Mercedes-Benz G-Class Mileage

Off-Road Challenges: The off-road capability of the G Class comes at the cost of fuel efficiency. Rough terrain, steep inclines, and deep water can cost you fuel.

Excess Weight: Fuel consumption increases when the car carries excessive weight, such as heavy cargo or extra equipment.

Modifications: Fuel efficiency is also affected by aftermarket modifications such as bigger wheels or heavy armour.

Rolling Resistance: Uninflated tyres can also increase rolling resistance and cause higher fuel consumption.

Aggressive Driving: Hard braking, excessive acceleration, and high speed can decrease fuel efficiency.

Extreme Temperatures: Fuel efficiency is susceptible to hot and cold temperatures. While engine performance is impacted by the cold weather, air conditioning usage is normal in hot weather.

Climate Control Settings: Cabin temperatures higher than comfortable may increase energy consumption for the air conditioning system. Aside from this, energy consumption can be reduced when ventilation is used in place of air conditioning.

Aerodynamics: The G-Class's boxy design also contributes to higher aerodynamic drag at higher speeds.

Roof Racks: Adding roof racks can also increase drag and reduce your fuel efficiency.

Irregular Servicing: Poor maintenance that may prevent you from changing the oil or tune-up can affect your engine’s performance and fuel efficiency.
