The Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 300 BlueTec 231 reaches 60 mph in 6.41 s (100 km/h in 6.76 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.80 s, tripping the lights at 95.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.33 s and the eighth mile in 9.59 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and

About the E-Class (W212) 300 BlueTec 231
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 300 BlueTec 231 is a rear-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,885 kg with 228 bhp, which works out at 121 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 121 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.33 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,776th quickest to 60 mph, and the 476th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 95.6 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.

Questions
What is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 300 BlueTec 231 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 300 BlueTec 231 reaches 60 mph in 6.41 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,776th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 300 BlueTec 231 quarter mile time?
14.80 s at 95.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.59 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.33 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 300 BlueTec 231 have?
228 bhp and 1,885 kg, which is 121 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 249 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 300 BlueTec 231?
Closest here on pace: BMW 3 Series (E90) 320d 177 Auto (6.39 s), Audi A4 3.0 V6 TDI CVT 204 (6.35 s), BMW 3 Series Sedan (G20) LCI 320d xDrive 190 (6.44 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 300 BlueTec 231 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) 300 BlueTec 231 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.
