38 percent of all Mercedes models with a fuel consumption below 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres

Stuttgart, Feb 21, 2007
More than 38 percent of all new Mercedes cars sold in Europe consume fewer than 6.5 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres. And one in five new Mercedes-Benz cars has a fuel consumption of no more than around five litres per 100 kilometres. Mercedes-Benz currently offers a total of eleven passenger-car models whose average consumption is between just 4.9 and 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres.
In 2006, around 34 percent of all Mercedes customers in Germany opted for a new car with a fuel consumption of below 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres. Around 18 percent of German customers chose a model which consumes no more than five litres per 100 kilometres. Mercedes-Benz is the only premium brand to offer such an extensive range of low-consumption models, including compact cars, sports tourers, saloons and coup?s.

The A 160 CDI is the most fuel-efficient Mercedes model of all, with a combined fuel consumption of 4.9 to 5.2 litres per 100 kilometres (depending on tyre size). Boasting an output of 60 kW/82 hp, the compact car has a range of up to 1100 kilometres on a single tank of fuel (54 litres). Mercedes-Benz also offers executive models that can achieve a fuel consumption of around 6 litres per 100 kilometres in the shape of the E 200 CDI and the E 220 CDI. The four-cylinder saloons (with an output of 100 kW/136 hp and 125 kW/170 hp respectively) consume a mere 6.3 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres and, on a full tank (65 litres), can cover in excess of 1000 kilometres. If the optional 80-litre fuel tank is ordered, the range of the CDI saloons is extended to over 1250 kilometres, equivalent to driving from Berlin to Florence.

The amount of fuel consumed by the four-cylinder CDI engines in the C-Class is reduced by a further 0.3 litres per 100 kilometres. In the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), the new C 200 CDI and C 220 CDI models post a fuel-consumption figure of just 6.1 litres per 100 kilometres.

Awesome....

I love the A Class.

[fasteddy]

Too bad none of those models are available in North America. What does that mean? Are people representing Mercedes doing the survey not doing a good job? Or most of us don't see the need of it?

[smartzuuk]

Probably the latter, but you can p/u new group of owners perhaps over time with a shift in offering.

The question is how to not mix up the other core business. Although C Class is biggest seller, and the price isn't THAT outrageous.

[fasteddy]

The B-Class is now doing exceptionally well dispite the early comparison against Japanese cars. Very little to go wrong.

[smartzuuk]

All of those cars would qualify for $1000 federal rebate in Canada today, some even $1500

As you may know, 6.5 L/100 is the starting point for the rebates. $500 for each additional .5 L/100, up to $2000 max. (Or the smart would get $3000)

[fasteddy]

That maybe the wick to have those models import to Canada.

That would be nice, but I am not holding my breath, as they say
