Mercedes releases two more efficient E-Class models in Europe
Filed under: Diesel, MPG, Mercedes Benz, HCCI
At September's Frankfurt Motor Show Mercedes-Benz showed off an array of more efficient vehicles including diesels, HCCI and hybrids. Two of the new models are now rolling into Mercedes showrooms in Europe in the form of additions to the E-Class lineup. The new E300 Bluetec brings the latest urea-injected clean diesel technology to European drivers in a big sedan or wagon. The 211 hp V-6 yields over 31 mpg (US) on the EU combined driving cycle. Over on the gasoline-fueled side of the family, the E350 CGI is live action not computer generated imagery. The new second-generation direct injection system first appeared last year in the CLS 350 and now gives the E-Class an extra 15 hp while improving mileage to 27 mpg on the EU cycle, an improvement of ten percent.
