It features a counter-rotating balance shaft between the cylinder banks to cancel vibrations inherent to the 72 degree V6 design. The crankpins are offset by 48 degrees to achieve even 120 degree firing intervals. Power output is 221 hp and 376 lb.ft of torque. For the 2007 model year, torque was increased to (398 lb.ft). Engine weight is 459 lb. The injection system operates at 23,000 psi, while the compression ratio is 18.0:1.

In some OM642 heavy vehicle applications, Mercedes' BlueTec AdBlue urea injection is utilized for NOx reduction. In lighter vehicle applications, a NOx storage catalyst captures nitrous oxides which are periodically purged by running the engine slightly rich. A particulate filter lowers soot, making the engine ULEV certified.
