A class/CLA 180 Not what it seems

From browsing the renault range, they don't appear to offer that engine in any of their cars - at least they don't offer anything with a 1595cc, 120bhp (it is not 122bhp - you're all being generous) engine.

Sorry, it's 122 PS of course. And indeed, the petrol engines have no Renault equivalent.

Nope -it's a Renault engine in the CLA180
mrs had one for a weekend trial -albeit in 220 guise. It was utter utter ste. Spent the weekend parked up after the first drive

I think you're mixing up petrol and diesel?

CLA180 is a 1.6 turbo petrol. It's Renault 'derived', whatever that means. I believe it's the same engine (but in different tune) as used in Clio 200.

The 200 and 220 are Mercedes diesel engine - same 2.1L engine.

The A & B Class Mercs use a Renault 1.5L diesel engine in some models.
