Fuel grade	95 unleaded — RON 98 recommended by Mercedes-Benz for maximum output; RON 95 permitted. note RON 98 recommended by Mercedes-Benz for maximum engine output. Mercedes-Benz expressly permits RON 95: its owner handbook states that premium-grade unleaded petrol with at least 95 RON may also be used. No AMG-specific override exists.

CO2 emissions	231 g/km note CO2 is the figure Mercedes-Benz South Africa prints in the Maximum CO2 emissions column of its September 2026 price list, which is the column the CO2 emissions tax is levied on. That document names no test cycle, and the figure does not reconcile with the consumption figure on the same car, so the two are not on a common basis and must not be derived from one another.

Service network	~37 authorised service points, as at 18 September 2026 Provincial spread not measured. Recounted 18 September 2026 on Mercedes-Benz South Africa’s PASSENGER-CAR dealer locator (dealer-locator-passenger-car, searchProfile 0001_DLp-Passenger-Car), which is the network that serves this vehicle: 39 retailers unfiltered, 37 with the locator’s own “Service” filter applied. The locator renders only the ten nearest results at a time, so individual outlets could not all be inspected and non-South-African outlets could not be excluded one by one; 37 is therefore an upper bound rather than an exact figure. Supersedes the 2 September 2026 count (43 unfiltered, 41 with Service, less one Botswana outlet, giving 40), which was taken on a different locator and copied to this record from mercedes-benz-v-class, a van record on the separate Mercedes-Benz Vans network. Compare service networks across all brands → note Thirty-seven authorised passenger-car service points, from Mercedes-Benz South Africa’s own passenger-car locator.

What we can't tell you yet

Everything below was searched for. Lines marked (unverified) show a figure that only one source gives, or that sources disagree on; the rest have not been published anywhere we could find for this version.

Ground clearance — Not published by Mercedes-Benz in any market reached: the SA price list, the 2023 technical-data table, Mercedes-Benz Canada, Mercedes-Benz USA, mercedes-amg.com and the SA model pages all omit it.
Gross vehicle mass — Not published by Mercedes-Benz in any market reached: the SA price list, the 2023 technical-data table, Mercedes-Benz Canada, Mercedes-Benz USA, mercedes-amg.com and the SA model pages all omit it.

Euro NCAP rating — Euro NCAP has not rated this derivative. The GLC was rated five stars in 2022 but the car tested was a GLC 220d 4MATIC AMG-Line - AMG-Line is a cosmetic trim package, not an AMG derivative - and Euro NCAP names only the GLC 200, 300, 400e and 220d as covered. No GLC Coupe has ever been rated, any generation.
Spare wheel — Nothing published in South Africa states whether the GLE 300 d carries a spare wheel, a space saver or a tyre repair kit.
