Mercedes-Benz on Thursday launched its roadmap for gasoline engine technology in India by launching a new petrol variant of its entry-level C-Class C200 CGI BlueEfficiency sedan, priced at Rs 28.44 lakh (ex-showroom price, Mumbai).

With the new technology, the engine can run with high excess air and thus offer excellent fuel efficiency. Thus in the C-Class, the C 200CGI will replace the C 200 Kompressor in the model range.

The new C-Class 200 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY equipped with the new engine technology consumes just 11.4 km /litres of fuel knocking 0.78 litres off the values of the C200Kompressor. CO2 emissions are also reduced from 215g/km to 201 g/km. The debutante offers an output of 137kW at 5600rpm (approx. 5% increases over the C 200Kompressor). At the same time it offers increased bottom-end torque of 285 Nm at 2400-4000 rpm (C 200Kompressor = 240 Nm @ 3500 – 4500rpm). 

Dr. Wilfried Aulbur, Managing Director and CEO of Mercedes-Benz India said, “The C-Class is in most cases the first touch point of customers with our brand. Mercedes-Benz stands for exciting products and cutting edge technologies; what better way to reinforce this promise than by offering the C 200 CGI as the harbinger of the CGI revolution in gasoline engines!”

The CGI technology is the first of its kind in the world to use sophisticated petrol direct-injection engine with spray guided combustion process. CGI engines use piezo-injectors (also seen on the global F700 DiesOtto concept presented by Daimler AG).
