Mercedes-Benz eco C-Class tells you when to shift gear


A new greener version of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class will tell drivers when to change gear to save fuel. Using a computer and display that informs drivers of the most efficient time to shift gear, the C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Prime Edition hopes to maximise mileage from its efficient diesel engine.

The C 250 will cost 40,638 Euros (£32,330) and goes head-to-head with compact executive cars such as the BMW 3 Series 318d.

Mercedes-Benz says its car will manage 138g/km CO2: not bad, but not as good as the class-leading Beamer. Performance looks respectable, with a promised 0-60mph of 7 seconds.
The car will be available this autumn in a limited 5,000 run.
