November 25, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
Mercedes-Benz has updated the C-Class to include the BlueEFFICIENCY technology and the C 180 KOMPRESSOR BlueEFFICIENCY joins its thirstier siblings in UK dealerships this coming January. UK luxury car buyers have a new, more fuel-efficient option in the saloon category.
Mercedes says the new model can save company car users up to £370.80 with its 11 percent increase in fuel economy and 18 g/km drop in CO2 emissions (down to 149). It also gets 37.3 mpg (US) on the European combined cycle. These greener changes are the result of a lighter car, better aero design and improved “energy management.” The best part is that the BlueEFFICIENCY model replaces the previous C 180 without a price increase. Some of you will appreciate that this BlueEFFICICNEY model still provides 156 hp and 230 Nm of torque.
