Mercedes-Benz's mid-size Metris cargo and passenger vans are getting an update for the 2021 model year, although the updates are rolling out on the Europe-market Vito and eVito vans first. Mercedes says the updated Metris lineup will be available to U.S. buyers later this year.
The Metris still comes in cargo and passenger variants, each with increased gross vehicle weight ratings: 6834 and 6393 pounds, respectively. There's a new radiator grille, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and either 16- and 17-inch wheels wrapped in all-season tires. The Metris can also be had with a comfort suspension, electric sliding doors, and active park assist.
