The first pictures have been released of the new Mercedes-Benz S400, the first Hybrid luxury sedan in the world with a lithium-ion battery, which will arrive in the Middle East in September.
"The S400 Hyrid is an important milestone on the way to emission-free mobility," said Frank Bernthaler, director, sales and marketing, Mercedes-Benz Cars, Middle East & Levant.
"Our first series production hybrid car exemplifies Mercedes-Benz's long-standing development strategy geared towards sustainability, with its clearly defined aim of producing economical and environment-friendly premium cars without compromising on safety, comfort and superior performance."
The first hybrid drive in a series production car from Mercedes-Benz makes this S-Class model the most economical petrol-engined luxury saloon. The fuel consumption of 7.9 litres per 100 kilometres corresponds to carbon dioxide emissions of just 186 grammes per kilometre.
This is the lowest level worldwide in this vehicle segment, confirming the new S400 HYBRID as the 'CO2 champion of the luxury class'.
The excellent fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions of the vehicle are accompanied by truly superior performance potential with the modified 3.5 litre petrol engine generating 279hp, while the electric motor produces 20hp and a starting torque of 160 Nm.
