The van is well-equipped for heavy work yet remains fun to drive.

2021 Mercedes-Benz Metris Passenger Van Interior

The way the 2021 Mercedes-Benz Metris Passenger Van has been designed in a way that anywhere in the van is easily accessible is the strong point of its interior. It is easy to climb and slides onto the flat seat cushion with an easy reach of the array of straightforward dials and controls. There is not much seat adjustment and the steering wheel does not telescope but it tilts up and down.

The van has two front seats that offer enough room for its passengers with plenty of head and elbow space but a little more legroom would have been nice.

The 2021 Metris is designed to handle the highest amount of cargo capacity possible so it is no surprise that it was made with thin walls and little insulation detract from ride quality. An empty cargo area will flood with outside noise and a full load is not much better.

Mercedes-Benz did a great job in other places such as the simple driver’s seat which is extremely comfortable with good support and the ride quality is great over bumps and potholes on the road. There is also optional automatic climate control. The dials are really easy to use and if you set the temperature and lock the doors,  it will automatically prepare the cabin once you return and unlock the door.
