The cheapest Mercedes-Benz on sale in the US? You're lookin' at it

If you want a Mercedes on the cheap, today's your day. Maybe.

The Metris Worker places a focus on affordability and capability.

In Cargo trim, it's available only in white, with a bare metal floor and the bare minimum of technological doodaddery.

Opt for the seven-seat Passenger Worker, and you get access to two more paint colors -- silver and black. How wild!

It's powered by a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine, putting out 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.

It's the same engine that's in Infiniti's new QX30 crossover.

It's rocking a best-in-class payload rating of more than 2,500 pounds and a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.

Interior cargo volume measures 186 cubic feet, and the rear doors still feature 180-degree hinges.

At $25,995, it's far cheaper than the least expensive Mercedes sedan on sale, the CLA-Class.

The Metris Worker goes on sale later this year.
