Mercedes-Benz C260L is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine + electric motor. Engine number: The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, industry practices, and the attributes of the engine, used to represent information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and production batch of the engine. C4L engine: The C4L is equipped with two turbocharged engines: a 1.2T three-cylinder and a 1.6T four-cylinder. The 1.2T engine has a maximum power of 100 kW and a peak torque of 230 Nm, while the 1.6T engine has a maximum power of 123 kW and a peak torque of 245 Nm. The transmission system paired with these engines is a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.

I recently researched the powertrain of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The current C260L uses the M254 engine. This 1.5L displacement engine delivers an impressive 204 horsepower, significantly more powerful than the previous model. Crucially, it features a 48V mild hybrid system, making the startup almost vibration-free. I recall that the pre-2019 C260L had the M264 engine, also a 1.5T but with only 184 horsepower. When buying a car, pay attention to the production date, as both versions are circulating in the used car market. This small-displacement turbocharged + mild hybrid combo is indeed fuel-efficient, but I've heard the 48V motor repair costs aren't low. I recommend checking the 7th digit of the VIN - 'U' indicates the M264 engine, while 'W' signifies the latest M254.

Why Can't the Steering Be Corrected?

There are many reasons for understeering, which can be roughly divided into: insufficient power steering fluid; damaged bearings in the steering gear or steering column; lack of lubrication or damage to the tie rod ball joint; insufficient front tire pressure; or the meshing clearance between the steering pinion and rack being too small. Below is more information about steering: 1. Power Steering: Depending on the source of the power assistance, power steering is further divided into hydraulic power steering and electric power steering. Electric power steering responds faster and is more advanced than hydraulic power steering. Nowadays, better cars are equipped with electric power steering. 2. Four-Wheel Steering: This involves all four wheels turning simultaneously but at different angles. At low speeds, the front and rear wheels turn in opposite directions to reduce the turning radius and improve turning responsiveness. At high speeds, the front and rear wheels turn in the same direction to enhance vehicle stability and smoothness during cornering.

Differences Between Driver and Passenger Insurance and Seat Insurance

Driver and passenger insurance and seat insurance differ in the following ways: 1. Nature of Coverage: Seat insurance is a liability insurance, which only provides compensation if the driver of the insured vehicle is at fault in an accident, resulting in personal injury to the passengers. If the other party is at fault, seat insurance does not provide compensation. Driver and passenger insurance, on the other hand, is an accident insurance that compensates all passengers in the vehicle regardless of who is at fault, without affecting the vehicle insurance compensation, serving as a supplementary insurance. 2. Method of Insurance: Seat insurance is "per seat," allowing the vehicle owner to freely choose which seats and how many seats to insure, but the number of insured seats cannot exceed the number of seats in the vehicle. Driver and passenger insurance can be divided into two methods: "per person" and "per vehicle." Per person insurance means the coverage follows the insured individual, regardless of whether they are driving or which vehicle they are in, while per vehicle insurance covers anyone driving or riding in the insured vehicle. 3. Compensation Ratio: Seat insurance compensates based on the proportion of liability, with 100% compensation for full liability, 70% for primary liability, 50% for secondary liability, 30% for equal liability, and no compensation if there is no liability. Driver and passenger insurance, however, compensates according to the agreed insurance amount in the policy, regardless of who is at fault in the accident.

What is the reason for the engine auto start-stop not being provided?

First, ensure that the auto start-stop function is not turned off. Then, the seat belt must be fastened, the air conditioning temperature should not be set to the lowest, and the coolant temperature should not be too low. Below is an introduction to the auto start-stop system: 1. Auto Start-Stop: The engine auto start-stop automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light). When it's time to move again, the system automatically restarts the engine. 2. Auto Hold: Auto Hold refers to an automatic braking function. Once activated, for example, when stopping at a red light, it eliminates the need to use the handbrake or electronic parking brake, simplifying operations. For automatic transmission models, it also avoids frequent shifting between D to N or D to P.
