined it. The Metris does require 91 octane fuel, but the way it performs, I will treat it to anything it asks. I LOVE THIS METRIS!!
My boss bought 2 Metris vans. A 2018 and a 2019. The 2019 has 20k, so far, the roof vibrates real bad, added ladder racks, which dealer said would stop the noise. It didn't. Tires are bald. At under 15k it's check oil light came on. Was 2 quarts low, which the dealer said was normal. At under 15k, the van started to cut out, and check engine light came on. Miss fire cylinder 1. Dealer replaced plug coil. Ok for 4 k. Now check engine light on again. Miss fire on cylinder 1. As for the 2018, eating tires, and alignment issues.steering problems. Until yesterday. The van caught fire and is total loss.
Hands down if you want a work van this is it, I have the long wheel base high top 3500 sprinter I love it but I bought a metris to try out before replacing my small fleet , love the metris it's just big enough I find myself carrying tools I need vs carry every tool I have I have 45k miles milage ranges 22 to 27 with ladder rack and 1800 to 2k payload drives like a car , at the end of the day I don't feel like Tyson has used my back and kidneys as a punching bag, great van!
The Metris is like a trash container Don’t buy this car I have one of this and I have so many problems You can’t compare this with Chevrolet and Ford I’ll never buy Mercedes (=trash can) ago Don’t throw your money on this car just buy a bike

Mercedes-Benz Metris vs. the competition
Mercedes-Benz Metris vs. Ford Transit Connect
The Ford Transit Connect is quite a bit smaller than the Metris but packs in a lot of useful features. For 2019, the Transit Connect is even more attractive thanks to new gasoline and diesel engines, standard advanced safety features, and the inclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As a maneuverable yet practical little van, the Transit comes in a variety of configurations to suit your particular needs.
Mercedes-Benz Metris vs. Nissan NV200
The Nissan NV200 gets high marks for its fuel efficiency, but it comes at the expense of power. The NV200's small size does make it easier to maneuver, and the low load floor ensures that loading bulky cargo is easy. Holding this Nissan back are long braking distances and some interior materials that seem cheap, even for the class.
Mercedes-Benz Metris vs. Ram Promaster City
The Ram ProMaster City is closer in size to the Metris than the smaller entries in the class and benefits from a large and versatile cargo hold. On top of that, the ProMaster's 2.4-liter engine provides decent power and fuel economy. In the Metris' favor are its more secure handling and wider array of optional features.

Should I lease or buy a 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
