How we count

Cargo and passenger volumes come from EPA interior-volume records — the same figures manufacturers file for the window sticker, measured to a standard method rather than claimed in a brochure.

The luggage counts are ours — computed for all 8 Mercedes-Benz models below. We assume 80% usable volume, because a boot is not a cube: wheel arches, a sloping tailgate and the shape of the cases themselves waste the rest, so the 16.6 cu ft Mercedes-Benz averages becomes 13.3 cu ft you can actually pack. Suitcase sizes are the airline standards — 22 × 14 × 9″ for carry-on, 27 × 21 × 14″ for checked, and the roomiest Mercedes-Benz here swallows 3 checked cases. Numbers are deliberately conservative; if we say four cases fit, four cases fit.
