Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate

The family of bodywork Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate is available with the same petrol and diesel engines that the Class C bodywork with four doors.


Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate

Not a car larger than the saloon-there are only 15 mm difference in their lengths with a trunk-or much higher if loads up to the bumper covers luggage has only 10 litres more (485 compared to 475 l). If you use all the space up to the ceiling, it is possible to carry bulky items that do not fit within the four gates.


Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate

The best thing about this model is the suspension: the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate is a comfortable car, easy to drive and very safe for their reactions.


Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate

A Family Class C 200 CDI, 136 hp, more than any other car of its size and power. An Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TDI (140 hp) or a Volvo V50 2.0 D Kinetic cost less. The BMW 320d Touring costs almost the same thing.


Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate

In Diesel there is a 200 CDI (136 hp), a 220 CDI (170 hp) and 320 CDI (224 hp). In petrol variants are: 180 K (156 hp), 200 K (180 hp), 280 (204 hp), 350 (272 hp) and C63 AMG (457 hp).


Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate

Since May 2008 there were two new versions, called 180 K BlueEfficiency and 200 CDI BlueEfficiency, which are distinguished because its consumption is lower due to changes in the engines, gearboxes and aerodynamics.


Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate versions of gasoline with the name 'K' are four cylinders and have volumetric compressor. Versions of 280 and 350 petrol engines have six cylinders atmospheric; C63 AMG version has a naturally aspirated engine from eight cylinders.

All versions have a standard six-speed manual shift, except the C 350 that has a seven-speed automatic gearbox '7G-Tronic. Its automatic gearbox is optional for the other six-cylinder versions (petrol or diesel).


Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate C 320 CDI is also available with the system of permanent total traction that premiered on Class C saloon.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate

The body Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate versions have a family and consumer benefits something worse than the saloon equivalent. This is because the weight and aerodynamic differences that exists between the two: the family weighs 50 kg more than its equivalent version of four doors and has an aerodynamic coefficient of 0.32 versus 0.29.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate

There are several systems expected to bear the burden either subject and properly distributed inside the trunk, as nets, hooks, rings or bars telescopic.

The endorsement of the rear seats can reduce (in the four-door is an option), and when it does, is a surface load completely trimming the floor of the trunk while not completely horizontal. Under these conditions, the volume grows to 1,500 l.

Mercedes-Benz CLS

The Mercedes-Benz CLS model year 2007 gets new engines and components of equipment. The range of Mercedes-Benz CLS engines will be composed of three petrol and one turbo.


Mercedes-Benz CLS

The gasoline less potent than take the CLS 350 CGI is completely new. It gives maximum power of 292 hp and is characterized by using a system of direct injection that increases its thermodynamic efficiency and reduces polluting emissions, is based on who has the Mercedes-Benz CLS 350. The initials come from English CGI 'Stratified-Charged Gasoline Injection.


Mercedes-Benz CLS

With this engine Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 CGI reaches 250 mph, accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 6.7 s and has an average consumption that Mercedes-Benz estimated at between 9.1 and 9.3 litres/100 km. The supply and consumption are identical to that of a BMW 530i with a 258 hp engine and gearbox also automatic.


Mercedes-Benz CLS

The other two petrol engines have eight cylinders in 'V' and are the same who had just received the E-Class from the S-Class: one of 5,461 cm ³ that gives maximum power of 388 hp and another 6,208 cm ³ with 514 hp.


Mercedes-Benz CLS

Thus, the Mercedes-Benz CLS 500 accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 5.4 s and has an average consumption of 11.6 litres/100 km. In other words, is a bit faster than a BMW 550i automatic or a Jaguar S-Type R and has a consumption of fuel between the two.


Mercedes-Benz CLS

The Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG takes on the same measuring 4.5 s. It is therefore somewhat faster than the BMW M5 and also consumes less. This version has some elements that distinguish it from the rest, as the tires of 18 "with varying degrees of tires (225/40 front, 285/35 rear) bumper or the exhaust outlets. The stability control can be switched off but is automatically activated if the driver steps on the brake pedal.

The diesel-engine version, the Mercedes-Benz CLS 320 CDI, maintains the same power (224 hp) but its maximum torque rises 30 Nm, reaching 540 Nm. According to data that has provided Mercedes-Benz, benefits and consumption are the same.


Mercedes-Benz CLS

All engines, both petrol and diesel, are associated with the automatic gearbox "7G-Tronic 'which is characterized by seven marches forward and two backwards. In addition, there are now some new controls on the steering wheel (optional) to change gear manually, according to Mercedes-Benz, thus the changes are 0.2 s fastest.

Mercedes-Benz CLS

The Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG version has a specific programming change; if mode 'S' passage of a march to another is 30 percent faster than in the way 'C', and how 'M' near a 50 per cent more.

Mercedes-Benz CLS

The equipment also has new features, some of them already seen in the recent renovation of the E-Class: the brake system "Adaptive Brake" which premiered Class S, the brake lights of varying intensity or passive safety systems " Pre-Safe " and " Neck-Pro " series will be in the range of CFA.

Mercedes-Benz CLS

Also bear serial connection automatic windscreen wipers with two levels of sensitivity adjustable and automatic climate control "Thermatic" with digital display. Optionally, and in partnership with ventilated seats, there will be some new head whose side will be able to better adjust to the head. For the interior decorations there are two optional packages with different combinations of materials and colors.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The new Mercedes-Benz M-Class has grown in all its dimensions, except in the height (now 9 mm lowest). Thus, measuring 4,737 mm in length, 1,904 mm in width and the battle reaches 2,915 mm (compared with 4,587, 1,833 and 2,820 mm model that is being replaced).


