What is the fuel consumption of the G500?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz G500, with a 5.5L displacement and automatic transmission, has an average fuel consumption of 21L/100km as reported by netizens, and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 15.7L/100km under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's standard conditions. Below are the relevant details: Positioning: The Mercedes-Benz G500 is the flagship model of the Mercedes-Benz G series. This purebred off-road vehicle is equipped with Mercedes-Benz's latest generation 5.0L V8 engine, delivering a maximum power of 216kw/5500rpm and a maximum torque of 456nm/2800-4000rpm. Power: The installation of a supercharger enables it to unleash 80% of its maximum torque at around 1800rpm. Combined with a ladder frame non-independent suspension and three differential locks (front, center, and rear, all capable of 100% locking), the G500 boasts formidable off-road capabilities. However, this does not mean the vehicle loses its on-road performance. When pushing its nearly three-ton body, it still achieves an impressive 0-100km/h acceleration time of 10.2 seconds.
I've been driving the G500 for almost three years now, and the fuel consumption is indeed quite high. In city traffic jams, it can reach up to 18 liters, while highway cruising is better at around 13 liters, averaging about 15 liters overall. This is mainly due to the 4.0T V8 engine under the hood and the boxy design that creates significant wind resistance. My friend's Land Rover Range Rover also consumes about 14 liters, which shows that luxury off-road vehicles are generally like this. I usually fill up with 95-octane fuel, spending over 2,000 yuan a month on gas. However, people who buy this car value its off-road performance and commanding presence more. I recommend installing a tire pressure monitoring system, as insufficient tire pressure can increase fuel consumption by 1-2 liters.
