Blue is the new green

Motorists are invited to literally clean up their automotive act with a host of new efficiency-focused Mercedes-Benz models.

Mercedes-Benz North Yorkshire has recently welcomed BlueEFFICIENCY versions of the A 160 CDI and C 180 KOMPRESSOR and is now preparing to introduce the fuel economy-enhancing and emissions-lowering benefits to the B-Class range.
All the models utilise cutting-edge technology to be as efficient as possible and to ultimately lower owners’ running costs.

For example, the A 160 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY’s emissions of just 119g/km mean the hatchback is eligible for a 12-month annual road fund licence at a cost of only £35. The car also returns a nine per cent improvement on the combined fuel economy cycle.

The C 180 KOMPRESSOR is the most recent BlueEFFICIENCY arrival – offering improvements of up to 11 per cent in fuel economy and CO2 reductions of up to 18g/km compared to its non-BlueEFFICIENCY predecessor.
Now B-Class customers can look forward to BlueEFFICIENCY B 150 and B 170 models, which are due for launch later this spring.

“BlueEFFICIENCY models represent the massive investment that Mercedes-Benz is making on providing our customers with cars that are both environmentally-compatible and more affordable than ever to run,” said Sales Director Nick Coyle.

“The manual SE version of the BlueEFFICIENCY c 180 KOMPRESSOR has an even lower on-the-road price than the outgoing model because its improved emissions of 149g/km reduce its road fund licence costs, while its company car tax band is also dropped from 21 per cent to 17 per cent.”
