4 0 Drive system & chassis Safety ComfortPetrol enginesMercedes-Benz offers a wide range of environmentally compatible engines. New technologies reduce fuel consumption, while CO 2 emissions are lower than ever fora Mercedes-Benz C-Class.4-cylinder in-line engines. The optimised 4-cylinderpowerplant with a displacement of 1.8 litres, directpetrol injection, variable valve timing and turbochargeroffers outstanding torque and power, not to mentionappropriately low fuel consumption and emissions.Fuel is used more efficiently thanks to almost completecombustion, while the variable valve timing allowsoptimum cylinder charging and, therefore, reduces fuelconsumption. Fuel consumption is also cut thanks to thereduced weight and low internal friction. Two balancershafts ensure low engine vibration in every engine speedrange.The 4-cylinder petrol engines come with a choice ofthree power outputs:– C 180 BlueEFFICIENCY developing 115 kW anda peak torque of 250 Nm– C 200 BlueEFFICIENCY developing 135 kW anda peak torque of 270 Nm– C 250 BlueEFFICIENCY developing 150 kW anda peak torque of 310 NmAll engines are exceptionally quiet and meet stringentfuel consumption and emission requirements (Euro 5).V6 engine. Over 20% lower fuel consumption than thepredecessor model and correspondingly lower CO 2emissions yet enhanced dynamics – a neat way of summingup the new C 350 BlueEFFICIENCY. These advantagesare primarily down to the latest-generation directpetrol injection from Mercedes-Benz, which operatesusing spray-guided combustion and high-pressure injectionby means of piezo injectors. Maximum output is225 kW, while the peak torque of 370 Nm is availablebetween 3500 and 5250 rpm. In addition to the modifiedcombustion process, further factors which help toreduce fuel consumption include the standard-fitECO start/stop function, a completely new air andexhaust system, controlled ancillaries, intelligentalternator management and consistently applied
