The Metris is as attractive as a passenger van can possibly manage, especially from the front. The short snout is complemented by a three-blade grille and upturned halogen headlights. The van gets black front and rear bumpers but these can be swapped out in favor of body-colored items in exchange for extra cash. 180-degree swing-out doors are standard, but a regular rear liftgate is available. The van rests on 16-inch steel wheels; alloy wheels in a variety of designs are optionally available, as are roof rails in black.
The Metris is rather long in comparison to rivals and has a total length of 202.4 inches. This measurement makes it over 12 inches longer than the Transit Connect, and the same concept applies to its 126-inch wheelbase. Standing tall at 74.4 inches without the roof rails, the Metris owes its narrow appearance to the combination of its spindly height with a 75.9-inch width without the mirrors. That being said, the Metris is just under four inches wider than the Transit Connect. At base level, the Metris Passenger Van weighs in at 4,409 pounds.
