What is the fuel consumption of the G-Class?
1 Answers
The G-Class currently has 3 models on sale. Among them, the 2022 G350 with a 258 horsepower engine has an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.1L per 100km. The 2022 G500 and 2021 G500 Flame Special Edition, both equipped with a 421 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100km. Different G-Class models have varying fuel tank capacities. The distance that can be covered on a full tank is as follows: For models with a 258 horsepower engine and a 100L fuel tank, the distance is 100/8.1*100=1235KM. For models with a 421 horsepower engine and a 100L fuel tank, the distance is 100/5.9*100=1695KM. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Headwinds or driving on windy days increase vehicle resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine control unit may increase idle speed to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
