About the E-Class (W211) 320 CDI 204

The 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) 320 CDI 204 is a rear-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,735 kg with 201 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 116 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.58 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,534th quickest to 60 mph, and the 577th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 91.7 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) 320 CDI 204 reaches 60 mph in 6.94 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,534th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) 320 CDI 204 quarter mile time?
15.44 s at 91.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.02 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.58 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) 320 CDI 204 have?
201 bhp and 1,735 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 240 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) 320 CDI 204?
Closest here on pace: VW Golf VII Alltrack 2.0 TDI 184 (6.97 s), Audi A4 2.0 TDI ultra 190 Auto (6.95 s), BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo 320d 190 Auto (6.94 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) 320 CDI 204 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) 320 CDI 204 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.
