Real-world fuel consumption
4,684 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol hybrid versions average 12.8 l/100 km on the road, against 9.8 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 32% more. Plug-in hybrids use 13.7 l/100 km against 8.0 l/100 km on paper, with 11% of their distance covered with the engine off.
| Fuel | Cars | On the road | WLTP | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 1,622 | 16.5 | 13.3 | +24% |
| Petrol hybrid | 2,818 | 12.8 | 9.8 | +32% |
| Plug-in hybrid | 244 | 13.7 | 8.0 | +71% |
