#347 of 570 Re: New R320 in deisel [cctdi] by rbarkley Apr 12, 2006 (4:42 pm)
Replying to: cctdi (Apr 12, 2006 3:32 pm) Sorry to hear your having problems. My E320 CDI has over 45,000 in it and it's been a great car, just a little small. With the kind of miles I put on each year, I have to have a diesel. The R class has 127 inch wheel base and alot of space. The 4 wheel drive in Minnesota is also appealing. I was just wondering what kind if mileage the R class will get. Replies to this message: gagrice (Apr 13, 2006 4:52 pm) merc1 (Apr 13, 2006 8:24 pm) gagrice (Apr 14, 2006 12:39 pm)

Replying to: rbarkley (Apr 12, 2006 4:42 pm) Real World test:   ML 320 CDI vs. Rx 400h The German car magazine Auto Bild has conducted a comparative test drive from New York to San Francisco with a new Mercedes-Benz ML 320 CDI diesel and a Lexus RX 400h hybrid.   Combined results for the test drive, which although it combined city and highway driving obviously emphasized the highway, had the Mercedes diesel besting the Lexus hybrid by 10% in terms of fuel consumption.   Average total consumption for the Mercedes over the 5,200-kilometer trip (3,232 miles) was 9.2 l/100km (25.6 mpg), while the Lexus came in at 10.2 l/100km (23 mpg).   ML, R, GL diesel starting in October 2006 MBUSA plans to introduce the 45 states ML320 CDI 4MATIC, R320 4MATIC, GL320 CDI 4MATIC starting in October 2006 using the 3.0 liter OM642 DE 30 LA V6 direct injection turbodiesel with 221 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. The 50 states versions with SCR and Adblue are expected in 2 to 3 years and then include California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Vermont. There should also be the E320 BLUETEC and maybe the G320 CDI, also with the OM642. new M-Class info page Replies to this message: merc1 (Apr 13, 2006 8:24 pm) gagrice (Apr 14, 2006 12:39 pm)

Replying to: gagrice (Apr 13, 2006 4:52 pm) What press release is this from?   I'm kinda letdown by the fact that these diesels won't be 50-state legal yet. I had read somewhere else where the remaining 5 states won't get a diesel until the 2008 model year.   M Replies to this message: gagrice (Apr 14, 2006 12:39 pm)

Replying to: tomotomo (Feb 03, 2005 2:26 pm) I agree with Dudley R. For best MPG you need to stay under 70 MPG.   It will take close to 20,000 miles before you start getting optimum MPG. Then you should match or beat the sticker. In town incourage your vehicle to go into overdirve as much as you can then you can match or beat the city figure just a little. Because of the extra torgue of a diesel enables you to do this. Replies to this message: tomotomo (Apr 14, 2006 1:43 pm)

Replying to: jimlockey (Apr 14, 2006 7:58 am) Jim, I made a quick trip from Houston to Dallas to Edgewood, Texas and back to Houston yesterday (4/13/2006). Most of the time I was on cruise control at about 70 -72 mph. I used 16.609 gal and traveled 563 miles. 563/16.609=33.897 mpg. The onboard computer indicated 33.1 mpg. Since taking delivery of the CDI on July 9, 2004 I have used a total of 512.38 gallons and have driven 14245 miles, mostly here in Houston, Texas for an overall 27.802 mpg. I am still happy with the auto.

On the more economical side, the E debuts Mercedes new Bluetec diesel powertrain in the U.S. market. This ultra-clean diesel engine goes on sale this September in all 50 states.   Article.   M Replies to this message: cctdi (Apr 17, 2006 7:27 pm)

Replying to: merc1 (Apr 16, 2006 9:15 pm) If the 2987 cc V6 cuts more than 200 pounds off the inline six weight and with more HP and torque and higher in EPA, oh, the 4matic for the wagon….. That will be interesting indeed!
