2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris Passenger

The Metris is Mercedes-Benz's mid-size van, the one that splits the difference between a work van and a family hauler. It drives more like a car than you'd expect from a van, with responsive steering and a tight turning radius that makes city work easy. The cabin is functional and built to take abuse, with hard-wearing materials and a straightforward layout that's easy to get used to. Cargo space is the big draw here, with a tall roof and flat floor that make loading bulky items a simple job. Seven seats and rear air conditioning set the Passenger apart from the Cargo van, making it the one you want if people are riding along. The removable second- and third-row seats let you switch between people-hauling and cargo duty in minutes, though they're heavy enough that you'll want a hand lifting them out.
