C180k vs avantgarde

[Mrchoo]

Hi guys,

Im actually looking at this series. I've done some research online and notice for the 1.8cc series, mostly discuss the difference between Kompressor and CGI.

Am i right to say that Kompressor and Avantgarde is the same thing?

Also seeking fellow bros expertise on this question? Will the 1.8 (7 gears) be better than 1.6 (5 gears) ?  in terms of FC, which is better?

Thanks!

Dear Mrchoo,

Kompressor for MB stands for Compressor or Supercharged Engine with Supercharger

CGI - Charged Gasoline Injection aka Turbocharged Engine with Turbocharger

Avantgarde is the trim option

Previously they have Avantgarde Trim & Elegant Trim

Nowadays Avantgarde, AMG Line, Exclusive

Have you wonder why MB goes from 5 speed auto to 7G-Tronics & now to 9G-tronics

With more gears, the load on the engine is lesser with lower rev

With lower rev & load also means more fuel efficient when all things are equal and also lesser engine noise with lower engine rev.

Lower load also means lesser wear & tear

When all things are equal, imho the most significant factor for FC is the driver style of driving.
