![]() In 1998, a less powerful version of the 2.2 L turbodiesel was added, called C 200 CDI, which replaced the C 220 Diesel. In the last four years of production, the W202 received a few changes in the choices of engine. These changes reduced emissions and improved fuel consumption, without sacrificing power (the C 280 in fact had a slight 4 PS (3 kW 4 hp) increase with the change). ![]() The four-cylinder C 230 was replaced by the C 240 (2.4 L) and the I6 C 280 by the V6 C 280. The new engines featured SOHC heads instead of the previous DOHC, three valves per cylinder instead of four, and twin sparkplugs. Also, the inline six engines were replaced by a family of V6, the M112. The new model was named C 220 CDI, and had an improved output of 30 PS (22 kW 30 hp) compared with the C 220 Diesel, better fuel average and lower emissions. The 1997 diesel models featured the OM611, equipped with a common rail direct injection system (co-developed with Bosch). Due to the tax law in Italy and Portugal, models in those countries featured a supercharged version of the smaller 2.0 L (C 200 Kompressor), which had a similar output of the C 230 Kompressor. The most important was a supercharged version of the M111 straight four, the C 230 Kompressor, using a Roots-type supercharger to generate 193 PS (142 kW 190 hp) at 5300 rpm: Mercedes-Benz reused supercharger technology after 50 years. The turbodiesel was introduced in 1995 and is one of the novelties in the engine range available from this year. There were also more powerful OM605 five-cylinder engines which were available in naturally aspirated (C 250 D) and turbocharged (C 250 TD) forms. Many of these diesel variants were sold as taxis, due to their low fuel consumption and strong reliability. The C 280 was the high-end model of the class, with a four-valve-per-cylinder straight-six engine, capable of reaching 193 PS (142 kW 190 hp).įour-cylinder diesel models were equipped with the same OM601 engine of the 190, in the 2.0 L. In 1997 the C 220 was replaced by the C 230, enlarged to 2.3 L displacement but with the same output, although with torque increased to 220 N⋅m (162 lb⋅ft). ![]() ![]() The C-Class debuted with a complete lineup of multi-valve engines. Rough prototypes went into testing in 1989, with first production design prototypes commencing testing in 1990.Įngines Mercedes-Benz C 220 Elegance (Australia, pre-facelift) The design by Olivier Boulay was chosen in 1989 and the production design was frozen in January 1990, subsequently patented on 19 December 1990. By 1988, the first full-scale models were made, narrowed to two design directions by December 1988. Background ĭevelopment started on a replacement to the 190 series in October 1986, with design work commencing in 1987 under Bruno Sacco. Replacing the 190 series/W201 in June 1993, the C-Class sedan was Mercedes' entry-level model until 1997, when the company launched the A-Class. Mercedes-Benz W202 is the internal designation for a compact sedan/saloon manufactured and marketed by Mercedes-Benz 1993–2000, as the first generation of the C-Class, now in its fifth generation. ![]()
