When you’re ready to Build Your Mercedes, understanding all aspects of pricing and features is key to making informed decisions. The journey to owning your dream car involves more than just selecting a model; it’s about tailoring it to your specific needs and preferences.
When exploring the price of your Mercedes, it’s important to differentiate between the “Starting at” price and the “Total Price”. The “Starting at” price is the base price, but keep in mind that the Total Price you see is an estimate. This estimate includes estimated taxes and fees, and while it gives you a good initial figure, it can change. Several factors influence the final price, such as the dealership’s location, your location, the availability of specific models, chosen vehicle features, and any applicable discounts or rebates. Remember, adding extra products to your deal will also adjust the final price. Always consider the Total Price as an estimated figure that will be finalized as you build your Mercedes.
Performance is a significant aspect of the Mercedes-Benz experience. The acceleration rates you see are typically manufacturer’s estimations from track results. Real-world acceleration can vary. Factors like the specific model you choose, environmental conditions, road surface, your driving style, elevation, and the vehicle’s load all play a role. When you build your Mercedes, think about how these factors align with your typical driving needs to estimate the performance you can expect.
Fuel economy and driving range are also crucial considerations, especially with Mercedes-Benz’s range of efficient and electric vehicles. EPA provides estimated fuel economy figures to help you compare vehicles. However, your actual mileage will depend on various conditions, including your driving speed, weather, and trip length. For electric vehicles, the EPA also estimates the driving range on a full charge. This range can be influenced by the model, terrain, temperature, driving style, optional equipment, and the use of vehicle features. As you build your Mercedes, consider these factors to choose a model that fits your efficiency requirements.
For those needing towing capabilities, some Mercedes-Benz models offer an optional trailer hitch. It’s essential to consult your Operator’s Manual before towing and be aware of potential state requirements for aftermarket trailer brakes. Your local dealer can provide detailed information on towing specifics for the Mercedes you are building.
Mercedes-Benz also provides attractive incentives for electric vehicle purchases. For certain models like the 2025 EQB, EQE, EQS, or G 580, retail customers may be eligible for either a Mercedes-Benz Home Wallbox (installation not included) or a $1,000 voucher for public charging within the Mercedes me Charge network. This offer adds value as you transition to electric mobility with your new Mercedes. Be sure to inquire about the terms and conditions from your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer as you build your electric Mercedes and make your selection at the point of vehicle delivery.
Building your Mercedes is an exciting process. Understanding these key aspects of pricing, performance, efficiency, and available offers will empower you to create a Mercedes-Benz that perfectly matches your desires and expectations. Explore the options, customize your features, and drive away in the Mercedes of your dreams.
