The engine

M260

2.0L Turbo I4

Mercedes' M260 turbo-four spools quickly and runs refined, tuned for smooth, upscale daily drivability rather than outright drama in the brand's entry models.

Built at Mercedes' Kölleda engine plant, it shares its core architecture with the fearsome AMG-tuned versions that hold the title of the world's most powerful production four-cylinder.
