Mercedes Benz working on two economical cars

The domestic and global car manufacturers alike seem to be focused on two important aspects of late. One is the highly fuel efficient petrol or diesel engines and two, otherwise come up with some alternative propulsion methods. And this is where the hybrid engines chip in. The luxury car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz also seems to be working in the same direction and here we have two diesel-electric hybrid cars launched just recently. India doesn’t seem to be even the last option for the car manufacturer so we will have to see what Mercedes-Benz India would want to do about this. European markets apart from the Japan and China markets are the only ones for the launch of the Mercedes-Benz E300 Blue TEC HYBRID and Mercedes-Benz E400 Blue TEC HYBRID moment.

What makes the cars all the more interesting is the economic price of the two hybrid car, though we do not have the slightest hint on the pricing details on the two cars.Fuel efficiency is the last question you ask when you are talking about a luxury car usually. But, of late the auto giants themselves seem to turn around their image. The E300 Blue TEC HYBRID car delivers an unbelievable mileage of around 25 kmpl with the combined effort of the diesel and the li-ion battery put together. The diesel powertrain powering this hybrid car delivers a whopping 204 Bhp and 500 Nm peak power and torque and then an additional assistance comes from the electric motor with the 20 Bhp and 200 Nm power and torque figures. If you are dumbfounded with the performance of the E300 hybrid car wait until you see what the E400 Blue TEC HYBRID has in store. The mileage of this car leaves the big shots behind that too with a petrol—electric hybrid engine offering the top mileage of the 35 mpg on the highways and a better performing engine too. The 306 Bhp maximum power and the 370 Nm top torque combined with the electric engine to deliver 24 Bhp and 250 Nm power and torque numbers are simply amazing.
