The 220 BlueTec version of the upcoming Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 doesn't have a direct equivalent in the current C-Class lineup, but the C 220 CDI W204 uses the exact same engine so they also deserve a comparison in terms of specifications.

Our third and final fanboy specification battle between the new C-Class and the outgoing model will feature the only diesel engine available at the 2015 C-Class W205 launch, but rest-assured knowing that there are plenty more oil-burners in the pipeline.

When fitted with the 7G-Tronic Plus, the C 220 BlueTec W205 reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.8 seconds, while the C 220 CDI W204 does it in 8.1 seconds.
