SUV and Towing Capability

This model is a saloon rather than an SUV, so it does not use air suspension for variable ride height or offer dedicated off-road drive modes. Its AMG 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system is designed for road performance, traction and stability.

Actual towing limits depend on the approved towbar, trailer nose weight, payload, vehicle loading and the individual vehicle’s type-approval data.
