New generate of Mercides !

New Mercides Benz 1.8-litre turbo engine not only makes sense over the old 2.5 V6 but also against today's 3.0 six-pot. After the German launch the latest E-class in E300 form in Thailand late last year, a second changes now join it at Thai assembly lines in the mask of E250 CGI. While the E300 badge easily means the 3.0-litre V6 petrol power, the E250 is a bit vague. The E250 comes with a brand new 204hp 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder unit and is design to replace the old E230 which came with a normally aspirated 2.5-litre V6 producing the same amount of peak power. The E250 is priced at B4.299m - B700k less than the E300 and B150k less than old E230. Despite coming with the same Avantgarde trim, the E250 does not get the navigation system or DVD-compatible audio system as in the E300. Turbochargers are beneficial when it come to usable power in real-world driving conditions, and the E250 is no exception. With 310Nm maximum torque coming at just 2,000rpm, the E250 is effortless to drive in both city and highway driving.

  2. It's interesting that Ben cars are so popular in Thailand. They have a bit of an old fashioned or boring image in Australia. There people prefer sports cars .. Porsche, BMW roadsters, Alfas and so on. Really, in my country, only old men drive Benzes.
