What is the actual fuel consumption of the Mercedes ML400?
2 Answers
The average fuel consumption of the Mercedes ML400 is 12.25L/100km. Improper driving habits: Fuel consumption is closely related to the driver's personal habits, such as idling for long periods without turning off the engine or frequent ignition, aggressive acceleration or frequent braking while driving, driving at high speeds in low gears or low speeds in high gears, etc. These driving habits significantly impact fuel consumption. Fuel quality and carbon deposits: Many drivers do not pay attention to fuel quality. Poor-quality gasoline can increase carbon deposits, which roughens the intake pipe walls, affects the intake effect and mixture quality, leading to a sharp rise in fuel consumption.
I drove a Mercedes-Benz ML400 for two full years, and honestly, the actual fuel consumption was quite painful. In city driving with frequent traffic jams, the fuel consumption could reach 13 to 15 liters per 100 kilometers, sometimes even approaching 16 liters in severe congestion. On the highway, it was more economical, dropping to around 10 to 11 liters. I usually drive steadily, avoiding sudden acceleration or braking, and I regularly check tire pressure and change the engine oil, which helps save a bit on fuel costs. Overall, driving this SUV requires budgeting for higher fuel expenses due to its weight and aerodynamic drag. Using air conditioning or driving fully loaded increases fuel consumption further, with monthly fuel costs estimated at over 1,000 yuan. I recommend considering daily road conditions before purchasing this vehicle—using it in suburban areas or on highways would be more cost-effective.
