Good news for fans of petrol engines: in the new C-Class Estate, the output and torque of the 4-cylinder supercharged engine was further increased and the fuel consumption was improved thanks to new software for the engine management system and a modified piston profile. For instance, the C 180 KOMPRESSOR now delivers 115 kW (156 hp) and maximum torque of 230 Nm. The C 200 KOMPRESSOR produces a magnificent 135 kW (184 hp) and 250 Nm. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h requires just 9.8 and 8.8 seconds, with a top speed of 218 and 228 km/h respectively.
(C 180 KOMPRESSOR: fuel consumption combined: 7.7–7.8 l/100 km, CO2 emissions[1] combined: 183–192 g/km; C 200 KOMPRESSOR: fuel consumption combined: 7.8–8.0 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 184-193 g/km)[2]
Refined power – in the shape of three 6-cylinder engines in the C 230, C 280 and C 350 which combine incredibly smooth operation with powerful acceleration. The C 230 with its 150 kW (204 hp) performance reaches a top speed of 232 km/h. The C 280 excels with 170 kW (231 hp). And the C 350 accelerates with an uncompromising 200 kW (272 hp) in just 6.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. The maximum torque of 245, 300 and 350 Nm respectively is available across a very wide engine speed range, ensuring impressive power reserves are on tap in any driving situation.
All the V6 engines are particularly economical in terms of fuel use, thanks to four precisely adjustable camshafts whose position can be optimised in line with changing requirements. This system ensures that the engines are always provided with exactly the right amount of fuel for the driving situation. The 6-cylinder models are also clearly recognisable from the outside by their two-pipe exhaust system.
(C 230: fuel consumption combined: 9.3-9.5 l/100 km, CO2 emissions[1] combined: 221 g/km; C 280: fuel consumption combined: 9.4-9.6 l/100 km, CO2 emissions[1] combined: 224 g/km; C 350: fuel consumption combined: 9.9-10.2 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 235 g/km)[2]
