These vans offer ample room for passengers and luggage, making them perfect for family vacations or extended trips. Unfortunately, the time has come to bid farewell to the Mercedes-Benz Metris. As the company shifts its focus and resources to all-electric vehicles, production of the Metris has been discontinued.

Owners rated the 2023 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo quality a 4 out of 5. The 2023 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo receives an average consumer rating of 4 overall and a 3.9 for reliability, which means owners consider its reliability to be above average.

More than 300,000 Sprinter and Metris vans have been assembled in North Charleston and delivered to destinations across the U.S. since 2006. In 2021, the plant celebrated its 15-year legacy of SKD production in South Carolina.

A Mercedes-Benz Metris will cost about $18,045 for maintenance and repairs during its first 10 years of service. This beats the industry average for luxury full size van models by $2,391. There is also a 56.68% chance that a Metris will require a major repair during that time.

The engine has been built at a Nissan plant in Tennessee since 2015. Mercedes will continue to offer the Sprinter with the van's current diesel 2.0-liter turbo-4 option and a new electric option slated to arrive in the second half of 2023.

Cargo van variants of the Metris are rated at 19 mpg city and 23 mpg highway while the passenger van version is rated at 18 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.

Premium fuel is recommended. If the recommended fuel grade is not available, unleaded regular fuel with an octane rating of 87 can be used temporarily. Prolonged use of unleaded regular fuel can reduce engine performance and increase fuel consumption.

Mercedes-Benz will end sales of the Metris van following the 2023 model year. The death of the Metris reportedly spells the end of the gas-powered four-cylinder Sprinter, as well. Diesel-powered Sprinters, however, will continue on.

A Mercedes-Benz pre-owned model with 50,000 miles on it, as long as it still runs well, is likely a solid buy. Yet, if you want to get years out of a vehicle and it's over 100,000 miles, you'll want to take a closer look before you make a purchase.

The AMG GT 63 S E Performance is the most powerful production vehicle ever by Mercedes-AMG. It is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that puts out 639 hp and 900 Nm. It is mated to an electric motor that is capable of producing 200 hp and 320 Nm. The combined power output is rated at 843 hp and 1,470 Nm.

Premium fuel is recommended.

Using low-octane fuel in a vehicle that requires premium fuel could result in catastrophic internal damage. You'll probably notice the spark knock (a sort of high-pitched pinging or rattling noise).

While regular unleaded gas shaves a few dollars off filling up your tank, Mercedes-Benz engines require premium gas due to their high-compression ratios. This means using regular gas may lead to costly repairs. To avoid more repair bills outside of scheduled service, you should always fill up with premium fuel.

Picking a Mercedes-Benz Pre-Owned Model A Mercedes-Benz pre-owned model with 50,000 miles on it, as long as it still runs well, is likely a solid buy. Yet, if you want to get years out of a vehicle and it's over 100,000 miles, you'll want to take a closer look before you make a purchase.

However, across Mercedes Benz models, the average falls between 150,000 and 250,000 miles. One of the variables you need to account for is the model of the car. The Mercedes C-Class is considered to have the shortest lifespan of any Mercedes model, usually hovering closer to the 150,000-200,000 mile range.
