Has anyone heard about Infiniti and Mercedes sharing engines, apparently Infiniti's new compact coupe and compact sedan are suppose to get the same engines as our CLA's and Mercedes C-Class, possibly the E-Class as well.

 

[Mike T]

Yup, and all the diesels in the new A and B Classes are from Renault.

 

[AMG4Matic]

And Infiniti and Renault have a business relationship together.

 

[Mike T]

Yeah, like Renault owns Nissan and Infiniti.

 

[Rospek]

So US CLA 250 motor is a Renault motor?

 

[Mike T]

No, it's an M-B engine.

 

[brianch]

we are talking about the diesel engines.

 

[shazada]

Yup, and all the diesels in the new A and B Classes are from Renault.

I think it only applies to the 200 CDI and not the 220CDI which is practically the same as the C-class engine and which is also the same as the C 250 CDI.

 

[MERC]

Infiniti and Mercedes designed the engine together? Or is Infiniti just adopting MBs engine?

 

[Mike T]

I think it only applies to the 200 CDI and not the 220CDI which is practically the same as the C-class engine and which is also the same as the C 250 CDI.

You are correct, only the smaller A/B/CLA diesels have Renault engines.
