What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Mercedes-Benz M-Class MPG
| Mercedes-Benz M-Class Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Other luxury cars/SUVs require premium gas. Diesel could be same or even cheaper than regular gas and with immense torque and a somewhat light foot I get almost 25Mpg |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
5000 lbs vehicle. Gets 32 mpg on highway up to 75 mph, faster than that mpg drops. 23 to 24 mpg around town |
| Mercedes-Benz M-Class Fuel Economy: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Have a V8, so I should have expected, but mpg is averaging about 16 around town. With the current gas prices, I dread going to the pump. $90 to fill up the huge tank. |
