Most Fuel Efficient Mercedes-Benz SUV

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 is the most fuel efficient Mercedes-Benz SUV. It is the cheapest to fill up and it travels further for every dollar spent. The only downside to it is it’s small gas tank. Ironically, with the GLA, you will spend more time at gas stations but you will save the most money. Additionally, the benefit of the diesel engine is non-existent at the current market prices. Now leave a comment!
