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 6.2-11.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 739 to 1371 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through 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, and 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 marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
Oh, I've been driving the GLE 320 for several years, and the fuel tank is really spacious with a capacity of 85 liters, equivalent to 22.5 gallons. For someone like me who loves long-distance trips, it's incredibly convenient—a full tank can last for six to seven hundred kilometers, so cruising on the highway rarely requires worrying about refueling. For daily commutes, a full tank easily lasts a week, and it’s even more hassle-free when taking weekend trips with friends. I remember last year’s road trip to the mountains—packed with luggage and camping gear—the fuel consumption was around 9 liters per 100 km, and the large tank allowed us to drive for most of the day without stopping. But a word of caution: don’t rely too much on the big tank; keep an eye on the trip computer’s fuel economy display, as rapid acceleration or traffic jams can significantly reduce range. Adapting driving habits, like gentle throttle input, can save a lot of fuel. In short, the 85-liter capacity makes both daily life and adventures more carefree, reducing trips to the gas station and freeing up more time.
From my driving experience, the GLE 320 has a fuel tank capacity of 85 liters, which is quite solid among its SUV peers. Compared to the BMW X5's 80 liters or the Audi Q7's 90 liters, it sits in the middle range, balancing space without sacrificing efficiency. I'm meticulous with my driving habits—with this tank paired with a diesel engine, the fuel consumption is 8 liters per 100 km, allowing a full tank to cover over 1,000 km, which is practical for frequent business travelers. But don’t just focus on the numbers; in city traffic jams, fuel consumption can spike above 10 liters per 100 km, drastically reducing range, so I always ease on the brakes to maintain steady speed. Regularly check the fuel cap seal to avoid aging and leaks. Knowing the capacity helps me plan refueling days in my monthly schedule, avoiding unexpected delays. Also, using higher-grade fuel can improve combustion efficiency, making the large tank perform even better—don’t compromise with low-quality fuel to save money.
