The Macchiato addresses the relatively weak performance of hybrid models on highways by adopting a two-speed DHT solution. Under high-speed conditions, the DHT operates in parallel mode, with both the engine and motor directly driving the vehicle, thereby achieving lower fuel consumption and resolving the issue of higher fuel consumption in hybrid models on highways. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Incorrect driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and braking are the most common issues. Experts have conducted fuel consumption tests during acceleration, finding that fuel consumption increases by 2 to 3 times compared to driving at a constant speed. Tips for reducing fuel consumption: If you want to save fuel, avoid frequent lane changes, overtaking, and merging. Besides increasing fuel consumption, these actions also raise the risk of accidents, and each gear shift consumes additional fuel. Even in traffic jams, try to queue in order; cutting in line will only result in more fuel consumption.

How to switch driving modes in Mercedes-Benz GLC?

The method to switch driving modes in Mercedes-Benz GLC is: While the car is running, use the small mouse in the central control area or the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel to locate the driving mode option in the vehicle computer, then you can make the change. The Mercedes-Benz GLC has four driving modes in total: eco mode, comfort mode, sport mode, and sport+ mode. When the car is in eco mode, the throttle response slows down, and the car's power is reduced to achieve fuel-saving. In comfort mode, the car's transmission and throttle response are balanced, with moderately firm suspension, providing a comfortable driving experience. In sport mode, the car's chassis becomes stiffer, the transmission and throttle response speed up, and gear shifts occur later to deliver higher power. In sport+ mode, the car's chassis is at its stiffest, enhancing stability during high-speed cornering, and the transmission keeps the engine in a higher RPM range to maximize the car's power output.
