2019 Mercedes Metris

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Metris.

The 2019 Mercedes Metris arrives with an engine requiring 8.1 quarts of oil and accepting 0W-30, 0W-40, or 5W-30 viscosity grades, giving owners flexibility in maintenance across varying climates. Within the model's complaint history spanning 2015 through 2023, this model year sits three years past the 2016 peak of 126 complaints and well beyond the 2015 low of a single reported issue, placing it firmly in the more settled portion of the timeline. For a researcher evaluating this vehicle, that positioning after the highest-complaint year is a meaningful signal: the early-production problems that drove the 2016 spike had already surfaced and been addressed by the time the 2019 reached customers, making it a comparatively mature entry in the Metris lineup.
