What is the difference between e320 and e350

Furthermore, new passenger diesels from any manufacturer must run on ultra-low-sulfur diesel ULSD , which has at most 15 parts per million of sulfur content and is identified by a sticker at the pump. California has already made the switch. In the rest of the country, finding the right kind of diesel can be a guessing game. Apart from the engine, the only differences on the diesel car are smaller front brakes, inch wheels, and a softer suspension; inch wheels are standard on the E, and Sport models ride on 18s.

The E BlueTec is perfectly at home on the highway. It wafts over bumps, and gentle pressure on the pedal easily adds 10 mph to the cruising speed. The E, in contrast, is livelier and feels lighter than the pound difference between the two cars suggests. But even though throttle response on the E is sharp, it takes more pedal pressure for passing acceleration. The E lacks the soundtrack of the gas V-6 but makes up for it with torque you can feel every time you hit the throttle.

In short, the diesel feels faster. The bad news is that the E BlueTec is slower than the E in every respect. Our E's 0-to time of 6. The diesel might feel faster, but the numbers don't lie.

When it comes to fuel-economy numbers, however, the diesel delivers. Our lead feet averaged 34 mpg on our trip, which included some city driving, and we were able to make the entire mile journey on one tank. The E averaged 26 mpg, which is hardly shameful but nothing to brag about. Yet its cruising range will outlast even the most steadfast bladder--plus, it's the more satisfying car to drive. The BlueTec isn't lacking; it's just that the E is terrific. The E BlueTec doesn't deliver as many smiles and doesn't save much money over the premium-sipping E JavaScript is disabled.

There's no question, the ECDI is better in every way for fuel consumption. So you are getting an average of 30mpg from a 3. That i would like to see! How are you working this out? JasM MB Enthusiast.

Click to expand Why have such a large engined car for such a small annual mileage?? The official fuel consumption figures for the E Urban mpg — So I think the diesel would be quicker. They have the same time. Some might say that's a good situation to be in. With high petrol prices a large engine car might otherwise be too expensive to run, but with only doing 6k miles a year it's not so much of an issue.

Yes Will, I understand that some people like this situation! DieselE MB Enthusiast. Nothing aganist diesel. Type keyword s to search. Today's Top Stories. View Photos.
