A 4-cylinder BLUETEC engine
On March 6, during the 77th Geneva Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz debuted in world premiere their Vision C220 BLUETEC Concept. This special C-Class combines the benefits of the automaker's 4-cylinder diesel engine and innovative BLUETEC emission control technology.
The engine produces 170 horsepower and an impressive 295 lb-ft of torque. As for fuel economy, Mercedes claims a 5.5 L/100 km rating, which already gives the car a EURO 6 emission certification -- to be mandatory for all new vehicles in Europe by 2015.
It's yet another example of all the efforts Mercedes puts into reducing fuel consumption as well as carbon dioxide and nitrogen emissions. The best thing is, the car is even more fun to drive.
For those of you who have forgotten all about it, last fall, Mercedes introduced in North America their E320 BLUETEC, a car that proves to be one of the most fuel-efficient in its category thanks to a 6.7 L/100 km rating.
