Mercedes-Benz GLS Mileage

The mileage of your GLS can fluctuate depending on several factors. Key factors include the following:

• Driving Style: Aggressive acceleration and indiscriminate braking can hamper the fuel efficiency of your GLS. Smooth driving can help you maximise fuel efficiency.

• Vehicle Loading: Added passengers and cargo weight can increase your GLS's fuel consumption. Consider reducing your vehicle's weight whenever possible.

• External Conditions: Rougher terrain, inclines, and cold weather can reduce your GLS's real-world fuel economy.

• Engine and Transmission: Larger engines and older transmissions are less fuel efficient.

• Traffic Conditions: Stop-and-go traffic and congestion can hamper optimal gear shifting. This results in more idling, force braking, and acceleration.

• Vehicle Condition: Issues like worn spark plugs, clogged air filters, and underinflated tyres can sap your GLS's fuel efficiency.

• Short Trips: Short drives don't allow the engine and transmission to reach optimal operating temperature. Instead, plan an extensive trip with intermittent stoppages. Once the engine warms up sufficiently, mileage usually improves on longer drives. To improve fuel economy, consider limiting the idling time.

• Vehicle Model & Specs: The engine, transmission, and drivetrain specs specific to the GLS variant can determine the mileage and the real-world fuel economy.

• Aftermarket Accessories: Certain add-ons, such as lift kits, oversized tyres, and light bars, can reduce the fuel economy of your GLS.

By understanding these factors and how your driving habits and the condition of your GLS  can influence fuel efficiency, you can be better equipped to maximise your mileage.
