Overview

In the world of cargo vans, the 2019 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 RAM Promaster City Cargo Van, the Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van, and the Nissan NV1500. Pricing starts at around MSRP $30,700 with a standalone trim on offer. 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 a longer wheel-base option, the Driver Comfort Package, the Utility Package, or the Premium Safety w/Parktronic Package, improving either form or function. Delivering a combined MPG of 22, the 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 engine 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

For a no-nonsense cargo van with good bells and whistles on offer, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo Van is an ideal choice. Available in a single trim and two wheelbase options, we would recommend you to go with the extended 135” wheelbase option along with the Utility Package. The former costs an additional $500 whereas the latter adds $3,365 to the base price.
