About the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris
First U.S. Metris generation (2016-2023), in its late-cycle period; 2022 is the second model year after the 2021 update and before the final 2023 U.S. model year.
Mercedes-Benz positions the Metris as a right-size van that sits between a compact work van and the larger Sprinter. Its core appeal is flexibility: one platform that can move tools, people, or upfit equipment while still being easier to park and maneuver than a full-size van. Mercedes also leans on safety, durability, and business-friendly usability, making the Metris the choice for buyers who need more towing and cargo room than a small van without stepping up to full-size bulk.
The 2022 Metris remains a midsize work van offered in cargo-hauling and seven-seat passenger forms. Cargo models provide up to 199.2 cubic feet of space, while the passenger van has removable rear seats, dual sliding doors, and rear air conditioning. Every version has a 208-hp turbo four-cylinder engine and a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
