Fuel tank 85 L · CA-market source
noteStated by Mercedes-Benz Canada for this derivative on its own model page, read 7 October 2026. Market: Canada. Used for dimensions and capacities only; its consumption is the Canadian 5-cycle and its towing a North American rating, neither of which is carried.
Fuel grade 95 unleaded — RON 98 recommended by Mercedes-Benz for maximum output; RON 95 permitted.
noteRON 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. Recorded at editorial level because fuel grade is market-specific and this wording is from Mercedes-Benz handbook material published outside South Africa.
Range 625 km
0-100 km/h 3.9 s · DE-market source

CO2 emissions 296 g/km
noteCO2 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.
