Mercedes-Benz C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Prime Edition

Mercedes-Benz is set to launch a completely new diesel engine generation starting in the autumn of 2008. For its world premiere, the Stuttgart-based car manufacturer will unveil a C-Class model with this new four-cylinder engine. In the C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Prime Edition, this engine produces, with its 2.2 litres of displacement, 150 kW / 204 hp and 500 Nm of torque. The premiere model can accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 7.0 seconds, on the way to its top speed of 250 km/h. Notwithstanding these exceptional performance figures, the Prime Edition only consumes an average of 5.2 litres of fuel per 100 km (NEDC), with CO2 emissions of 138 g/km. The engine impresses with its eager responsiveness and smoothness of operation, which can make it a sensible alternative to the higher-displacement six-cylinder engines in future.

its like the 2.5 V6 engine and the 1.8 Turbocharged BlueEFFICIENCY engine but with much higher torque

[korencek]

I'll buy one in 2 years, when the prices of used cars drop below 15000€.

I've got one.

The gearbox is geared... towards economy.

Still, 7 sec. to 100 km/H is quite good and the incredible torque (500 NM) is huge.

Imagine riding a sttep inclination mountain road with lots and lots of steep curves in 5th gear... It's almost like an automatic... except for the incredible consumption figures (like an average 6 liters per 100 kms - average of all driving scenarios - and i'm a nervous driver. That's amazing, to say the least.

5.2l /100km is pretty nice, but about 45000€ isn't nice ...

;)

WOW!

[pera3000]

5,2l /100 km is pretty good for 0-100 in 7 sec=)
