What is the fuel tank capacity of the GLE?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLE is 85 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Mercedes-Benz GLE can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Mercedes-Benz GLE requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 8.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 955km. During daily driving, it is important to always monitor the remaining fuel level. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified fuel tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill limit. There is additional space from the safe fill limit to the tank opening, 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.
As a vehicle technology enthusiast, I found that the Mercedes-Benz GLE has a standard fuel tank capacity of 85 liters, which converts to approximately 22.5 US gallons—a reasonable size for a mid-to-large SUV. The fuel tank is typically made of high-strength plastic or metal, equipped with a leak-proof system to ensure safe driving. Considering an average fuel consumption of around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, a full tank can easily cover over 800 kilometers, making it ideal for long-distance trips or off-road adventures. I frequently check the fuel tank cap seal to prevent dust clogging and also recommend owners periodically test the fuel tank pressure with professional tools to avoid performance degradation due to internal corrosion. The tank size directly affects fuel costs—filling up can be expensive, but it reduces time spent at gas stations, making it cost-effective overall. Additionally, optional models or variations may exist, so it’s best to refer to the user manual or 4S dealership measurements for accuracy.
