Mercedes Press Release:
BLUETEC HYBRID for the cleanest, most efficient premium-class cars
The C 300 BLUETEC HYBRID, a near-production study based on the new C-Class Estate, is a shining example in Tokyo of the outstanding potential of this unique technology. The four-cylinder unit and the hybrid module combined develop
165 kW/224 hp and maximum torque of 560 Nm, on a par with the figures of a large-volume V8 petrol unit. Yet the C 300 BLUETEC HYBRID consumes only 4.6 l/100 km. Mercedes-Benz is also presenting the same drive in an S-Class luxury saloon in Tokyo. The S 300 BLUETEC HYBRID combines effortlessly superior performance with unrivalled low consumption in this segment of just 5.4 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres, the equivalent of just 142 grams of CO2 per kilometre and thus 57 grams or around 30 percent less than the current world’s best saloon in the S-Class segment. The S 300 BLUETEC HYBRID has the potential to comply with the world's most stringent emissions standards
– for instance the European EU6 or the BIN5 emissions standard for 50 U.S. states.
The six-cylinder version in the S 400 BLUETEC HYBRID is even more powerful yet boasts the same exemplary economy and clean credentials: a combination of 195 kW/265 hp and a maximum torque of 630 Nm with fuel consumption of just 5.8 litres of diesel per 100 kilometre. “This S-Class is perfect testimony to the aspirations and expertise of Mercedes-Benz in building the most exciting cars for our customers in future,” says Dr Zetsche.
