The year is off to a great start for Mercedes-Benz company car drivers as the two new A-Class diesel engines avoid the 4% BIK diesel surcharge for the life of the vehicle. After being tested to RDE-2 standards, the A 200 d and A 220 d alongside the new B-Class featuring these engines, will all avoid the BIK tax benefitting their business owners.
So how do these engines perform? Comparing emissions, the A 200 d emits 110g/km of CO2 and the A 220 d emits 114g/km of CO2. Whilst the A 200 d delivers up to 67.3mpg on the combined cycle, the A 220 d achieves 65.7mpg. As both engines include as standard an 8G-DCT 8-Speed automatic transmission, they produce outputs of 150PS, 320Nm of torque (A 200 d) and 190PS, 400Nm of torque (A 220 d) respectively. The A 200 d accelerates from 0-62mph in 8.1 seconds, with the A 220 d taking just 7 seconds and reaching a top speed of 146mph.
But it’s not just the performance of these vehicles that stands them above the crowd. Both are available in the AMG Line trim, adding a touch of drama to their already-eye-catching shapes. The A 200 d also available in the standard Sport trim. The interior includes the state-of-the-art MBUX touchscreen multimedia system with voice activation and seven-inch cockpit display, all designed to make your journey as comfortable and seamless as possible.
