What is the fuel tank capacity of the GLE?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLE is 85 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Mercedes-Benz GLE can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Mercedes-Benz GLE is 95, with a fuel consumption of 8.9 to 10.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 955 to 842 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. The fuel level is usually observed through 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 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 calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I've been driving the GLE for several years, and its fuel tank capacity is generally around 85 liters. When fully fueled, it can last about 700 kilometers on the highway, but in city traffic with congestion, it drops to just over 500 kilometers, which suits my commuting and weekend trips quite well. Since my workplace isn't far, a full tank can last me two weeks, but the real advantage shows during long road trips—like when heading to the mountains, where I don't have to worry about finding a gas station frequently, saving time and hassle. It's important to develop good driving habits; don't wait until the tank is empty to refuel, as it can harm the engine. I've also discussed with friends that similar SUVs like the BMW X5 have comparable tank capacities, striking a balance between economy and practicality. In terms of maintenance, regular checks of the fuel lines to prevent leaks can make the car more durable.
