Overview

In the world of cargo vans, the 2018 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 $29,950. 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 Convenience Package, the Driver Comfort Package, or the Driver Efficiency 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. 

Buying Advice

Compared to the other Metris Worker Cargo Van model, the Metris Cargo Van is filled with more features and it also allows access to way more optional packages such as the Cold Weather Package, the Lane Keeping Assist Package, and the Blind Spot Assist Package. That said, a 9-inch longer wheelbase is also offered.
