Mercedes-Benz ML-Class data analysis

How Mercedes-Benz ML-Class combined fuel economy varies

Across 6 configurations recorded for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class, combined fuel economy runs from 15 MPG to 25 MPG. The strongest figure belongs to the 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class (Auto 7-spd, 4 cyl, 2.1 L) at 25 MPG, and the weakest to the 2015 car (Auto 7-spd, 8 cyl, 5.5 L) at 15 MPG — a spread of 67%. A gap that wide means the model year and configuration you buy matter more than the nameplate does: quoting a single number for the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class would be misleading.

How to read this Mercedes-Benz ML-Class data

This page lists every 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class record we hold for this measurement — 6 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.

Where these Mercedes-Benz ML-Class figures come from

Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Mercedes-Benz ML-Class record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.

Our Real-World Speed MPG Adjuster re-scales the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class EPA highway result with a quadratic drag term (mpg = hwy ÷ (1 + k·(v² − 60²)/60²), k = 0.55 for trucks, SUVs and vans, 0.42 for cars). Wind, roof racks, and a heavy right foot make it worse, never better.
