These days people don't read specs, they are more impressed by the styling and tech gadgets.why can't they just take the spec sheet lol.![]()
Electrification continues: C 200 with EQ Boost
A new generation of four-cylinder petrol engines is being launched in the new C-Class. At the same time these models are equipped with an additional 48 volt onboard network with a belt-driven starter/alternator (EQ Boost). The new petrol model will be launched as the C 200 and C 200 4MATIC with a displacement of 1.5 litres, with a 2.0-litre variant to follow later.
The combination of a 48 volt onboard network and EQ Boost creates the conditions for additional functions that help to reduce fuel consumption even further, while improving agility and comfort characteristics. When accelerating, EQ Boost can assist the 135 kW (184 hp) engine with an additional 10 kW (14 hp), bridging the brief moment until the turbocharger has built up its full charge pressure. This boosting is also used to reach the engine's ideal rpm as quickly as possible during gearshifts. The shift time of the automatic transmission is shortened as a result. During deceleration, the starter/alternator recuperates kinetic energy and charges the battery. The water pump is electrically driven and actuated by a characteristic map. This optimally adapts the cooling output to the current need.
160nmGlorious. Mild hybrids will make excellent diesel replacement.
Would you know how much torque the electric model produce?
I think that Autogefühl is the best in this kind of videos.
Here are performance figures and details for the C200 and C220d with new engines from AMS.Electrification continues: C 200 with EQ Boost

The C-Class perfected..i love it.
This power and torque comes in much later in the new c200. That explains the slower performance.What is very strange I noticed when comparing the new C200 to the Pre facelift model with the older 2.0 ltr engine, is that it is slower in acceleration.
0-100 km/h - New C200 -7.7sec; Old C200 -7.2sec
0-100 km/h - New C200 4matic - 8.1sec; Old C200 4matic - 7.4sec
Top speed - New C200 -239km/h; Old C200 -237km/h
Top speed - New C200 4matic - 234km/h; Old C200 4matic -234km/h
New C220d is faster
0-100 km/h - New C220d -6.9sec; Old C220d -7.5sec
Top speed - New C220d -240km/h; Old C220d -235km/h
