What is the fuel tank capacity of the GLC260L in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the GLC260L is 66 liters. This data is officially published, and owners who have purchased the GLC260L can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The dimensions are 4764mm (length) * 1898mm (width) * 1642mm (height). The GLC260L requires 95-octane fuel. The following four models: Mercedes-Benz GLC 2022 Facelift II GLC260L 4MATIC Luxury, Mercedes-Benz GLC 2022 Facelift III GLC260L 4MATIC Dynamic, Mercedes-Benz GLC 2022 Facelift II GLC260L 4MATIC Dynamic, and Mercedes-Benz GLC 2022 Facelift GLC260L 4MATIC Luxury, all have a fuel consumption of 8.55L per 100km. A full tank can cover a distance of 771km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually done by observing the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five main factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more fuel to burn. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the need for greater driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: Cold engine temperatures make it harder for fuel to atomize during cold starts, requiring more fuel for combustion. Additionally, the engine's computer may control higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving a GLC260L for a while now, and its fuel tank holds around 66 liters. That's actually pretty spacious for a midsize SUV like this one—I can easily cover long road trips without constantly pulling over for gas. For example, on highway drives, a full tank gives me roughly 650-700 kilometers of range, which is perfect when I'm exploring new spots with friends. I also pay attention to fuel efficiency tips, like keeping tires properly inflated to extend mileage. If you're considering this model, know that the design balances capacity with everyday practicality, so it doesn't feel bulky in urban areas where refueling is quick. Regular upkeep, like checking for leaks, keeps things humming along nicely.
