Review Automotive M ercedes-Benz has discharged a breakdown of the accessible powertrains on the 2017 E-Class it will offer in Europe, including specifics on another 2.0-liter turbodiesel inline-four. The new oil-burner speaks to "the conception of another Mercedes-Benz motor family," so we can hope to see it appear in more European applications soon.
The new motor replaces the active 2.1-liter diesel four-barrel utilized as a part of the U.S business sector's active E250 Bluetec. Mercedes-Benz will utilize the E220d terminology for this model in Europe, and the new motor is useful for 195 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. That power coordinates the yield of the old motor regardless of the littler size, however torque is down altogether contrasted with the 2.1-liter's heavy 369 lb-ft. The E220d will be combined to Benz's new nine-speed programmed transmission, and Mercedes claims the new plant accomplishes "new measurements in productivity." Single-stage turbocharging with variable turbine geometry are a piece of the new bundle, alongside an aluminum chamber head and crankcase and diminished contact between the barrel and cylinder.
A representative from Mercedes-Benz would not remark on when this new diesel-fueled 2017 E-Class would hit U.S. shores. Given the circumstances (much obliged, VW), Mercedes-Benz USA may really not know yet, either. There should be a diesel C-Class (C300d) hitting showrooms in the U.S. by this month, however no doubt course of events has been deferred. A GLC300d is likewise gotten ready for 2016, yet it stays to be seen whether that dispatch will stay on timetable.
Probably Mercedes-Benz is taking additional measures to guarantee its U.S.- bound diesels meet outflows benchmarks, however you can wager they're likewise assessing popular supposition on diesels when all is said in done. Search for more subtle elements on the eventual fate of diesel in the U.S. as the months go on.
