6.8

TCC’s Bottom Line

Splitting the difference between the large Sprinter and smaller competitors like the Ford Transit Connect, the mid-size 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris will have an entire commercial van segment to itself.

TCC Likes

Lots of functionality
Prestigious badge
Car-like driving dynamics

TCC Dislikes

No diesel option at present
Engine might labor under full load
Front seats could be more supportive
