US MB C320 load capacity smaller than German MB C320?
Why does US MB C320 have smaller load capacity than German MB C320?
[Consumer Reports New Car Buying Guide 2003-2004] 2002 Audi A4 3.0 sedan AWD, 3.0 liter V6, 6-speed automatic Max. load, lb.: 1145 Cub weight, lb.: 3745 2001 Mercedes C320 sedan, 3.2-liter V6, 5 speed automatic Max. load, lb.: 865 Cub weight, lb.: 3445 [in Germany] Audi A4 3.0 tiptronic quattro Max. load, lb.: 1214 (2105kg - 1555kg = 550kg) Cub weight, lb.: 3433 (1555kg) (http://www.audi.com/de/de/neuwagen/a4/limousine/details/technische_daten.jsp) Mercedes C320 Limousine Max. load, lb.: 1060 (480kg) Cub weight, lb.: 3455 (1565kg) (http://www.mercedes-benz.de/mbd/tg03/0,3408,C28S_5_2BD,00.html?) [difference of Max load (German spec - US spec)] Audi A4 1214 - 1145 = 69. Mercedes C320 1060 - 865 = 195. ps I do not think it is the auto/manual matter. I guess mercedes-benz.de site give seperate data for auto and manual, if there are separate data. For example, [Schaltgetriebe / Automatikgetriebe] http://www.mercedes-benz.de/mbd/tg03/0,3408,C28S_5_1BD,00.html? Last edited by ktlimq; 10-20-2003 at 11:13 PM. |

ktlimq,
I believe it is only a matter of different laws in different countries. What about this story. When I moved from Belgium to France, I toke my MB with me offcoarse. To my surprise maximum total weight was diminished with almost 300lbs... on the official papers anyway... So don't worry about it ! Danny |
