2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris

Price Estimate: $21,531 - $27,412

Mercedes-Benz Metris 126" WB Cargo Minivan Exterior

Average

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris is a sort of "cheat code" among small cargo vans. Its larger dimensions and Mercedes build quality help it easily lead the class where it counts: maximum payload and towing capacity. You'll pay significantly more up front and sacrifice fuel economy, but the Metris is in a class above when it comes to work capability and available features.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Alex Nishimoto

3/10/2022

In the U.S., we don't have the expansive selection of commercial vans that Europe enjoys. That makes the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris particularly appealing, as it's the only midsize option on the market. As such, the Metris offers more space than compact vans such as the Ram ProMaster City, but it isn't as big and unwieldy as full-size vans like the Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter.

The Metris is available in cargo and passenger configurations and can be converted into a pop-top camper van and more through third-party upfitters. Overall we recommend the Metris if you're looking to split the difference between small and big vans. Check out our Expert Rating to see if the Mercedes-Benz Metris is the right van for you.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Average

7.6

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8/10

How does the Metris drive? The Metris stands out on the road with its powerful engine and great braking performance. Its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine has a lot more character than rival engines, and it delivers good response that matches smooth shifts from the nine-speed automatic transmission. This van is well equipped for heavy work yet remains fun to drive.

The accuracy of the steering makes it less demanding to drive, which is key when lugging equipment around for hours a day. As to be expected, there is some body roll around turns, but the Metris keeps its composure and easily wheels around city streets. Be aware, though, that wind catches its upright stature despite the crosswind assist stability control.

Comfort

7/10

How comfortable is the Metris? The Metris is designed to handle the maximum amount of payload capacity possible, so it should come as no surprise that thin walls and little insulation detract from ride quality. An empty cargo area will flood with outside noise, and a full load isn't much better. There's not much getting around that in a van built for work.

But Mercedes-Benz did an impressive job everywhere else. The simple driver's seat is extremely comfortable with good support, and ride quality is great over cracks and ruts in the road. We also like the optional automatic climate control. The dials are simple, and if you set the temperature and lock the doors, it will automatically prep the cabin once you return and unlock the door.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? Accessibility is a strong point inside the Metris. It's easy to climb inside, slide onto the flat seat cushion, and reach the array of straightforward dials and controls. There isn't much seat adjustment, and the steering wheel doesn't telescope, but it does tilt up and down.

The van's two front seats offer ample room for passengers, with plenty of head and elbow space. A little more legroom would be nice. Visibility was a challenge in the Cargo Van version we tested. That's partially because it lacked rear windows, but we also found that the van's thick front roof pillars hampered the driver's ability to see through turns.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? Pleasingly, the Metris comes with many of the same technology features as SUVs and sedans. A basic but easy-to-read 7-inch touchscreen supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and navigation can be had as an option.

The standard crosswind assist system ensures the Metris stays on course during windy conditions, while the available adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking are welcome features for both the Cargo and Passenger versions. The available digital rearview mirror is also helpful as it can display a camera video feed of what's behind you even if your van's cargo area is full or the rear windows are blocked.

Storage

9/10

How’s the storage? The Metris stands out in storage and utility even among small vans. Payload and tow ratings are the highest you'll find in the segment. Maximum cargo space is also impressive.

Optional cargo area features include variable tie-downs, LED lighting, double sliding rear doors and roof rails. The rear doors can be configured to open 270 degrees wide or even as a vertical-opening hatch.

Fuel Economy

6/10

How’s the fuel economy? According to EPA estimates, the Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo Van is good for 22 mpg combined. Its peers do better. Mileage will vary based on cargo weight, of course. In mixed city and highway driving, we averaged 22 mpg over 430 miles, including 27 mpg on the 115-mile Edmunds evaluation loop.

Value

6.5/10

Is the Metris a good value? Mercedes relies on its three-pointed star and larger size for pricing, charging thousands more than competitors for similarly equipped vans. If you think of the Metris as a well-built van with Mercedes-Benz quality and a gutsy engine, and consider its impressive payload and towing capability a trade-off for middle-ground EPA ratings, it holds a lot of value. Otherwise one of the smaller, weaker, cheaper vans will work just fine.

Wildcard

8/10

In the bland world of cargo vans, a torquey engine gives the Metris more personality than you might expect. It's fun to swing around city street corners, and when it's time to punch in and get on the clock, the Metris can haul or tow more — by far — than other vans. It's comfortable and responsive, but the primary purpose is guts. And the Metris has plenty.

Which Metris trim does Edmunds recommend?

Don't let the three-point star on the hood fool you — the Metris is no luxury vehicle. To make driving one as hospitable as possible, we recommend getting the Driver Comfort package for its upgraded front seats with lumbar support. We also suggest speccing your Metris with the Premium Safety package, which gets you blind-spot monitoring, lane keeping assist and more.
