What is the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Mercedes-Benz A180?

The Mercedes-Benz A180 has 1 model on sale, equipped with a 136 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.97L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different models of the Mercedes-Benz A180 is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the model equipped with a 136 horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.97L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 43L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 43/5.97*100=720km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when approaching a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I used to drive a Mercedes-Benz A180, and the combined fuel consumption was generally around 5.2 to 6 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on your driving habits and road conditions. In city traffic jams, it could spike to over 7 liters, while on the highway, it easily dropped below 5 liters. The official Mercedes test data uses the WLTP standard, which is roughly marked at around 5.5 liters, but there's always some deviation in real-world driving. Pay attention to regular maintenance, such as changing the air filter and keeping the tire pressure correct, which can save some fuel. Fuel consumption is also higher in cold weather, and using the air conditioning aggressively consumes more energy. Overall, this car isn’t the king of fuel efficiency, but as an entry-level luxury car, it’s fairly moderate. If you drive long distances frequently, it might be more cost-effective. The A180 is a good choice for daily commuting, but don’t expect Toyota-level low fuel consumption.
