Saving for advanced

Three luxury sedans with the savings potential of small cars: in the AUTO BILD comparison the Mercedes E-class are the BMW 5 series and the Audi A6 (from left) with knausrigen diesels against each other on. Who's at the end of the nose front?
By Wolfgang King Yes, really, so it looks, the true miracle of progress. You want to know what our car manufacturers actually useful have made in recent years? Then study the best these three magnificent limousines: safe as Abraham Scho?, they are comfortable as a F?nf star hostel, fast as ICE, but economical like the Stra?enfl?he,. Their consumption is the sensation: here, we see 240 km/h limousines of the Executive class, that fuel 100 kilometres should come with f?nf litres. The official ECE standard that certifies them. In the defined AUTO BILD-test, the Realit?t n?her, they swallow more and 6.6 litres are also very ?berzeugend. Geh?rte something in the realm of the Tr?ume a few years ago. The sensational value performed the Mercedes E 250 CDI, which thanks to seven levels of automatic and fine tuning many details was now even more economical. Thus, he at the same time also provides his arch-rivals clearly in the shadows while they SIP their K?nnen ? only on the diesel juice ? measured. Come on against the Benz: Audi A6 3.0 TDI (7.8 L / 100 km) and BMW 525d (7.2 L / 100 km) ? both diesel with 204 PS, just like the Mercedes ? the Audi but with continuous automatic, the BMW with an eight levels Ausf?hrung. And both j?nger as the E-class. Gen?gt the technical ?berarbeitung to bring this back to front? Not only in consumption? Who h?lt the question given the proud price f?r academic, a look at the registration statistics is recommended. The 5 square taken in Germany's top f?nf. And the E class (9) is ahead of the Audi A4. Bestseller that no minority program. Here we compare the golden mean in the model palettes ? ?ppig motorized, but but sparingly.
Fed up: The 2, 1-liter four cylinder of the E 250 CDI heaves 500 nm at the crankshaft. And the renewed acquaintance with the E awakens the usual Gef?hle 250 CDI immediately: no showroom star, this car, none of which excited ? right away the E-class comes slowly, then intense. The spatial impression: gro?z?gig, airy, also in the rear. The seats with ausgepr?gten Langstreckenqualit?ten. Operation: not simple for the plethora of features, but logical and efficient. The Getriebew?hlhebel is now also in the E 250 CDI on the steering wheel and l?sst with the fingertips use: pleasant. Comfort: no S?nfte, especially if the Fahrbahnst??e are short and violent. However, ?ber wide areas of h?chst bek?mmlich, this vote, willing to swallow, because largely without Sports ambitions. The classic Mercedes character so, and that is our appreciation. Especially since the other driving well make dealing with the E 250 CDI. In curves, it is not the fastest, works heavily in the springs. But he l?sst easily and pr?zise conduct, changes the course clean. And it should be erw?nscht in narrow bends, allowing the ESP system the driver even, a little herauszuh?ngen the rear. Gen?Gend MUMM exists. Torque conjures up enormous 500 nm from the 2.1 litre small four cylinder Mercedes. And he pulls through, unterst?tzt of the new sliding switches now also ruck?rmer according to l?ssig. Disadvantage: The small diesel sounds like a K?rnerm?hle. Acoustically, he reminds not on a high-tech wonders, rather to a manufacturer engine, so not suitable for the dignified nature of the car. What a pity. At least on this point, his opponents have from the outset better cards. Tailoring six-cylinder in the three litre format work in their Maschinenr?umen. In the Audi, way 400 nm jump out on these, which are passed to h?chst cultivated way to the Vorderr?der. Very erquicklich, although not very economical.
And also not ?berm??ig spirited. When the gas allows l?sst to the v6 diesel engine in combination with the continuous automatic often time. The unusual course of speed at this gear variant due to lack of Ger?usch is Daf?r not nervt?tend in the four-wheel. Otherwise, this A6 emphasises the comfort. The operation requires more focus, and back it is not so easily as in the other two. But he verw?hnt the driver with impeccable manners on the highway. Where erw?hnt is, that Audi herausr?ckte the test car only including air suspension and schalld?mmender double glazing. Extra pay customers m?ssen daf?r several thousand euro. Benefits the Ger?uscheindruck in the Interior of the expensive gifts, and they help against unm??ige body movements.
