An all-new diesel engine for Mercedes-Benz will make its debut in the carmaker’s E-Class model - recently unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show.
Wearing the name ‘OM 654’, Mercedes says the new four-cylinder engine is “the diesel future”; promising more power and improved economy in a new compact, lightweight (17 percent lighter) design.
The engine is the first all-aluminium diesel for Mercedes-Benz, and will make its showroom debut overseas in the next few months.
The first model to use the new powerplant will be the E 220d, but Benz says the OM 654 is just the first in a family of diesel engines which will be rolled out into other models in the future (including vans).
