@MrTench83 жыл бұрын
It has been standard fit on many Honda's for 20 years, the EQ boost system is almost identical to Honda's IMA system (integrated motor assist) which has been available since the year 2000! My CRZ is a 2010 and has Honda's 6th generation IMA system. Mercedes are late to the party but i am sure will have an equally polished product. Might have to swap our W204 for one!
@LandLAutomotive3 жыл бұрын
I'd not looked into IMA in much detail before but every day is a school day! The two systems are very similar - it looks like the main difference is the voltage with some IMA systems running at well over 100v. The CRZ still looks futuristic whenever I see one.

Only M256 with 320 kW get the additional 48V electric supercharger shown at 1:05. The M256 with 270 kW does NOT have this additional 48V electric supercharger. So, it is not all 6-cylinder engines, but just a subset of them.
@maxagent86 Жыл бұрын
Thank you for this important clarification. Do the 270 kW engines have an electric motor powering the turbo air compressor at low rpm's to minimize lag?
@koeniglicher Жыл бұрын
@@maxagent86 No, M 256 E30 DEH LA G R (270 kW) does *not* have the electric turbo air compressor. It only has a conventional turbocharger, entirely driven by exhaust gases. To reduce turbo lag however, the crankshaft of the engine is supported by a an integrated starter generator (ISG). This is a flat electric motor ("EQ Boost" marketing term) with 16 kW of peak power, 250 Nm of peak torque that sits on the crankshaft, acts as a starter, acts as a small generator during deceleration and can add some torque at the low end during acceleration. It is supplied with energy from a 48V battery and stores its generated energy in there as well.

@LandLAutomotive3 жыл бұрын
Great question! Only under certain conditions - the system is there to run with the engine rather than instead of the engine. However, when slowing to a stop the engine can switch off and the electric motor will move the car for the final few metres before stopping. This is to extend the start/stop time in traffic and help to save fuel even in heavy traffic.

EQ Boost is starting to make its way to the diesel engines. At the moment it is available with the 2.0 litre 4-cylinder only but I hope it arrives on the 6-cylinder engines soon. The in-line 6 diesel is one of my favourite engines at the moment.

GLE 400d diesel vs 450 petrol which one is better in terms of ride quality, driving experience? Does the EQ boost technology impact on 450 performance? I heard the 450 engine lags and the battery makes whining noise, is this true?
@LandLAutomotive3 жыл бұрын
On paper the two are very close with the same 0-60 time and nearly identical power and combined torque outputs. In terms of ride quality they both have the magic carpet effect on the road surface - all 6-cylinder GLEs in the UK get AIRMATIC air suspension as standard. The instant electric assistance to the drivetrain makes the 450 engine lightning quick to respond. In my experience the addition of EQ Boost improves the driving experience as the engine itself doesn't need to be worked as hard to get going. On the road you will naturally find yourself driving a little bit more economically to maximise what the EQ Boost system can do - like using gliding mode as and where you can. The battery itself is silent, I've never heard any whining from the engine or transmission whilst driving EQ Boost models.

For EQ Boost mild hybrids there is no display for how full or depleted the battery is - the 48v battery is around 0.5 kWh in capacity but it will display whether the system is harvesting or using power underneath the rev counter on the instrument cluster.

@LandLAutomotive3 жыл бұрын
For the new model, combined fuel consumption is between 32.5 and 34.5 mpg WLTP. OF course this can vary depending on your route and how you drive but on long motorway cruises the in-line 6 is fantastically smooth, quiet and can easily achieve the up to 38.2 mpg figure quoted for high speed sections.

Does the 2023 C-43 AMG have EQ boost?
@LandLAutomotive6 ай бұрын
It does - in a slightly different way! As well as having the mild hybrid electric motor, it has an electric exhaust gas turbocharger too. This sees an electric motor mounted on the shaft of the turbine itself to allow it to spin up quicker than you can say EQ boost. This does away with the need for the electric compressor as seen on the six-cylinder engines.

Great question - it's all in the interest of increasing efficiency whilst reducing emissions. As a bit of a dinosaur I do like a good engine so the addition of something that boosts performance and fuel economy is a winner for me personally. Similar mild hybrid systems are starting to appear across the market with Audi being one of the first to introduce 48v systems with the SQ7 TDi. Our friends from BMW and JLR are also introducing mild hybrids across their combustion engine range.
