 How engine downsizing saved the inline six-cylinder, and why companies like Mercedes are switching from V6 to Inline 6 cylinder engines. Inline six cylinders have many advantages over a V6 engine.

The Mercedes M256 engine is the result of a feel-good engine-downsizing story. You read that correctly, engine downsizing has in fact brought back a very popular engine style to the Mercedes line-up. Since inline four-cylinders are becoming more and more popular, creating an engine variant with two additional cylinders lopped on is a great idea from a production standpoint. But not only does it save on cost, inline-six cylinders have many advantages versus V6 engines. Check out the video for a full breakdown of the differences. 

Six-cylinder engines are all over the place. But depending on the car, which kind of 6 is under the hood can be very different. There are Inline 6s, Slant 6s, and V6s. So how are they different, and how are they the same? Join Bart as he finds out!
