Mercedes-Benz S 250 CDI, the cross S in history
No other car produced by Mercedes-Benz currently does not require so much knowledge about the range of the part than the S 250 CDI. If you have not led yet another motor mounted on the class S, then this car will disappoint you, most likely from the moment they sign on roof reading. After 2.7 million cars sold and a history of the model started in 1954 Ponton, the largest Mercedes-Benz sedan has received this year a four-cylinder diesel engine. There's never before was not powered by engines with fewer than six cylinders.
Fifth generation S-Class W221 internal baptized was launched in 2006 and his best year was 2008, when they were sold a record number of over 90,000 units. 2009 came to celebrate the economic crisis and a fall of almost 50% of 2009 sales figures. In 2010 the numbers began to increase but fragile because the world already waiting for the model that seems to be, once again, revolutionary for the luxury class. Ignorant could hurry and not notice that even this step of mounting a four-cylinder engine under the hood of S is one of the border. No other class builder of luxury cars does not offer engines with less than six cylinders.
S-Class has always been a revolutionary machine that, through its Mercedes-Benz has launched features that have proved crucial to the future, secure and dynamic future generations of machines. I talked about the past so many times now S is very close future, and he again promises to be revolutionary. We have nine-speed automatic gearbox first in the world. The first of the glass panoramic sunroof will become clear at the touch of a button. And you might have first navigation system, audio and entertainment that will not obey gestures driver presses a button or its touchscreen. And certainly this new box of nine steps will be bundled in four-cylinder powertrain beneath the sign 250 CDI diesel.
Yes, the figures are for the Commercials. S 250 CDI is currently the slowest S-Class from 0 to 100 km / h. He does this by half in 8.2 seconds, 1.3 seconds slower than the S model sold in Romania, the V6 diesel of 258 hp. How much is a euro to 74.896 S 250 CDI in the base price, it is cheaper by about 8,000 euro than the CDI, which makes faster by 1.3 seconds but cost you more in taxes and fuel . Faster 1.1 seconds is 350 BlueTEC, petrol with 306 bhp, but more expensive by about 5,000 euros.
Do not speed, and number of cylinders Any extra under the hood are magical ingredients of this S-Class And you will realize just after you drive as many engines available on the bestiality S. aside behind the AMG's, absolute refinement of 600, superb versions 500, 350 gasoline models accuracy or diesel, or eco madness behind 400 Hybrid, S has to be viewed in terms of common denominator that makes all these options perfect limousine. There should be a quiet, impressively comfortable, relaxing and safe driving. 250 CDI is a blasphemy to the Germans? A marketing mistake? No. It's just another S-Class.
When you say 250 CDI scare people. Some finger-pointing, some even comment without having ever even drove a few meters S. All believe that they will perish in the first overcome if the car behind does not write at least 350. And to think that the S 250 CDI engine actually does not even have 2.2 liter 2143 cc but more precisely, to see if the dynamics of paranoia.
Pull a breath, rinse your eyes and take heed. S 250 CDI engine has maximum torque of 500 Nm. That is as much as 320 CDI engine had some years ago. The couple is fully available from 1,600 rpm and that it's a four-cylinder engine this means that the S 250 CDI CDI S is the lightest in history. It has a curb weight of 1895 kilograms, compared to the 1920's 350 CDI. For those who tremble at the thought of 204 hp 250 CDI's just say that. Torque of 500 Nm is enough to move safely and majesty of a classic this version of the basic S. Torque 120 Nm higher at 350 CDI is almost completely void of the lower curb weight of 175 kg to 250 CDI V6 diesel's.
For those who do not care departures from standstill, acceleration 0-100 km / h of 8.2 seconds will not be a problem. However I find it embarrassing to go to the creak of wheels at a traffic light with a S-Class is like making a Ferrari off-road. It is not. Four-cylinder engine is very quiet until 2,000 rpm. At idle the engine is not heard in the cockpit, just outside of where a trained ear will recognize the presence of small differences in sound engine than a V6. Inside the engine noise makes its presence felt only after 2000 rpm and more than 3,000 model will have critics and her reason for joy - the sound is clearly a small displacement engine.
However the moments when you exceed 3,000 rpm are very rare if your driving style is typical of a luxury sedan. PLUS 7G-Tronic box is set to change gears very quickly how E (a new Mercedes-Benz comfort boxes) so you'll know not how to get to 60 km / h in sixth stage. If you watch the tachometer needle will see that steps are automatically exchanged between 1200-1500 rpm.
Dynamic differences between the 250 CDI there so if it runs and 350 CDI under cruise-saloon. You will notice less obvious presence in the engine high speed regimes, Unreal Any extra not so fast. There is a reverse of the medal, this time a pleasant one. Because the car is easier on the front due to more compact engine, handling this version of S is among the best in history. The car feels very light, obviously helped a lot of direction impeccable, yet the turns and lane changes will immediately feel the difference in weight between 250 and 350. The first is more fun to drive, easier to drive and feels more compact and closer to the driver.
Most used in extra Romania, 30-60 km / h 80-120 km / h, S 250 CDI is a very correct car and often during acceleration will forget that you are the first ever motor S four-cylinder under the hood. Just the sound of high speed engine of regime you will remember, so benefits are correct.
Consumption is a very high quality of this release. The city can manage an average of 10 liters per 100 kilometers compared to 12-13 of the 350 version. Official papers announcing an urban consumption of 7.1 but frankly I think we need a very calm mind and body trained really hard to get less. After I drove the car still think in an average city / highway 8 liters / 100 kilometers which you can still get this S 250 CDI.
After driving the first and 500 of this life I thought nothing could be better for this body. S 350 CDI always shown me otherwise, and S 400 Mercedes-Benz Hybrid that can build cars to start an era but at times be annoying. S 420 CDI died because it is trend or animal but the couple do not you never forget. S 600 is a work of art and the S 63 AMG is the car you want to anyone. S 65 AMG is too much and can confirm that those who fail to leave the place efficiently when the throttle too much tread. Plus it is fun to play behind you at 130 km / h at a kick-down ...
All these sites are magical because they are very comfortable around you in a special atmosphere, we matched so far by other limousines to competition. S 250 CDI is the most efficient and the world. It is the fastest, but it is proof that you do not need more. It is very comfortable, quiet and refined as a S 600 inside and if you drive it properly. Basically the S 250 CDI can help you buy another S brand new, fully equipped, fully equipped if you want and pay him under 100,000 euros. It does not alter the essential qualities of an S just proves that you do not need more than 204 hp and 500 Nm to the enjoyment of the most successful luxury sedan in history.
