2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz E300 is 66 liters. Fuel tanks can be divided into two types: open and closed, and their function is to store the working fluid required by the hydraulic system, while also dissipating heat, settling impurities, and separating air bubbles from the liquid. The Mercedes-Benz E300 is a mid-to-large-sized 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4942mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1458mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2939mm and a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. The Mercedes-Benz E300 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 190 kW at 5800-6100 rpm and a maximum torque of 370 Nm at 1800-4000 rpm. It features a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and uses multi-link independent suspension for both the front and rear axles.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz E300 for several years, with a fuel tank capacity of around 66 liters, which is quite practical. For daily commuting in the city, a full tank lasts about five to six days, covering roughly 600 kilometers. On the highway, fuel efficiency improves, allowing a range of up to 800 kilometers. Factors affecting range include driving habits, road conditions, and weather—for instance, traffic jams or using air conditioning can increase fuel consumption to over 10L per 100km, naturally reducing the range. The Mercedes E-Class fuel tank design strikes a good balance, not taking up too much space while maintaining comfort. New owners should check the manual for exact specifications, as capacities vary slightly by model year, with 66 liters being the average. It's advisable not to wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel; keeping some fuel in the tank is better for the fuel pump. Overall, the 66-liter capacity reduces the hassle of frequent refueling, making it ideal for those who often travel.
