When considering a luxury vehicle like a Mercedes-Benz or a Mercedes-Maybach, it’s crucial to understand all aspects of pricing, performance claims, and legal terms. This article breaks down common disclaimers and footnotes associated with these prestigious brands, ensuring you are well-informed.
The Total Price you see advertised for a Mercedes-Benz or Mercedes-Maybach is typically a starting point. This price usually includes the Base Price but remember that estimated taxes and fees are added once you provide a ZIP code. It’s important to note that this Total Price is still an estimate and can change. Several factors influence the final price, such as the dealership’s location, your location, current inventory levels, the specific features of the vehicle you choose, and any applicable discounts or rebates. Furthermore, if you decide to add extra products or accessories to your deal, this will also affect the ultimate price. Always confirm the final price with your dealer.
When it comes to acceleration rates, such as 0-60 mph times, these are often based on manufacturer’s track results and should be considered estimates. Real-world acceleration can vary. Factors that can affect acceleration include the specific model, environmental conditions like temperature and weather, the road surface quality, your driving style, the elevation, and even the vehicle’s load. Therefore, stated acceleration figures are a guide but not a guarantee in every situation.
Fuel economy figures for Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-Maybach vehicles are EPA estimated. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) provides estimated miles per gallon (mpg) to allow consumers to compare different vehicles. However, your actual fuel economy may differ significantly from these estimates. Driving speed, weather conditions, and the length of your trips all play a role. In highway driving, you should particularly expect your actual mileage to be less than the highway estimate provided by the EPA.
For Mercedes-Benz SUVs and other models equipped with an optional trailer hitch, it’s essential to consult the Operator’s Manual before towing anything. Towing capacities and guidelines are crucial for safety and vehicle longevity. Be aware that some states may require aftermarket trailer brakes for certain towing situations. Always consult your Mercedes-Benz dealer for detailed information and ensure you comply with all regulations and recommendations.
If you are considering an electric Mercedes-Benz model like an EQB, EQE, or EQS, it’s important to understand the EPA estimated driving range. This range represents how far the vehicle can travel on a fully charged battery, according to EPA estimates. However, just like fuel economy, the actual driving range can vary. Factors influencing driving range include the specific model, the terrain you are driving on, the ambient temperature, your driving style, any optional equipment on the vehicle, the use of vehicle features like air conditioning or heating, and other factors.
Currently, for retail customers purchasing or leasing a new 2025 EQB, EQE, EQS or G 580, Mercedes-Benz is offering a special electric charging offer. Eligible customers can choose between a Mercedes-Benz Home Wallbox (installation not included) or a $1,000 voucher for public charging within the Mercedes me Charge network. This voucher is valid for up to two years. To use the voucher, charging sessions must be initiated through Mercedes me Charge. It’s important to note that this offer requires selection at the point of vehicle delivery and is subject to terms and conditions. Make sure to ask your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer for complete details on this offer and any applicable terms and conditions.
In conclusion, understanding these disclaimers and footnotes is vital when purchasing a Mercedes-Benz or Mercedes-Maybach. Pricing is estimated and subject to change, performance figures are based on ideal conditions, fuel economy and driving range are EPA estimates that can vary, and special offers have specific terms and conditions. Always consult with your local Mercedes-Benz dealer for the most accurate and up-to-date information for your specific situation.
