Mercedes-Benz Metris W447 (1st US Generation)

2016–2023 · W447 · van

US-market version of the Vito (W447). Smaller than a Sprinter, larger than a Transit Connect. M274 2.0L turbo-4 gasoline (the only US engine — Mercedes never federalized the diesel). 7G-Tronic 7-speed automatic. Cargo and Passenger configurations. Discontinued after the 2023 model year due to slow US sales and the discontinuation of the exclusive gas engine.

Watch out: M274 turbo-4 known for water pump and oil cooler housing leaks 60-80k miles, and timing chain stretch on neglected service. As a discontinued model, OEM parts availability and dealer service depth in the US will gradually decline. Body rust on salt-belt examples around rear quarters and door bottoms.
