Mercedes-Benz E-Class
300d 4MATIC diesel AWD automatic
The Mercedes-Benz E300d tested here is a station wagon with a two-litre diesel engine, providing 210 kW peak power and 550 Nm of torque. The empty weight of the luxurious vehicle is 2,077 kg. The car takes every advantage of the efficiency of its diesel powertrain, which is supported by a 48 V mild-hybrid system. Consumption values below 6 l/100 km are realistic. Nevertheless, the consumption figures are not low enough to help the Mercedes get more than 1.9 points in the Greenhouse Gas Index. The truly astonishing achievement of Mercedes' engineers is visible in the Clean Air Index: with 9.3 points out of 10, the diesel E-Class becomes the cleanest combustion-engined vehicle Green NCAP has tested so far. The E-Class maintains control over the pollutants in all tests, while minimising both NOx and particle number to extreme levels. Overall, the E300d earns an Average Score of 50% and 3 Green Stars.
