When exploring the world of Mercedes Benz vehicles, it’s crucial to understand the details behind advertised prices, performance figures, and other specifications. This guide clarifies some essential footnotes and disclaimers you’ll often encounter.
The “Total Price” you initially see is generally the “Starting at” price combined with estimated taxes and fees. However, this is not a final price. The ultimate price can fluctuate based on several factors. These include the dealership’s location, your location, current inventory levels, the specific features of the vehicle you choose, and any applicable discounts or rebates. Remember that adding extra options or accessories to your Mercedes Benz will also increase the overall price. Therefore, the “Total Price” displayed should be considered an estimate, and the final price may vary.
When it comes to performance, particularly acceleration, stated figures are typically estimations based on manufacturer track testing. Real-world acceleration can differ. Factors influencing acceleration include the specific Mercedes Benz model, environmental conditions, road surface quality, your driving style, the elevation, and the vehicle’s load. Always consider these variables when evaluating acceleration claims.
Fuel economy figures for Mercedes Benz vehicles are EPA estimated MPG (miles per gallon). These estimates are useful for comparison with other vehicles, but your actual fuel economy can vary. Driving speed, weather conditions, and the length of your trips all play a role. For highway driving, expect your actual MPG to likely be lower than the EPA highway estimate.
For Mercedes Benz SUVs and vehicles equipped with an optional trailer hitch, it’s important to consult the Operator’s Manual before towing. Towing capabilities are subject to specific guidelines. Additionally, some states may require aftermarket trailer brakes. Always check with your local Mercedes-Benz dealer for complete towing details and requirements.
Electric Mercedes Benz vehicles have EPA estimated driving ranges on a full charge. It’s important to know that the actual driving range can vary. Factors influencing driving range include the specific model, terrain, temperature, driving style, optional equipment, use of in-vehicle features (like climate control), and other elements.
Keep in mind that vehicle images shown in promotional materials may not always perfectly represent the final product. Especially for concept cars, designs and features are subject to change before reaching production models.
Finally, Mercedes-Benz sometimes offers special incentives for electric vehicle purchases or leases. For example, for retail customers purchasing or leasing select 2025 EQB, EQE, EQS, or G 580 models, there may be an offer for a Mercedes-Benz Home Wallbox (installation not included) or a credit towards public charging within the Mercedes me Charge network. These offers usually have specific terms and conditions, including time limits and usage restrictions, which you should review carefully with your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.
