2022 Mercedes Metris

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Metris.

The 2022 Mercedes Metris is best understood within the context of its broader 2015-2023 production run, which witnessed dramatic fluctuations in early model reliability. The vehicle's complaint history illustrates a sharp contrast, ranging from a single reported issue in its 2015 inaugural year to a significant peak of 126 complaints in 2016. Positioned well beyond this early-production volatility, the 2022 model reflects the ongoing refinements implemented to address those initial shortcomings. Consequently, this iteration represents a more stabilized chapter in the van's reliability timeline, meaning researchers can approach it as a matured product that has moved past the problematic reputation of its earliest years.
