Most Europeans drive modern high performance Diesels that get amazing fuel mileage. Now Mercedes has combined this technology with the hybrid approach favored in the USA, to create something truly stunning.
The S300 Bluetec Hybrid uses a 2.2 Liter, 4 cylinder Diesel engine in a hybrid configuration, to deliver an astounding average of 43.5 mpg. That’s better than anything you can buy stateside today.
S300 has a combined 224 horsepower and 413 lb/ft of torque. Even with that big S Class body, that’s good enough for about 150 mph.
Mercedes says they will start selling the S300 Bluetec Hybrid in Europe in 2010.
