U K gets C 250 4 cyl CDI,D/E hybrid by 2011
Thanks to CROCKERS on the other forum:
Mercedes Benz C-Class Bluetch (2009 - 2012) Mercedes Benz C-Class Bluetech (2009 - 2012) What's Good 2009: C 250 BLUETEC, V6 performance 57.7 mpg and EU6 potential With the C 250 BLUETEC Mercedes-Benz launches its new generation of 4-cylinder engines in 2009. The strong, clean and extremely economical 2.2 litre drive delivers 204 hp and produces a maximum torque of 480 Nm –values which until recently could only be achieved by 6-cylinder diesel powerplants with a displacement of at least 3 litres. These values enable the C 250 BLUETEC to achieve a remarkable driving performance. It accelerates in just 7.9 seconds from zero to 62 mph, reaching a top speed of 152 mph. At the same time, fuel consumption figures are exceptionally low for its class. Fuel consumption is just 57.7 mpg and CO2 emissions only 130 g/km. Thanks to comprehensive BLUETEC exhaust gas purification, the new diesel is as clean as a petrol engine in all exhaust gas components, so that it will be able to comply with a future EU6 standard. After 2010: C 300 BLUETEC HYBRID with 204 hp and 61.4 mpg In 2011 the C 300 BLUETEC HYBRID will be the next Mercedes-Benz model benefiting from the unique modular technology concept to enter the market. With a combined power output of 224 hp and a combined maximum torque of 560 Nm, the engine delivers the same performance here as it does in the S 300 BLUETEC HYBRID and the E 300 BLUETEC HYBRID. Due to its lower vehicle weight, the C 300 BLUETEC accelerates even faster (0-62 mph in 7.2 s), while its top speed stands at 147 mph. Even with such superior performance for a vehicle in this class, the C 300 BLUETEC HYBRID is capable of 61.4 mpg, achieving in the process CO2 emissions of just 122 g/km, the lowest of any vehicle in its class in the world. The extremely efficient emissions control system in the C 300 BLUETEC HYBRID uses – like the E 300 BLUETEC HYBRID – the combination of oxidation catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter from the version of BLUETEC with the NOx storage catalytic converter, giving it the potential to meet even the most stringent emissions standards like EU6 and BIN5. |

Very interesting
I like the base 250 idea.
While I never see the point in the hybrid on a diesel, done properly there is no need for all that added weight, batteries and electronic gysmos. Diesel alone is the pure and simple favorite.

New diesel engines are very smooth in starting an running, so if a hybrid gasser works, sort of, a diesel hybrid is even better.
