According to the register, output of the recorded models ranges from 122 to 230 kW, with models rated in horsepower spanning 163 to 205 hp, using six-cylinder engines with displacement from 6,700.7 to 6,789.2 cm³.

Recorded operating weight runs from 8,869.5 to 10,119.6 kg, and top speed of the listed models is 50.1 km/h. Besides conventional powershift gearboxes, CLAAS also offers stepless CMATIC transmission within the Axion family, identifiable from the corresponding model designations in the register.
Within the CLAAS range, the Axion sits above the Arion series and below the Xerion as a classic large tractor for arable farms with heavy draft requirements. Buyers of a used Axion should check gearbox variant, hydraulic equipment and emissions stage, since the range changed considerably across model years.
