With greater public concern about how cars affect the environment, as well as rising fuel prices, many car manufacturers have released certain ‘lines’ of cars that cater to these concerns. Volkswagen’s Bluemotion range, Renault’s ‘eco²‘ line and Ford’s ECOnetic are all examples of this. Mercedes’ own version, dubbed the FE line (which stands for Fuel Efficient), has just added the A-Class to the range, joining the existing C-Class FE model.
The base model in the FE A-Class line is the A160 CDI, which uses a substantial 0.4L less fuel per 100km than the regular A160 CDI. This gain in fuel consumption is achieved through certain modifications to the car, making it lighter and more economical.