Mercedes-Benz M-Class

For length is something between the SUVs of similar size (bigger than a BMW X5 or a Jeep Grand Cherokee and smaller than a Volvo XC90, a Porsche Cayenne or a Nissan Murano), is one of the most wide (after the duo Touareg - Cayenne) and higher.


Mercedes-Benz M-Class

With the new design aerodynamics has improved significantly, dropping the value of resistance coefficient from 0.39 to 0.34.


Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The interior space has also increased and, as Mercedes-Benz M-Class, there are 35 mm and 32 more to the knees and shoulders of the rear passengers. With the rear seat backs shot (are divided in the proportion 63:37) and the sidewalk extracted is a peak load of 2,050 l (30 l more than the previous model, according to the VDA standard) and an area of load of 210 cm in length. The volume of luggage compartment under normal conditions is 551 l.


Mercedes-Benz M-Class

Initially there will be four engines, two petrol and two diesel, the latter two are new. In both cases it is the same V6, fabricated aluminium, with different powers. Thus in the ML 280 CDI is 190 hp and 440 Nm and the ML 320 CDI 224 hp and 510 Nm.


Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The acceleration of 0 to 100 mph is 10.4 and 9.4 s, respectively, 200 and the maximum speed 210 km / h. With both engines have approved an average consumption of 9.4 litres/100 km. After the Land Rover Discovery 3 TDV6 2.7 S are those who spend at least that margin of powers.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The two remaining are the petrol engines, one will take the ML 350 (is the same that have the SLK, CLS or the Class E) that gives 272 hp and 350 Nm. The remainder is in an eight-cylinder "V" (all others are six cylinders, also in "V") of 306 hp that will take the ML500.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class Engine


Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The gearbox will be the same in all these models, the automatic seven relations called '7G-Tronic ". It is novel that Mercedes has eliminated the gear lever from its usual location in the tunnel-Central-and has placed in the form of a lever with electronic control, in the column address (seems very similar to the one that leads the BMW Series 7). There are also buttons on the steering wheel to change gear. Mercedes-Benz M-Class has termed this "Direct Select".

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The chassis is self kind (formerly of stringers), with the same suspension system-independent four-wheel-that the previous model, but with the novelty of being able to mount the suspension of air 'Airmatic "which includes an adaptive damping electronically controlled.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The tyres are far 235/65/17, except for the eight-cylinder engine, which takes about 255/55R18. All are aluminum wheels. There is an optional sport package that includes tires, 19 ".

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The drive system-Mercedes-Benz M-Class calls it "4ETS" - has been improved and now has support for relegation, and a torn in outstanding ABS prepared to travel off-road.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

There is an optional package called "Off-Road Pro" in which the drive system is prepared to move off-road incorporating reductive (the group can be put in place short, provided they are moving at a speed of less than 40 km / h and the lever of change in this neutral), manual or automatic-locking differential-central and rear, and a variant of the suspension of air increases the free distance to the ground.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

Have two-stage front airbags, front and side curtain. All belts carry tension limiters and pretensioners and front head restraints are active type (reduce the risk of injury if a collision scope). In addition, the new ML brings the system "Pre-safe" that recognizes the proximity of a possible accident, taking certain steps to reduce potential damage to occupants in the event that happens. More information on this system in the S-Class

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

Among the equipment is possible the climate Multi 'Thermotronic' xenon headlamps for short and long with bend lighting and crossings, the information system "Command APS" or support for parking "Parktronic".

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The new six-cylinder diesel engine in 'V' replaces the five-cylinder in line, 2,685 hp and 177 cm ³. It has 2,987 cm ³, and in which for now is its most powerful configuration, gives 224 hp at 3,800 rpm and a torque of 510 Nm constant between 1,600 and 2,800 rpm. It incorporates the third generation system through common and direct injection, with piezoelectric injectors (up to five injections per cycle and 1,600 bar), variable geometry turbo-controlled electronically-and intercooler. The V form at angle of 72 º.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The block, cylinder heads and their lids, the distributor of pressure and the crankcase oil are made from aluminium. The rods are of new alloy forged steel, which works in reducing weight.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

It is the first V6 diesel with aluminum crankcase, crankshaft (`open-deck"); without him ( "closed-deck") was already the Isuzu V6, mounted on Renault and Saab models.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The measures in this release are 83.0 x 92.0 mm, giving a displacement of 2,987 cm ³. The compression ratio is 18.0 to 1; falls within the current trend of lowering the compression ratio in Diesels, but does not go as down as other recent engines.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The butts have four valves per cylinder with dual distribution camshaft in each and balancers roller with hydraulic adjustment. The trees are moved by a double chain, which also turns the axis of balanced and diesel pump high pressure.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

To minimize vibration, there is a balanced axis between the two benches, which rotates at the same speed as the crankshaft. This is supported on four bearings, 5 mm or greater than the six-cylinder engine in line to achieve such a reduction in vibration. According to Mercedes-Benz M-Class, bending and torsion stiffness of this piece is two times higher than that of the "engines precedents."

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The oil pump is moved by an independent chain. The oil, after passing through the filter, is sent to a exchanged oil-water that sits between the two benches. They assert that the cooling capacity of this exchanger prevents oil exceeding 130 º. For inside the shaft balanced oil flowing in the direction of the bearings, cylinder heads and injectors oil cooled cylinders (which are opened from a certain pressure).
