Can people with a 2020 GLE450 post real life fuel economy figures?

 

Stop and go traffic will hurt fuel economy. Short trips too. I’ll do 17-20L/100km in those cases.
Normal driving in the city, I’ll improve to 12-14L/100km. Extra-urban or highway driving is where you make most gains at around 9L/100km.

Sorry, I'm too tired to convert to mpg.

 

23.2 UK MPG over first 1300 miles equates to 19.32 US MPG.

 

Highway 26.2,.In the city never worse than 22.6. Alway in comfort mode.

 

Just took a 30 mile trip. 21.6 MPG average speed was 55 mph in Comfort mode. My City mpg driving is all over the place..having to much fun in Sport mode lol..

 

Got close to 25 mpg on trip up to Seattle a couple days ago, doing 75 a good part of the time. Would have been 20 in my old ‘12 ML 35 0.

 

Thanks! I'm really torn between a 450 and 580. It's not the cost of gas, but rather, the thought that I can go another 100 miles on a tank of gas with the L6 engine, and since my light-footed wife will be the primary driver with mostly highway miles, I'm leaning toward the less powerful engine.

 

Until the GLE 53 comes out, I think that is your best option. The 450 is not slow.
