2020 Mercedes Metris

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2020 Metris.

The 2020 Mercedes Metris is a model that sits on a dedicated platform and is equipped with a powertrain engineered for commercial versatility. It forms part of a continuous production run from 2015 to 2023, a span during which complaint volumes have fluctuated from a low of one reported issue in 2015 to a high of 126 in 2016. Consequently, the 2020 model year reflects a mid‑range position in the vehicle’s reliability trajectory, showing improvement over the peak difficulty experienced just a year earlier.
