It is in the air. Model for the V6 and V8 left the glorious Mercedes CLS 250 CDI tests support the four-cylinder diesel. Less formal, but very successful in their field of machine. After the Jaguar XF and Mercedes CLS host for the first time a 4-cylinder. It's called democracy.

Myth falling one by one. At the Porsche diesel passes the higher end model V6 and V8 leave their precious support the four-cylinder diesel. So far the only master on board, cut into 4-door pioneer obliged to organize themselves to face new competition and ambitious. Audi A7 and the future in mind BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, and at a lower level of the VW CC.

For this, the German brand has been built on the Blue Efficiency program and the small 4-cylinder 250 CDI. A machine was born in late 2008, under the hood of the C-Class which has quickly established itself as the successor of the good old CDI 200 and 220. Adapting the three levels of power (136 hp, 170 hp and 204 hp), a feature common rail technology, piezo injectors and a new dual supercharger (136 hp version has a single turbo).

Implemented here without definition 204 hp, the engine is running with bold cutting large German 1785 kg. If not the nobility of the V6 in a soft voice, this 4-cylinder, can not rely on spontaneous response and especially its regularity in revving. It's nervous, a little bat in the 2000 r / min, 500 Nm of torque unload her in a linear fashion. It can also boast a very low return. We will always keep the attitude in the right leg without ever needing to change the blade of the 7G Tronic. The only drawback is his voice. Only suitable for the Taxi. In the piece to be € 60 000 was a mess.
The value of consumption (6.0 l/100 km, was raised by us) and emission (134 g CO2/100 km) is relatively low, is not obtained at the expense of performance since the CLS reaches 100 km / h in 7.5 s and the v-max 242 km / h. like performance V6.

The elegance of her wearing star pieces A7 Sportback and BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe

Road, CLS does not show the activity of a coupe. However, it has a good combine comfort and effective response. Depreciation, outstanding basic, familiar term for perfection when it is attached to the Airmatic suspension (option to € 2,200). Add to that a subject worthy of the greatest and you get a big way.Curious? But true.
This baby is greater than 4.94 m do not forget the many genes off. The driving position low to the ground and boarding needs are always subject. In contrast, a large trunk (520 liters) and two rear seats are a reminder that the CLS sedan has blood in his veins. You'll have no qualms about walking around the whole family on the wound.
12 with the driving aids and nine airbags, Mercedes can claim the highest level of security currently active on the market. Note that the coupe heralds new generation of lighting technology by combining the LED lighting system (Adaptive Intelligent Light Assist). A € 1 800, options, view can only be cleaned.
