2016 Metris Cargo Van Available Now!

Mercedes-Benz and “commercial use” don’t often go hand-in-hand, but when it comes to the award-winning 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo Van, you may need to change the way you think. Featuring copious interior space, a turning radius that is perfect for driving in tight confines, and the comfort and technology you’ve come to expect from Mercedes-Benz, the Metris Cargo Van is poised to be at the heart of any business or fleet. In fact, it’s already been noted by some folks – the Texas Auto Writers Association named the Metris the “Best Commercial Vehicle” at the Texas Truck Rodeo this year. So what has made these hard-to-please writers, along with business owners across the country, take notice of the Metris?

Compact Footprint, Not-So-Compact Interior Space

By utilizing upright sides and working with an angular, squared-off design, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo Van creates a lot of room on a small footprint. This means if you are working in cramped urban confines, you’ll be able to maneuver. If you only have a small garage bay to park your van in overnight, you’ll be able to fit it in, with an overall height of only 75.2 inches. You won’t have to shuffle your workspace to accommodate the Metris, in fact, it will give you more space in your shop. Loading in and out is a breeze as well, with 180- or 270-degree opening rear doors or a flip-up tailgate, depending on your business needs. You’ll also need to work through the cold New York winters, which is why the Cold Weather package featuring heated front seats is a great addition.

Potent Yet Efficient

As a business owner, you don’t want a vehicle that will cost a fortune to fuel up, but you also can’t afford to have a vehicle that can’t haul what you need it to haul, from cargo up to tools and workbenches that you may need in your upfitting packages. The turbocharged four-cylinder that powers the Metris provides for above-average hauling and towing power, at above average fuel economy. It even has the ECO stop/start option, allowing you to save on gasoline when your Metris is not in motion. This means it costs you less to do more – something we all want out of our work vehicles.

Safe On-Site and On the Road

It’s up to you to ensure your safety, and the safety of your co-workers and employees, both on the job site and on the road. At Mercedes-Benz, we take this seriously, which is why the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo Van has safety features usually reserved for passenger vehicles. This includes Crosswind Assist, a system that detects crosswinds on windy days and automatically reacts using braking on individual wheels to make sure the Metris stays in its lane. The Load-Adaptive Electronic Stability Program helps to maintain control when it detects actions that indicate an emergency situation, such as oversteer or skidding. An available Rear View Camera, along Blind Spot Assist, Collision Prevention Assist, and Lane Keeping Assist systems, provide alerts to help keep the vehicle from colliding with pedestrians or other vehicles, and can also help out on the job site.

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo Van is the perfect vehicle to have as the heart of your business. At Mercedes-Benz of Massapequa, we know the Metris can fit the needs of businesses all across the region, from single-person painting businesses to delivery companies needing dozens of vehicles. Come check out the Metris, along with our other Mercedes-Benz models, at our showroom at 101 Sunrise Highway in Amityville – it’s not far from Babylon, Hicksville, or other points in Long Island.
