Overview

In the world of cargo vans, the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo Van is a well-known name. Belonging to the midsize van segment, the Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo Van competes with the Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van, the RAM Promaster City Cargo Van, and the Nissan NV200. With standalone trim, the Metris Cargo Van carries an MSRP of $28,950. Traditionally offered bareboned, cargo vans can be equipped to fill the need of the buyer. The Metris Cargo Van too can be equipped with packages such as the Premium Safety Package, the Driver Comfort Package, or the Refrigeration Prep Package, improving either form or function. Delivering a combined MPG of 22, the 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 on offer here feels potent enough. It is mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission and makes 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and carries a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. 

Buying Advice

Unlike some rivals, the Metric Cargo Van doesn’t offer an extended wheelbase option. Having said that, some other available packages on offer include Cold Weather Package, Blind Spot Assist Package, Multi-Function Steering/Premium Display Package, and more.
