2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris vs. 2019 Ford Transit

Metris vs. Transit: Performance & Handling

If you’re looking for better fuel efficiency and smooth shifting on the Cook County roadways, the Mercedes-Benz Metris outshines the Ford Transit. See the difference for yourself:  

• Fuel Economy: While the Transit offers greater horsepower and torque, its EPA-estimated 14 city/19 mpg rating doesn’t measure up to the Metris Van’s astounding 21 city/24 mpg highway rating.
• Transmission: With a broader gear range, the 7G-TRONIC® connected to Metris Van’s engine offers smoother, more intuitive handling than the Transit’s 6-speed automatic transmission.

Metris vs. Transit: Pricing

If you want a vehicle with strong capability and a versatile interior, the Mercedes-Benz Metris provides Chicago businesses what they need while being conscious of their budget. Meanwhile, to experience the capabilities of the Ford Transit, business owners better be prepared to spend more. Pricing for both models is as follows:

• 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris: Starting at $26,570* MSRP
• 2019 Ford Transit: Starting at $33,135 MSRP

Metris vs. Transit: Utility & Safety Features

On the Ford Transit, you’ll find 16-inch steel wheels, a hinged passenger-side door (low-roof configurations only), and air conditioning. The Mercedes-Benz Metris, however, introduces a little extra convenience and peace of mind into your workday with the following exclusive features:

• 17-inch steel wheels
• Multi-function steering wheel
• Sliding door on the right
• Daytime running lamps
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System
• Mud and snow tires
• Optional partition with sliding door package

While the Transit includes a rearview camera, the Metris counters with Crosswind Assist, ATTENTION ASSIST®, Rescue AssistSM, and a Load-Adaptive Electronic Stability Program — all standard.
