Thanks to their excellent turbodiesel 1.500 ml, the A-Class also gets credit for economy, since in addition to low consumption it also offers exemption from road tax.

The new A-Class has powerfully entered the battle of premium small and medium cars. With dynamic appearance, but also substantial advantages, such as quality, security and technology, the A-Class successfully flirts with the top. We came to the above by testing the gasoline-powered A180, however, we also got our hands on the diesel A180 CDI, which is of great interest.

Mercedes-Benz is a marque with a tradition of diesel engines, and we certainly didn't expect anything less from the manual A180 CDI.
It should be noted that, this particular version of the model has an engine 1.461 κ.εκ. 109 horses, while the one combined with an automatic transmission has an engine 1.796 κ.εκ, same performance.

The only external visual difference to the diesel version we tested, it has to do with the A180 CDI logo on the back and where CDI put the initials of the words Common-Rail Direct Injection. From now on, the diesel A-Class is just as stylish and dynamic, as we met her in the gasoline version. The good thing, of course, with the diesel engine is that you have a significantly lower cost of use since the average fuel consumption, as announced by the manufacturing company, it's just 3,8 lt./100 km. (anti 5,5 lt./100 km. for gasoline).

Even better is how, with CO2 emissions 98 gr / km. from the engine, the owner of the vehicle is exempt from the obligation to pay road tax. But on the other hand, its purchase price is more… stingy at 26.500 euro, namely 2.600 euros more than the gasoline-powered A180. Naturally, if you do a lot of km. annually the choice of the A180 CDI is one-way!
