Sophisticated, efficient four-cylinder engines make for lower fuel consumption and less environmental pollution without having to compromise on classic Mercedes attributes such as ride comfort and driving enjoyment. As shown by two new E-Class models, which Mercedes-Benz is introducing to complete its engine line-up in the executive category.
The diesel powerplant in the E 200 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY has a displacement of 2143 cc, an output of 100 kW/136 hp, and consumes 5.2 to 5.5 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres (CO2 emissions: 137 - 145 g/km), enabling the Saloon to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 10.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 210 km/h.The petrol engine in the new E 200 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY boasts a displacement of 1.8 litres and an output of 135 kW/184 hp. It takes 8.5 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h and has a top speed of 232 km/h. This model consumes 7.2 litres of premium unleaded petrol (RON 95) per 100 kilometres (CO2 emissions: 169 g/km), not least thanks to the ECO start/stop function, which is fitted as standard in conjunction with the six-speed manual transmission.
These are all-new four-cylinder powerplants with direct injection. One of the main features of the new diesel engine is latest-generation common-rail direct injection. The likewise new four-cylinder petrol engine with direct injection is fitted with a turbocharger as well as adjustable intake and exhaust camshafts.
