In practice, fuel consumption may exceed the values determined by EU directives (93/116/EWG) and indicated in the technical data, since other conditions such as driving style, additional equipment, roof rack, wider tires, etc. play a role in daily use.
Fuel consumption values determined in accordance with EU directives (93/116/EWG), are only a basis for comparison under given test conditions.
Dynamic characteristics
Defined in accordance with EU directives and valid for standard vehicles.
Depending on the items of special equipment, the data may differ from the above. Help on this issue can be obtained at any service station «Mercedes-Benz».
