The verdict

What's good

Smaller footprint parks in standard city spaces unlike the Sprinter
MBUX display brings car-class tech to a compact work van
Turbocharged engine punches noticeably above the Transit Connect
Last year of production means deep dealer discounts available

What's not

Discontinued after 2023 — parts supply will tighten over time
Payload capacity limited versus full-size cargo vans
No diesel option limits fuel cost control on high-mileage fleets
Reliability history below the Sprinter for commercial use

The engine

M260

2.0L Turbo I4

Mercedes' M260 turbo-four spools quickly and runs refined, tuned for smooth, upscale daily drivability rather than outright drama in the brand's entry models.

Built at Mercedes' Kölleda engine plant, it shares its core architecture with the fearsome AMG-tuned versions that hold the title of the world's most powerful production four-cylinder.

Its hand-built AMG sibling, the M139, makes up to 416 hp — the most powerful series-production four-cylinder ever.
Kölleda is one of the largest engine plants in Europe.
