THE C220 CDI engine is a 2.148-litre, 16-valve, four-cylinder diesel engine that uses a variable turbocharger and modern common rail injection system that combines strong pulling power with low fuel consumption. It produces 105kW at 4200rpm and 315Nm between 1800-2600rpm. Claimed acceleration from rest to 100km/h is 10.3 seconds and maximum speed is 220km/h. Official European fuel consumption figures point to 8.7L/100km on the city cycle and a frugal 4.6L/100km on the highway.
