Mercedes Benz has announced the BlueEFFICIENCY editions of the A180 petrol and A180 CDI models. These new models should have a lot of appeal for those looking to buy a luxury compact car that is cheap to tax and own.
The petrol 180 BE is powered by a 1.6-liter producing 122 PS and is expected to return a combined fuel consumption of 5.2 l/100km (54.3 mpg UK), while emitting only 120 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

The A180 CDI BE model uses a 1.5-liter turbodiesel (Renault-sourced) and offers 109 PS. Its eco credentials are even better: combined consumption of just 3.6 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 92 grams per kilometer.

Both are said to be 5% better at sipping than their non-BlueEFFICIENCY based models, thanks to improvements like partially covered grilles, 15mm lower suspension, longer gearing and revisions to engine management.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
