Depending on the model in question up to an additional 26 hp  / 19 kW more power, an increase in torque of up to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft). BRABUS ECO PowerXtra CGI performance kits offer powerful engine tuning for the Mercedes 200, 250 and 350 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY models with direct-injection gasoline engines. Exemplary low emissions that meet EURO V limits and less than an hour installation time.

BRABUS ECO PowerXtra CGI tuning unleashes the true power inherent in these eco-friendly engines – without jeopardizing the built-in safety reserves. The BRABUS engine specialists put just as much emphasis on exemplary low emissions: All engines equipped with BRABUS ECO PowerXtra CGI performance kits meet strict EURO V emission limits.

The processor-controlled plug & play BRABUS ECO PowerXtra CGI auxiliary control unit can be installed by any authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer in less than an hour. The unit is designed to monitor all engine sensors and will only activate the power mapping once the engine reaches its optimal operating temperature and all sensor readings are in the green. This eliminates any chances that the increase in performance might result in a shorter engine life.

Equipped with the BRABUS ECO PowerXtra CGI kit the four-valve four-cylinder direct-injection engines in the C 200 and E 200 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY models produce an additional 26 hp (25 bhp) / 19 kW and an increase in torque by 30 Nm (22 lb-ft).

Rated power output of the Mercedes C 250 and E 250 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY models with BRABUS ECO PowerXtra CGI tuning jumps from standard 204 hp (201 bhp) / 150 kW to 230 hp (227 bhp) / 169 kW at just 5,500 rpm. Simultaneously peak torque grows from 310 Nm to 350 Nm (228 to 258 lb-ft).

The most powerful direct-injection gasoline engine from Mercedes-Benz at present, the 3.5-liter V6 in the C 350, CLS 350 and E 350 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY models, produces an additional 18 hp (18 bhp) / 13.2 kW. Performance of these models improves markedly as well: In combination with the BRABUS Vmax Unit that eliminates the standard speed limit of 250 km/h top speed grows from 250 to 267 km/h (155 to 166 mph).

All BRABUS performance-tuned CGI engines deliver not just excellent performance but also favourable fuel economy thanks to the engines’ improved pulling power. BRABUS custom-tailored stainless-steel sport exhaust systems are the perfect complement to engine tuning for all Mercedes CGI BlueEFFICIENCY models.
