What is the fuel consumption of the A45?
2 Answers
Generally speaking, the fuel consumption of a Mercedes-Benz AMG sedan is considered normal within the range of 8-15 liters per 100 kilometers. The specific fuel consumption also depends on the vehicle's condition, road conditions, and the driver's habits. Car fuel consumption varies slightly depending on each individual's driving habits and skills. More stable driving habits result in lower fuel consumption, while frequent aggressive driving, overtaking, and other high-revving operations will appropriately increase fuel consumption. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance will require increasing the fan speed and lowering the temperature to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent sudden braking: Frequent sudden braking is a primary reason for persistently high car fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid excessive air conditioning in small-displacement cars: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after entering. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher setting without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside. After the vehicle has cooled down moderately, then turn on the air conditioning.
As an A45 owner who drives it regularly, I think fuel consumption really depends on how you drive. My daily commute involves a lot of congested urban roads, averaging around 9L/100km overall. In city driving, it can jump to 11L, while on highways maintaining steady speeds can bring it down to about 7.5L. With its AMG high-performance engine, this car delivers fierce power but has a hearty appetite—it's definitely thirstier compared to regular family cars. Many factors affect consumption: AC usage spikes fuel burn, and winter engine thermal efficiency drops slightly. After years of ownership, I've learned that gentle throttle inputs and avoiding sudden acceleration can save a liter or half-liter. Ultimately, if you're after driving excitement, don't obsess over fuel costs—but do maintain air filters and spark plugs properly for long-term savings and reliability.
