Mercedes-Benz Launches New E-Class Hybrids

With the two new E-class hybrid models Mercedes has introduced a modular hybrid drive system – using lithium-ion batteries – that will allow the technology to be rolled out across the manufacturer’s range.
The new E300 BlueTec hybrid uses the existing 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine from the E250 CDI, producing 201bhp and 369lb ft of torque, but is supplemented by an electric motor producing a further 184lb ft.
The outcome of Mercedes' modifications is claimed combined fuel economy of 67.2mpg with 109g/km CO2 emissions, qualifying the E300 BlueTec hybrid for car tax of £20 per year.
The new E400 hybrid features Mercedes’ 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine borrowed from the E350 BlueTec plus the firm’s modular hybrid drive system. This petrol engine car is more likely to appeal to US buyers, while the diesel-hybrid variant will be more suitable for European drivers.
Both E-class hybrids will be able to achieve 22mph (35kph) on electric power alone, but only for 0.62 miles – so we don't expect this to be these hybrids’ finest selling point.
The E-Class long ago established itself as a major player on the scene. Its elevated comfort, tech-savvy dash options, and energetic performance have been this ride's most recognized attributes. But those who own this tastefully bold vehicle know beauty on the outside counts as well. A Mercedes E-Class Spoiler is always an exciting addition to this ride's exterior and just for the occasion, CARiD.com is on-point with the selection you need.

Mercedes-Benz Will Extend 4Matic Range For 2012

Mercedes-Benz Will Extend 4Matic Range For 2012. If you’ve been eying a new Mercedes-Benz C-Class or E-Class coupe, but are hesitant to pull the trigger due to the cars' rear-drive layout, we’ve got good news for you. In 2012, Mercedes-Benz will extend it’s 4Matic all-wheel-drive range in the United States to include the two-door variants of its popular C-Class and E-Class models.
 The news comes via Car and Driver, which advises that both C-Class and E-Class 4Matic coupes will be offered with the 3.5-liter V-6 engine only. This engine produces 302 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque, which should be sufficient to meet your dashing-through-the-snow needs.
 The 4Matic coupes will be sold alongside rear-drive C-Class and E-Class coupes, and certain models (like the E550, C250 and C63 AMG) will continue to be offered in rear-drive only.
 It’s possible that a C350 4Matic sedan will join the lineup in 2012 as well, adding to the already-available C300 sedan, which comes only in 4Matic trim with the 228 horsepower, 3.0-liter V-6.

2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Hybrid

2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Hybrid at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.

Mercedes-Benz will unveil a new hybrid system for its E-Class sedan at the 2012 Detroit auto show. The trim, called the 2013 Mercedes-Benz E400 Hybrid, will feature compact hybrid components attached to Mercedes' standard 3.5-liter V-6.
The gas/electric hybrid system — which includes auto start-stop, regenerative braking and pure electric driving, depending on speed — has an estimated 24/31 mpg city/highway rating and a 27 mpg combined rating, according to Mercedes. The system, which was originally featured on the S-Class, improves gas mileage by about 17% over the standard E350. The compact nature of the hybrid system means that neither passenger nor cargo space has been compromised, Mercedes says.
 It's a marked improvement in gas mileage, but the gains do not compare favorably to the 2013 Lexus GS 450h (29/34/31 mpg) or the 2012 Infiniti M Hybrid (27/32/29 mpg). BMW hasn't announced mileage figures for its 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 yet.
Mercedes says its hybrid will only cost moderately more than an E350 sedan, which currently starts at $50,490; the S400 Hybrid is an entry-level offering for the S-Class lineup, for instance. A similar tack might be planned for the E400 Hybrid.
The model will go on sale sometime in the middle of next year, the automaker says. We'll have more information when the hybrid debuts at the 2012 Detroit auto show.

Mercedes News

Mercedes C- and E-Class coupes to get AWD option next year.
4Matic has proven to be a popular feature on various Mercedes-Benz models, especially in U.S. regions that experience four distinct seasons. But while all-wheel-drive is almost a necessary option in the luxury sedan segment, Daimler's C-Class and E-Class coupes have soldiered on only with rear-drive.
According to Car and Driver, that will change for next year. The 4Matic system will reportedly only be offered with the company's 3.5-liter V6, which pumps out 302 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
This news could mean changes for the C-Class sedan as well. Currently, 4Matic is only offered with the 3.0-liter V6-equipped C300 sedan, so this could mean that the C350 sedan could also get an AWD option in 2012. That's good news for grip-loving buyers who want more oomph than the modestly powered 228-horsepower C300 can provide.
CARiD's job is to put our drivers in touch with Mercedes E Class Accessories that deliver the effect they're going for.
