Mercedes-Benz vehicle research
The Mercedes-Benz vehicle research desk indexes 16 current EPA model families for model years 2025–2027, totaling 56 certification records across 56 model/option labels. Current Mercedes-Benz certification data spans Electricity, Premium fuel types and 4-Wheel Drive, All-Wheel Drive, Front-Wheel Drive, Rear-Wheel Drive drivetrains, with combined efficiency of 14–126 MPG/MPGe. The archive extends further back with 53 additional model-year records across 16 Mercedes-Benz models. 19 dedicated model hubs break this down by nameplate, and each family page adds its own 12-answer decision desk covering configuration choice, ownership, maintenance and used buying. Every figure here traces back to its own EPA row or dated manufacturer source, never averaged across the make.

About the brand
About Mercedes-Benz.
Mercedes-Benz, commonly referred to simply as Mercedes and occasionally as Benz, is a German luxury automotive brand that was founded in 1926. Mercedes-Benz AG (a subsidiary of the Mercedes-Benz Group, established in 2019) is based in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Mercedes-Benz AG manufactures luxury vehicles and light commercial vehicles, all branded under the Mercedes-Benz name.
- History
- Mercedes-Benz traces its origins to Carl Benz's first internal combustion engine in a car, seen in the Benz Patent-Motorwagen – financed by Bertha Benz's dowry and patented in January 1886 – and Gottlieb Daimler and its engineer Wilhelm Maybach's conversion of a stagecoach, with the addition of a petrol engine, introduced later that year. The Mercedes automobile was first marketed in 1901 by Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG).
- Lineup
- Mercedes-Benz currently offers a range of consumer-passenger, light commercial and heavy commercial equipment, which are manufactured in multiple countries worldwide. The Smart marque of city cars are also produced by Daimler AG.
- Sales
- Other than in its native birthplace, Germany, Mercedes-Benz vehicles are or have been partly manufactured or assembled in:
- Environmental record
- Mercedes-Benz has developed multi-concept cars with alternative propulsion, such as hybrid-electric, fully electric, and fuel-cell powertrains. At the 2007 Frankfurt motor show, Mercedes-Benz showed seven hybrid models, including the F700 concept car, powered by a hybrid-electric drivetrain featuring the DiesOtto engine. In 2009, Mercedes-Benz displayed three BlueZERO concepts at the North American International Auto Show.
- Motorsport
- The two companies which were merged to form the Mercedes-Benz brand in 1926 had both already enjoyed success in the new sport of motor racing throughout their separate histories. A single Benz competed in the world's first motor race, the 1894 Paris–Rouen, where Émile Roger finished 14th in 10 hours 1 minute.
