, Honda Odyssey, Kia Carnival, and Toyota Sienna, the rear-drive Metris forgoes the family-friendly appeal of those vehicles. With a starting sum of more than $35,000, the entry-level Metris includes two seats and an open cargo area with 182.9 cubic feet of space . That’s a good deal more than the 127.4 cubic feet of space offered by the long-wheelbase Transit Connect cargo van that stickers for around $33,000.reports that Mercedes delivered a mere 60,000 Metrises in the U.S. since 2015.
Nor has the Metris passenger van found many fans, with the approximately $40,000 model that offers up to eight seats lacking many of the niceties of similarly sized minivans, such as a fold-flat third-row of seats or a rear entertainment system. Commercial shoppers, meanwhile, were likely letdown by the Metris's limited seating capacity, which trails that of larger full-size passenger van models.
Even so, we’ll mourn the loss of the Metris Getaway camper van . Like other Metris models, the Getaway’s high base price—more than $65,000—likely limited its appeal. Nevertheless, it was the sole camper van sold by an OEM in the United States. The Metris’s demise reportedly spells the end for Mercedes’s turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that, along with the Metris, also serves as the gas-powered engine option in the bigger Sprinter. As such, 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter models with internal combustion engines are set to come standard with the model's. A battery-electric eSprinter is due to join the full-size van line in the near future, as well.
