What is the fuel consumption of the Mercedes-Benz GLC260?
2 Answers
According to official data, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 8.4L. The Mercedes-Benz GLC260L requires 95-octane fuel, and a full tank can cover a distance of 785km. The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLC260L is 66 liters. This data is officially published, and owners of the Mercedes-Benz GLC260L can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. 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 easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also 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 temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I just picked up my Mercedes-Benz GLC260 two months ago. During city commuting in heavy traffic, the displayed fuel consumption is 12-13L, while it drops to around 8L on suburban expressways. It’s particularly fuel-efficient on highways—cruising at 120 km/h with cruise control consumes about 7.5L, and a full tank shows a range of 750 km. Personally, I think the 2.0T engine paired with the 48V mild hybrid is quite smart; the auto start-stop is very smooth, and it even automatically shuts off the engine when coasting downhill. However, turning on the AC increases fuel consumption by about 1L, with a summer-tested combined fuel economy of 10.2L/100km.
