TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Mercedes-Benz GLK

Mercedes-Benz GLK Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	Fuel economy was a "why not to buy" with the GLK350, as the gas-powered Mercedes-Benz crossover trails the competing Audi and BMW in this area. With the diesel, though, the tables turn. BMW doesn't offer a diesel X3 in North America, at least not yet. For 2014, Audi does offer a Q5 TDI.When I heard that Audi was going to offer a diesel compact crossover, I assumed that the engine in question would be a four-cylinder unit. Nope, it's a 240-horsepower 3.0-liter V6. The official line: a four-cylinder wouldn't suit Audi's performance-oriented brand image in the U.S. With a much smaller engine and (partly as a result) a couple hundred pounds less curb weight, the GLK250 BlueTEC tops the Q5 in fuel economy. But, according to the EPA, only on the highway, with a rating of 33 mpg vs. 31.Both crossovers achieve an EPA city rating of 24 mpg. In the real world, the GLK250 impresses in suburuban driving, with the trip computer usually reporting averages from 31 to 35, and on one run to my son's school nearly 40. This is about 50 percent better than in the GLK350. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review

Year	Comment
2010	If you prioritize performance, the GLK's mandatory 3.5-liter V6, upgraded via direct injection from 268 to 302 horsepower for 2013, might seem a good thing. But even after the power bump, the boosted sixes in the Audi and BMW are stronger, and they're paired with more responsive eight-speed automatics (vs. a seven-speed transmission introduced nearly a decade ago). More of an issue for most potential buyers: fuel economy. The GLK350 is more efficient for 2013, thanks to direct injection, electric-steering assist, driving style feedback, and a shudder-free automatic start/stop system (study it, BMW). The EPA ratings have improved from last year's 16 mpg city, 21 highway to 19/24. But even 19/24 is only marginally competitive in the 2013 challenge. The BMW X3 xDrive28i is nearly as quick, and rates 21/28. The quicker X3 xDrive35i matches the GLK in the city, but does a couple mpg better on the highway. In our real-world suburban driving, the GLK350 trailed the BMW X3 xDrive28i by one to two mpg. Not a big difference, but a difference. Mercedes will soon offer a more fuel-efficient engine option in North American GLKs. But it won't be a smaller gas engine. Instead, the new GLK250 will be motivated by a 190-horsepower, four-cylinder diesel engine. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review

2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 168hp 2.1L I4 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The diesel option was the #1 reason I looked at the vehicule and the deciding point to go with it. At over 200 miles per day to communte, I needed the mileage numbers and in Quebec, diesel is less expensive than regular gas and way less than premium. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review
2011	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	better than expected: 19 suburban, 25 highway see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review
2011	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	A major disappointment. But, to be fair, I live at the top of a mountain in LA and all of my past cars also had bad mileage. It isn't bad on the highway...I get average of 22 mpg...but pure city driving drags it down to 16-17. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review

2011	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	having owned a c280 with 3 liter engine and been very happy with performance plus low 30s highway, mid to high 20s suburban, why not put 3 liter in the glk? while glk is heavier, 3.5 liter penalizes mpg for little better performance. otherwise there is nothing not to like and alot to like about this great vehicle. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review

2010	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Performance comes at a price...gas mileage more on the order of a full size SUV. Wish a diesel had been available. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review

2014	4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Gas mileage has never been as advertised, even with all highway driving. We avg more like 34 highway, 26 city. see full Hyundai Accent review
2010	2dr Hatch 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Better than my previous car (1981, 240 Volvo). see full Hyundai Accent review
2010	2dr Hatch 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	You get close to Hybrid-like mpg without the added cost of a hybrid. One of the highest mileage subcompact cars sold in America today. Drinks regular gas. see full Hyundai Accent review

2008	2dr Hatch 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I average about 30 miles per gallon city/highway... about 27 mpg just city and over 36 mpg just highway. see full Hyundai Accent review

2007	2dr Hatch 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	On my first long trip (Tucson to Guadalajara) I obtained 36.9 miles per gallon with air conditioning on. It was a three day trip and included some city driving although most was on high speed (70 mph plus) toll roads in Mexico. see full Hyundai Accent review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 109hp 1.5L I4 Diesel 5-speed manual FWD	Directly related to driving style, of course. 3.9L/100km achieved with smoothest driving prior to chiptuning and 4.5L/100km after - determined based on 800-900 km drives between refuelling. see full Hyundai Accent review
2005	2dr Hatch 104-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Over 30 mpg with a lead foot. see full Hyundai Accent review

2014	0	MPG is the worst thing about this car. Lucky to get 30 mpg on flat roads without A/C running. My 10 year old Malibu got about 26 mpg and was a much heavier car with a more powerful engine. see full Hyundai Accent review
2010	4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Seems to average 8L or less all seasons for city driving, typically Highway mountain driving at 90km/h you can easily average 5 L Per 100km as you go faster it consumes more gas. Pretty standard with any vehicle. see full Hyundai Accent review
