The United States Says Goodbye to The Mercedes-Benz Metris
The Mercedes-Benz Metris will no longer be sold in the United States. The company has announced that it is ceasing production of the vehicle.
Metris has been popular among small business owners and commercial drivers. It is a versatile vehicle that can be used for various purposes.
However, Metris has been facing stiff competition from other vehicles in its class. And with the recent changes in the automotive industry, Metris is no longer.
Mercedes-Benz has decided to cease production of the Metris. They want to focus on other models that are more popular and profitable. The decision to discontinue Metris is bittersweet for the company.
Diesel-Powered Sprinters Will Continue
Mercedes-Benz announced that it would continue to produce the diesel-powered Sprinter van.
The decision to discontinue the Metris surprised many observers. The vehicle had been successful in the U.S. market. Mercedes-Benz said the move was necessary to focus resources on its new electric vans.
The diesel-powered Sprinter has been a strong seller for Mercedes-Benz. The company said it would continue to produce the vehicle to meet the needs of its customers.
Metris Deliveries in the U.S.
Mercedes-Benz has been selling the Metris van in the United States since 2015.
The company has delivered a mere 60,000 of them in that time. The Metris has been popular. It has yet to catch on with individual buyers. Mercedes-Benz hopes to change that with the launch of a new marketing campaign. The campaign will focus on versatility and its ability to handle various tasks.
The End of the turbocharged 2.0 Engine
Reports of the Metris demise have Mercedes-Benz dealers worried. The Metris has a gas-powered engine option. It is a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four. It also serves as the engine option in the Sprinter. With the Metris reportedly being discontinued, it is the end for the engine option. That goes for the Sprinter, too.
Mercedes-Benz has not confirmed the reports, but dealers are taking them seriously. They are worried about the discontinuation of Metris. It could mean the Sprinter will no longer be available with a gas engine. And that, in turn, could mean a loss in sales for the dealers.
