About the E-Class (W212) 250 CDi BlueEFICIENCY 204

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 250 CDi BlueEFICIENCY 204 is a rear-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,635 kg with 201 bhp, which works out at 123 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 123 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.43 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,628th quickest to 60 mph, and the 590th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 93.6 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.

Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 250 CDi BlueEFICIENCY 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 (W212) 250 CDi BlueEFICIENCY 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.

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.
