Insider: Mercedes to Introduce New 1.6-liter Turbocharged Engine This Fall

While here in the States we’re still hanging on to the use of 3.0-liter+ V6 naturally aspirated engines for our mainstream models, in Europe, car manufacturers are in the process of downsizing engine capacities and developing a new generation of turbos and compressors to compensate for the loss of engine displacement.
Now rezza foournito has learned from an inside source that Mercedes-Benz will introduce an all-new 1.6-liter turbocharged engine this fall (most probably in September) that will replace the basic 143Hp 1.8-liter Compressor unit.
Our source stated that the new unit will generate approximately 156 Hp and it will be used initially at least, on the new C-Class (Sedan and Estate) and CLC models. The new turbocharged engine promises to combine high power output and maximized torque with low fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. (pic: 1.8L Kompressor)
