2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Mercedes-Benz S450 is approximately 10-12L/100km. Here are the relevant details about the Mercedes-Benz S450: 1. Powertrain: The Mercedes-Benz S450 is equipped with a 3.0T V6 twin-turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 245kW (333PS)/5250rpm and a peak torque of 480Nm/1600-4000rpm, paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. 2. Body Dimensions: For the short-wheelbase version, the vehicle measures 5116×1899×1483mm in length/width/height, with a wheelbase of 3035mm, while the long-wheelbase version has a body length of 5246mm and a wheelbase of 3165mm.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz S450 for over half a year, mostly for urban commuting. According to my fuel consumption records using Xiaoxiong Youhao app, the average is around 11.5L/100km. During rush hour traffic jams, it can spike to 14L, while on highways it stays stable at just over 9L. The 3.0T engine with 48V mild hybrid system does help with fuel efficiency, but the electric motor assistance is limited in traffic jams. Using AC increases fuel consumption by about 1L, and aggressive acceleration/braking also affects the data. Compared to the official claimed 8.9L/100km, my real-world figures being slightly higher is normal. I recommend using 98 octane fuel for better combustion efficiency. Overall, this is quite reasonable for a D-segment luxury sedan.
