High-mileage owners will feel the diesel's advantage most on long drives. Since both variants cost the same, match each figure to its GLC engine, then check what that version costs to own.

Mercedes-Benz GLC mileage: common questions
Which GLC is more efficient?
The diesel GLC 220d at 19.47 kmpl clearly leads the petrol GLC 300 at 14.72 kmpl. The gap grows on long highway runs.
Is the petrol GLC thirsty?
At 14.72 kmpl it is not extreme for a powerful all-wheel-drive SUV. Mild-hybrid assistance helps it in slow city traffic.
Will the GLC hit its rated mileage?
Real figures usually fall below the 14.72 to 19.47 kmpl band. Traffic, load and driving style all pull consumption higher than the lab test.
