Ribadisco quanto già espresso in altra sede, in merito l'ultima generazione della Classe S: Mercedes-Benz è da sempre sinonimo di eleganza, ma espressa con garbo e sobrietà. Oggi, invece, inseguendo campi che non le competono, ha deciso di gettare alle ortiche tale, inestimabile patrimonio, per proporre robe che definir pacchiane, è un puro eufemismo. Sinceramente, dovessi optare per una vettura elegante, ma non volgare come le attuali Mercedes, mi rivolgerei senza dubbio altrove. Io voglio distinguermi, anzitutto, per stile e non certo per eccesso di cafonaggine. L'eleganza (e NON l'arroganza) PRIMA di TUTTO!!!

Bellissima e raffinata la Classe E W211 in commercio dal 2002 al 2009:

Mercedes-Benz has announced a series of updates for the recently facelifted E-Class, including the adoption of a nine-speed automatic transmission.

The rear-wheel drive E350 BlueTec is no longer available with the seven-speed 7G-Tronic automatic transmission as this has been replaced by a newly developed 9G-Tronic nine-speed 'box. Despite the change, 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) takes the same 6.6 seconds as before so there aren't any improvements in terms of performance.

However, the two additional ratios and inclusion of stop/start function have improved fuel efficiency in the combined cycle from 51.4 mpg UK (42.8 mpg US or 5.5 liters /100 km) to 53.3 mpg UK (44.3 mpg US or 5.3 liters / 100 km), while CO2 emissions are down from 144 g/km to 138 g/km.

The E350 BlueTec equipped with 9G-Tronic will return 44.1 mpg UK (36.7 mpg US or 6.4 liters / 100 km) in the city, while the 7G-Tronic model achieved 40.9 mpg UK (34 mpg US or 6.9 liters / 100 km). On the highway, figures have remained the same at 60.1 mpg UK (50 mpg US or 4.7 liters / 100 km).

Aside from this change, Mercedes-Benz has removed the standard six-speed manual gearbox from the E220 BlueEfficiency Edition and replaced it with the aforementioned 7G-Tronic automatic transmission. As a result of this change, mpg numbers have increased from 60.1 mpg UK (50 mpg US or 4.7 liters / 100 km ) to 64.2 mpg UK (53.4 mpg US or 4.4 liters / 100 km), while CO2 emissions have been slashed from 132 g/km to 114 g/km. Thanks to these changes, the revised model is Euro 6 compliant.

The E-Class lineup will also include from now on an E200 NGD which is a natural-gas model powered by a 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine taken from the B200 Natural Gas Drive. It outputs 154 bhp (115 kW) and 199 lb-ft (269 Nm) of torque which should be enough for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time in 10.4 seconds. Mercedes-Benz says it has a combined cycle economy of 4.3 kg / 62 miles (100 km) which transformed into mpg represents 44.8 mpg UK (37.3 mpg US or 6.3 liters / 100 km).

Dalla E220 CDI normale alla E220 CDI BlueTec cosa cambia in pratica?

Dalla E220 CDI normale alla E220 CDI BlueTec cosa cambia in pratica?

Qualche menata "ECO" in più: 117g/km di CO2 rispetto ai 123 della E220 CDI normale.

Mi sembra di capire che comunque non tutti i modelli -come fu al debutto con la differenziazione delle trasmissioni a seconda della motorizzazione- saranno equipaggiate con il nuovo 9G-Tronic.. Sono curioso di sapere come va e se è al livello dello ZF8HP

Ecco l'infotainment aggiornato di Classe E
