B-Class comes with a diesel engine: the B 180 CDI with an output of 80 kW (109 hp). Torque figures of up to 250 ensure power to spare and pleasurable driving.
Common-rail technology, in the diesel engines, ensures both high torque and low consumption. The common rail keeps the fuel at a permanently high pressure throughout the engine speed range and injects finely atomised, precisely metered quantities of fuel into the combustion chambers. The result is a reduction in fuel consumption and lower pollutant emissions.
Dynamic as they are, the diesel engines also can keep a very low profile – as you’ll notice from their economical consumption and low exhaust emissions.
