What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLC in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLC is 66 liters, as officially announced by the manufacturer. Owners who have purchased the Mercedes-Benz GLC can also verify this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Mercedes-Benz GLC is 95 octane, with a fuel consumption of 8.2L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel allows for a driving range of approximately 804 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, 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 mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity 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 extra space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I usually enjoy driving my Mercedes-Benz GLC for outings. Its fuel tank capacity is about 66 liters, which is quite large, and a full tank can cover over 700 kilometers. Last time when my family went on a trip, we drove long-distance from Beijing to Qingdao without needing to refuel midway, which saved a lot of hassle. However, fuel consumption affects the range. In the city, it's about 10-11 liters per 100 kilometers, while on the highway, it can drop to around 8 liters. I recommend regularly checking the fuel tank cap's seal to prevent dust from entering and affecting the fuel pump. In winter, the fuel gauge might not be accurate, so it's best to fill up before setting off.
