Daimler announced today three new efficient engines for the current Mercedes C Class line-up. The Mercedes C220 BlueEFFICIENCY is the most efficient C-Class ever with a fuel economy of 4.8 l/ 100 km while offering 170 hp and 400 Nm of torque.
The Mercedes C250 CDI is powered by a 2143 cc engine that develops 204 hp and 500 Nm of torque, but at the same time need only 5.1 liter of fuel to go 100 km.
The third new version is the Mercedes C250 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY which is fitted with direct injection and requires 7.2 liters of fuel for 100 km. This model develops 204 hp and 310 Nm of torque.
Mercedes Press Release:
Three newly developed engines with direct injection will make the Mercedes-Benz C-Class even more efficient. They raise performance and driving enjoyment to a new level, while demonstrating exemplary economy and environmental compatibility.
The new engines impress with a low fuel consumption, and therefore exemplary environmental
compatibility, while delivering a high output and therefore outstanding driving pleasure. The new C 220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY saloon, the most efficient C-Class ever, generates 125 kW/170 hp and a torque of 400 Nm from a displacement of 2143 cubic centimeters. This accelerates the saloon from standstill to 100 km/h in 8.4 seconds, yet the combined fuel consumption is only 4.8 liters of diesel per 100 km (corresponding to CO2 emissions of 127 g/km) - the best figure in this category.
The newly developed four-cylinder in the C 250 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY also uses direct injection.
It achieves 150 kW/204 hp and offers 310 Newton meters of torque. The saloon requires 7.4 seconds for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h with the new petrol engine. The combined consumption amounts to 7.2 liters per 100 km (CO2 emissions 168 g/km).
