The newest generation diesel engines have won many fans thanks to their outstanding performance together with their low consumption. Injection pressure has been increased, operation smoothness enhanced and noise levels optimised, while reduced compression makes for lower emissions. Thanks to the systematic deployment of extensive BlueEFFICIENCY technologies, the ML 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC is seen as the leading light in its vehicle class with regard to emissions and fuel consumption.
The new petrol engine’s direct injection and increased compression give outstanding ratings for torque, output and noise reduction. Through the use of innovative engine technology it has been possible to reduce emissions and fuel consumption significantly in comparison to its predecessor.
with a Cd rating of 0.32, the new M-Class is a benchmark in its segment.The significantly improved aerodynamics were achieved through a wide range of measures such as the lowered suspension, aerodynamically efficient underbody panelling, radiator shutters which can be shut, a roof spoiler and newly-designed exterior mirrors.
In addition, the ECO start/stop function, which comes as standard in all models, switches off the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill and the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission provides optimum fuel consumption by permanently adjusting the engine speed.
