The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that an E320 CDI will achieve 27 miles per gallon in the city, and 37 mpg in highway driving. In contrast, the gasoline E-Class is rated at 19-mpg city and 27-mpg highway.
Operating with full electronic fuel injection, the E320 CDI's engine produces 201 horsepower at 4,200 rpm, and a whopping 369 pound-feet of torque through the range of 1800 to 2600 rpm. That's enough to yield 0-60 mph acceleration in an estimated 6.8 seconds, which is slightly quicker than an equivalent gasoline-powered E-Class sedan that uses a 271-horsepower engine with far lower torque output.

MB has a long and storied history with Diesels, so there's no doubt the 320CDI is a strong one. My only reservation is that might have slightly numb steering with all the extra weight of the oil burner over the front tires. Has anyone drive a E320 CDI, am I completely off base with my comment?
