What is the fuel consumption of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Taking the 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class as an example, it belongs to the full-size luxury car category with the following dimensions: length 5259mm, width 1899mm, height 1497mm, wheelbase 3165mm, fuel tank capacity 80 liters, and trunk capacity 510 liters. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 3.0T turbocharged engine producing maximum power of 299 PS (220 kW) and peak torque of 400 N·m, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving this Mercedes-Benz S450 for three years, mostly for urban commuting. The dashboard shows an average fuel consumption of 12.5L/100km. On highways, it can drop to around 8.5L, but in traffic jams, it can soar to 15L. During my last road trip on mountain roads with a full load, the consumption was just over 13L. The engine tuning of the Mercedes S-Class leans towards comfort, and the 3.0T engine actually saves more fuel when you're generous with the throttle. My advice is not to focus too much on fuel consumption—the real pleasure comes from the air suspension and sound insulation. With a 78-liter fuel tank, a full tank can take you over 600 kilometers, making it more long-distance capable than you might think.
