What are the fuel consumption rates of the Mercedes-Benz GLC and BMW X3?
1 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Mercedes-Benz GLC ranges from 8.1 to 8.2L per 100km. The BMW X3 has a fuel consumption of 11.2L per 100km. Below are the reasons for high fuel consumption in vehicles: Driver's driving habits: Apart from factors like vehicle design and engine, the primary cause of excessive fuel consumption is the driver's driving habits. Frequent sudden braking and rapid acceleration are the biggest contributors to increased fuel consumption. Road conditions: Road condition factors include whether the road is smooth, the level of friction, the steepness of slopes, and whether there is traffic congestion. Generally, roads with many sharp turns and frequent braking will result in significantly higher fuel consumption. Additionally, fuel consumption during severe traffic congestion can be more than three times that during smooth traffic. Maintenance: Poorly maintained engines can see a 10% to 20% increase in fuel consumption, and a dirty air filter can also lead to a 10% rise in fuel consumption. To maintain optimal vehicle performance, it is recommended to change the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers and inspect the filters.
