Mercedes-Benz M276 + e-motor specs: 3.0L (183 ci) 6-cylinder, 88 x 82.1 mm (3.4646 x 3.2323 in) bore and stroke, 10.7:1 compression. Built 2015–2020.
The Mercedes-Benz M276 + e-motor is oversquare — the 3.4646" bore exceeds the 3.2323" stroke by 7.2% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.2323" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,450 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 30.5 ci (500 cc).
10.7:1 is in the range that usually runs on pump premium.
It is one of 17 engines in the Mercedes-Benz 183ci family, all of them 183 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 5 factory variants share these dimensions across 2015–2020.

| Fuel type | gas |
|---|---|
| Years | 2015–2020 |
| Bore/stroke character | 1.072 — oversquare — bore exceeds stroke, which favours higher RPM and larger valves |
|---|---|
| Mean piston speed at 6,000 RPM | 3,232 ft/min — conservative for a street engine |
| Displacement per cylinder | 30.5 ci |
| Static compression | 10.7:1 — in the range that usually runs on pump premium |
