What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Mercedes-Benz GLE400?

This is the traction control indicator, which is the ground grip control system indicator. Function of the yellow triangle exclamation mark indicator: When the traction control indicator lights up, it alerts the owner to turn off the traction control system. If this light remains on, it indicates a problem with the traction control system. It determines whether the drive wheels are slipping based on the rotation speed of the drive wheels and the transmission wheels. When the former exceeds the latter, it suppresses the speed of the drive wheels as part of an anti-slip control system. When braking on slippery roads, the wheels may slip, even causing loss of directional control. Similarly, during acceleration or sudden acceleration, the drive wheels may also slip, which can lead to loss of directional control and danger on icy or slippery roads. Solution: Stop and check the situation. Press the traction control system button TCS OFF; the button light indicates that the TCS system is turned off.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz GLE400 for almost a year now, and I'd like to share my actual fuel consumption experience. The average combined fuel consumption is around 11 liters per 100 kilometers, which includes both city traffic congestion and highway driving. In the city, with frequent red lights and traffic jams, it can rise to 13 liters or even 15 liters—driving habits make a huge difference. On the highway, maintaining a steady speed with cruise control can easily bring it down to 8-9 liters. Additionally, I've noticed that weather and road conditions also have a significant impact. Using the air conditioning in summer can increase fuel consumption by over 1 liter, while cold starts in winter require engine warm-up, leading to higher consumption. I recommend developing good habits, such as avoiding sudden acceleration, anticipating braking to maintain smooth driving, checking tire pressure monthly to ensure it stays at the standard level, and regular maintenance like oil changes and filter cleaning, which can help reduce fuel consumption by about 5%. Overall, higher fuel consumption is normal for SUVs, but the comfort and reliability of the GLE400 make it worth it. Over time, you’ll get better at managing your fuel budget.
