The METRO is available in three basic configuations: a pickup bed, a cargo box, and tradesman package, all of which can be modified to suit the operator's needs before or after purchase. Customers can choose from several different configurations which include the open truck bed with fold down sides, hydraulic dump bed, utility bed with ladder/lumber rack, and van box with rear and side doors.

The integrated powertrain, Cenntro Power, improves performance, weight balance, and handling. Cenntro's proprietary design achieves high efficiency with low production costs, at a price that is best in its class. It is also simply designed to have no maintenance, minimal moving parts, and a long life.
