Mercedes-Benz: In USA ritorna la Classe S Diesel

[Beckervdo]

Dopo 15 anni, la Mercedes, ritorna sul suo americano con la sua ammiraglia turbodiesel.

All'epoca l'ultimo baluardo fu la S350 TurboDiesel

Using the same BlueTEC 3.0-liter V6 diesel seen in its M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, the S350 BlueTEC will be rated at 210 horsepower and 400 lb-ft. Although EPA fuel economy figures haven’t been released, look for around 28-29 mpg on the highway, a vast improvement over the 21 mpg offered by the S550 and even a small boost above the S400 Hybrid.

The S350 BlueTEC will also feature Mercedes-Benz’s 4Matic all-wheel-drive as standard.

The S350 will serve as the entry-level model for Mercedes’ North American lineup, although the automaker isn’t expected to release pricing until much closer to its on-sale date during the first quarter of 2011.
