Car manufacturers did nothing but to bring out innovative technologies dedicated in producing exceptional, practical and clean vehicles without compromising their fun-to-drive characteristic. Today, Mercedes has come up with their version of a clean and practical vehicle - and it takes two! The E 300 BLUETEC and the E 350 CGI.
The E 300 BLUETEC is said to have the cleanest and most fuel-efficient executive-class diesel engine. The E 320 BLUETEC, which is promoting very rapidly and it has been selected "World Green Car of the Year 2007" next to the booming launch of the world’s pioneering BLUETEC passenger car in the United States. In Europe, Mercedes-Benz is now presenting BLUETEC technology for the world's cleanest diesel as well. The new E 300 BLUETEC is offered as the cleanest and most practical diesel in the executive class with instant effect.
The E 350 CGI features an unconventional direct-injection petrol engine along with a spray-guided combustion procedure. The E 350 CGI is an industry-first and the world's first V6 petrol engine with this ground-breaking combustion system and piezo-electric injection. It was unveiled in the CLS 350 CGI during springtime last year. Today, it is available for the Saloon and Estate in the high-volume E-Class as well.
The E 350 CGI remained in the series, and if we are to compare it to the E 350, the 215 kW/292 hp V-engine generates 20 hp more production and 15 newton metres more torque (365 Nm) while guzzling ten percent less fuel.
