Mercedes Introducing New Entry Level Power Plants Co-Developed With Nissan

Mercedes-Benz is set to introduce a brand new entry-level petrol engine line-up consisting of both 1.2 and 1.4-litre direct-injection units as part of a concerted downsizing initiative aimed at providing smaller models with improved economy and reduced emissions.

The new four-cylinder engines, which go under the internal codename M282, are planned to be launched in the next generation of compact Mercedes-Benz models, starting with more affordable versions of the fourth-generation A-Class, which is planned to go on sale in the UK during the second quarter of 2018.
