Hi all

Was reading through tech data for the E320 cdi and found this:

E320 CDI Sport 4d Tip Auto (7) (Euro 4) BHP 162 0-60 6.6 secs MPG 37


E320 CDI Avantgarde 4d Auto BHP 204 0-60 7.5 secs MPG 40


E320 CDI Avantgarde 4d Auto (Euro 4) BHP 204 0-60 7.5 secs MPG 36

Now the (inevitable) questions;

How come the smaller engine with the smaller horsepower is faster than the bigger ones and has less fuel economy?

How can I tell if my 2004 E320 cdi is EU4 spec or not? Fuel economy is less on EU4 ones is less if these stats are anything to go by.


Thanks.

Thanks Malcolm, checked it already. Detailed Version - all it lists about engine are engine capacity and engine number.

Some that I do is to get an original sales book from Ebay for the year of my car, as all of the original specs are at the rear, they only cost a cpouple of pounds, and nie to keep with the car.

I think the 162BHP for the V6 3Ltr E320CDI maybe a typo on MB's part as the same engine is 224BHP in the CLS and the C class.

 

[blassberg]

thanks BC - close enough but 224 HP and 221 BHP I think

Yes you can have th 'B' for free, or 3...

Checked the spec sheet from the MB dealer I got it from. It says E320cd Avantgarde (EU4). BUT it also says the car is an ESTATE. Been driving it awhile now and I am pretty sure it's a saloon, so don't have too much faith in what they have in their spec sheet. When queried, dealer said it was a typo!

Fortunately, if it had said that they would have been wrong also. Can't fault it (touch wood)
