About the E-Class (W211) 280 CDI V6 4MATIC 190

The 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) 280 CDI V6 4MATIC 190 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,725 kg with 188 bhp, which works out at 109 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.55 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,404th quickest to 60 mph, and the 564th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 91.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) 280 CDI V6 4MATIC 190 reaches 60 mph in 6.84 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,404th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) 280 CDI V6 4MATIC 190 quarter mile time?
15.36 s at 91.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.96 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.55 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) 280 CDI V6 4MATIC 190 have?
188 bhp and 1,725 kg, which is 109 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 238 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) 280 CDI V6 4MATIC 190?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler 300C 3.0 V6 CRD 215 (6.83 s), BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i Efficient Dynamics Edition 170 Auto (6.86 s), BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo 320d xDrive 190 Auto (6.89 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) 280 CDI V6 4MATIC 190 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) 280 CDI V6 4MATIC 190 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
