The Mercedes Metris carries over with minimal changes for 2021 while a 9-speed automatic transmission replaces the previous 7-speed.

The Mercedes Metris gets a mid-cycle refresh in 2020 with a new front fascia, additional safety features and a revised interior for this year. The lower bumper of the Metris now closely resembles other vehicles in Mercedes-Benz' lineup, with slightly softened lines and optional chromework. Inside, Mercedes-Benz has also tried to update the Metris to fit a little better with the rest of their lineup, with upgraded instrumentation and the automaker's 'turbine' style air vents. On the safety front, an improved emergency braking system is better able to detect pedestrians, while the adaptive high beams have also been improved for 2020.

The Mercedes-Benz Metris provides even more versatility heading into the new 2019 model year, adding a longer wheelbase version on the cargo van. With an additional nine inches of length it's even better at transporting whatever owners might need to move from place to place. Drivers are now also treated to power-adjustable front seats and automatic start/stop as standard features. A front lighting package is optional in addition to full-length plastic paneling on the extended wheelbase versions only.

The Metris remains fundamentally unchanged for the 2018 model year, however a new longer wheelbase version is expected to launch in the near future. The long wheelbase version will only be available on the cargo van, but with an additional nine inches of length, it should be even better at transporting whatever owners might need to move from place to place.

Following its debut in 2016, the Mercedes-Benz Metris van is largely unchanged, though a base trim level, the Worker, is new. It is priced at just under $27,000 in cargo configuration and under $31,000 in passenger configuration.

The Mercedes-Benz Metris is an all new vehicle for 2016. It is smaller than any of the vans Mercedes-Benz has previously offered in North America, and its intended to compete with both mid-sized cargo vans and minivans. The Metris makes excellent use of its ample interior, providing supreme levels of practicality while still delivering a car-like driving experience.
