New A-Liter BlueEFFICIENCY: The Most Frugal Mercedes Ever Made

New A-Liter BlueEFFICIENCY: The Most Frugal Mercedes Ever Made
Mercedes Benz has announced the BlueEFFICIENCY editions of the A180 petrol and A180 CDI models. These new models should have a lot of appeal for those looking to buy a luxury compact car that is cheap to tax and own.

The petrol 180 BE is powered by a 1.6-liter producing 122 PS and is expected to return a combined fuel consumption of 5.2 l/100km (54.3 mpg UK), while emitting only 120 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

The A180 CDI BE model uses a 1.5-liter turbodiesel (Renault-sourced) and offers 109 PS. Its eco credentials are even better: combined consumption of just 3.6 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 92 grams per kilometer.

Both are said to be 5% better at sipping than their non-BlueEFFICIENCY based models, thanks to improvements like partially covered grilles, 15mm lower suspension, longer gearing and revisions to engine management.
