Mars has an elliptical orbit, so it is sometimes closer to the Sun, and it is sometimes farther away from the sun.The 'mean distance' of an astronomical body is the average of the farthest and nearest points in its orbit from the body it orbits.

When at its farthest, Mars is approximately 249,209,300 km / 154.8 million miles or 1.665861 AU* from the Sun.

When at its the nearest, it is approximately 206,669,000 km / 128.4 million miles or 1.381497 AU* from the Sun.

This makes the mean distance of Mars from the Sun in the course of one complete revolution 227,939,100 km / 141.6 million miles or 1.523679 AU.

* 1 AU (Astronomical Unit) is equivalent to the Earth's mean distance from the Sun. 227,936,640 km

Between 249 and 206 million kilometers. (Mars has a somewhat excentric orbit.)
