Mercedes develops eco-friendly engines for E-Class

There will be five newly developed and modified engines available with the new E-Class Coupe that offer more power, lower fuel consumption and lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions than their predecessors.

There are four-, six- and eight-cylinder diesel and petrol power plants with outputs that range from 150kW/204hp to 285kW/388hp.

Let’s take a look at what’s available:

- New four-cylinder engine: A 2.1 litre four-cylinder diesel engine that features the latest common-rail direct injection as well as enhanced exhaust gas recirculation and twin turbochargers. The E250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY coupe has an output of 150kW, a torque of 500Nm and produces around 36 per cent more power than the outgoing model. It also consumes around 17 per cent less fuel at 46mpg with emissions at 135g/km.

- New six-cylinder diesel engine: At the top of the diesel range this is a 3.0 litre E350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Coupe that has an output of 170kW and a torque of 540Nm. Fuel consumption is considerably less than the previous model at 35mpg with emissions at 179g/km.

- New four-cylinder petrol direct injection engine: The new E250 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY Coupe model has a direct gasoline injection displacement of 1.8 litres with a 150kW output. Fuel consumption is a meagre 33mpg with CO2 emissions cut to 167g/km.

- Six-cylinder spray guided petrol direct injection engine: The E350 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY Coupe uses a 3.5 litre petrol engine with spray-guided direct injection. Fuel consumption has been cut to 27.7mpg which is 14 per cent less than the previous model.

- V8 petrol engine: The E500 Couple includes a 5.5 litre eight-cylinder engine that develops 285kW with fuel consumption at 21.2mpg.
