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 occupies a studied midpoint within a model line whose complaint record from 2015 through 2023 ranges from a single reported issue at its 2015 debut to a peak of 126 complaints the following year, framing this model year as a calmer data point well past the early volatility. Its service profile calls for 8.1 quarts of engine oil, with manufacturer-approved viscosities of 0W-30, 0W-40, or 5W-30 allowing meaningful flexibility across climate and duty cycle. For researchers building a reliability profile, 2019 represents a settled phase of the production run — comfortably removed from the 2016 outlier and indicative of the more measured complaint cadence the model held through the back half of the covered years.
