The 190 kW (258 hp) 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel engine with common-rail direct injection impresses with its muscular power delivery. The maximum torque of 550 newton metres is available over a wide engine speed range of 1400 to 3200 rpm. This means that high torque is already available from low engine speeds. Whether for a sporty driving style, comfortable long-distance touring or off-road driving in difficult conditions - the V6 always guarantees serene and efficient progress. Its special features include lightweight design, the single-stage turbocharger with variable turbine geometry for particularly agile engine response and the innovative NANOSLIDE® cylinder liner coating also used in Formula 1.
The 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission included as standard operates with no interruption in tractive power during gearchanges. This leads to better handling characteristics on uphill gradients, when driving off-road and when towing a trailer. Other advantages of 7G-TRONIC PLUS are fast gearshifts and low rpm. This has a positive effect especially with regard to efficiency and noise levels. Steering wheel shift paddles also allow the driver to engage gears manually.
