UK luxury car buyers have a new, more fuel-efficient option in the sedan category. Mercedes-Benz has updated the C-Class to include the BlueEFFICIENCY technology and the C 180 KOMPRESSOR BlueEFFICIENCY joins its thirstier siblings in UK dealerships this coming January. Mercedes says the new model can save company car users up to £370.80 with its 11 percent increase in fuel economy and 18 g/km drop in CO₂ emissions (down to 149). It also gets 37.3 mpg (US) on the European combined cycle. These greener changes are the result of a lighter car, better aero design and improved “energy management.” The best part is that the BlueEFFICIENCY model replaces the previous C 180 without a price increase, and I’m sure there are some who will appreciate that this BlueEFFICICNEY model still provides 156 hp and 230 Nm of torque. More details in the press release after the jump.
