Total Cost of Ownership
Savings over the long haul.
The true cost of a vehicle goes well beyond the sticker price. Fuel costs, maintenance costs, the vehicle’s retained value and other items can all affect your bottom line down the road. Using independent research by Vincentric,™* this information shows the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a Mercedes-Benz Van versus its closest competition. Of course, with the lowest TCO in its class, the competition really isn’t all that close.

Fuel Costs**
Go further on less.
Minimizing fuel expenses is essential for your business. The Metris’ unique size provides you with more space to carry what you need, and still has one of the lowest fuel consumption costs of comparable large and small vans. In fact, its incredibly fuel-efficient powertrain costs an average of 16 cents/km, saving you up to 25% when compared to the competition – that’s a savings of over $4,705 over 3 years.1
Cargo Volume: The Metris has a cargo volume 56% larger than the competition2
Payload Capacity: The Metris has a load-bearing capacity 47% larger than the competition3
Maintenance Interval‡
Born to run.
Less time in the shop and more time on the road means smooth running for your business. With a best-in-class maintenance interval of up to 25,000 kilometres, the Metris stays on the job longer than its competitors. And with dealers all across Canada providing dedicated quality care, when your vehicle does need service, it will be in, out, and back to work in no time.
Retained Value
Get more van and more value.
As a business owner, you understand the value of maximum return on minimum expense. Delivering 56% more cargo volume than its competitors, the Mercedes-Benz Metris depreciates at a remarkably low rate. As Canada’s only mid-size commercial vehicle, the Mercedes-Benz Metris offers a perfect balance of value and versatility.
Fuel Costs1
Fuel costs are rising.
For some more than others.
Fuel cost is the single-highest operating expense a vehicle incurs. Lucky for your business, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has the lowest fuel consumption of any vehicle in its class. Our powerful engine saves you up to over 34% when compared to our competitors’ vehicles. And with fuel costs averaging 14 cents/km, the Sprinter can have remarkable savings of over $6,450 across 3 years.**
Maintenance Interval‡
A van shouldn’t get days off.
Your van should be on the job helping your business make money, so relying on it to run smoothly when you need it is a priority. With an extended maintenance interval of up to 30,000 kilometres from our diesel-powered engine, your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will spend more time on the road and less time on a hoist. And with dealers all across Canada providing dedicated quality care, when your vehicle does need service, it will be in, out, and back to work in no time.‡
Retained Value
Cargo isn’t the only thing it holds.
One element of TCO that’s typically overlooked doesn’t have anything to do with how much a vehicle costs you. It has to do with how much it’s worth. A van that retains value puts more money in your pocket at the end of its service life. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter depreciates at a much lower rate than that of its competition, commanding a higher resale value than any commercial vehicle in its class. Maximum return with minimum expense. That’s something every business person values.
