Hi, I have been driving a bog standard basic 2011 C220 blue efficiency when I recently changed to the new 2014 spec E220. Although they use the same engine etc and both have stop-start etc, gearbox, I suddenly realised that the E Class wasn't also badged as a 'Blue Efficiency'?? Does it still benefit from all the same efficiency enhancements as the old car or is it intentionally down spec'd and retrograde to make the E350 hybrid in the range all the better?
I must admit the e220 seems both more powerful but also significantly worse in fuel efficiency than the c220 after 1,000 miles and it bothers me that this may in part be due to an older, less refined non-blue efficiency spec'd engine.
Why would MB fit a less advanced engineering spec engine in a more modern, posher class car if so??
