The powerful and efficient petrol and diesel engines with ECO start/stop function comply with the Euro 6 emissions standards and ensure sporty performance and driving pleasure. Compared with the predecessor certain members of the line-up consume in excess of 20 percent less fuel.
The diesel models of the new C-Class are powered by the further enhanced four-cylinder or a new small four-cylinder engine, which as BlueTEC models are all equipped with SCR (selective catalytic reduction) technology. They cover an output range from 85 kW (116 hp) to 150 kW (204 hp).
In addition, Mercedes-Benz offers a diesel engine combined with a hybrid module. The C 300 BlueTEC HYBRID with four-cylinder diesel engine and compact electric motor generates a power output of 150 + 20 kW (204 + 27 hp) and despite its high power output runs on just 3.8 litres of diesel per 100 km in NEDC combined mode (equivalent to 99 grams of CO2).
Three BlueDIRECT four-cylinder petrol engines and one BlueDIRECT six-cylinder petrol engine with power outputs ranging from 115 to 245 kW (156 to 333 hp) will initially be available for the new C-Class. The four-cylinder C 350 HYBRID with plug-in technology will follow in due course.
