Engine & Performance
The heart of the Vito 114 CDI is the OM651 DE22LA 2.1-liter inline-four cylinder diesel engine. This engine delivers 136 horsepower at 3800 rpm and 330 Nm (243.4 lb.-ft.) of torque between 1400 and 2400 rpm. The engine utilizes a turbocharger with an intercooler to enhance power and efficiency. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. While not designed for outright speed, the engine provides sufficient power for everyday driving and hauling loads. The weight-to-power ratio of 14.3 kg/Hp and weight-to-torque ratio of 5.9 kg/Nm contribute to a responsive driving experience. Fuel economy is a strong point, with combined fuel consumption rated at 6.6 l/100 km (35.6 US mpg or 42.8 UK mpg). The engine meets Euro 6c emission standards and incorporates a particulate filter to reduce harmful emissions.
