It’s planning the first commercial production diesel-engine hybrid. Imagine an SUV that gets 40mpg.
(Note: Ford had a diesel-hybrid car as a concept vehicle several years ago, but even with the new clean diesel, has not seen fit to bring it to market. The Big Three, geniuses again!)
Mercedes also plans three diesel-hybrid cars. All four vehicles will use its BlueTek four-cylinder diesel engine.
And, this SUV is not sacrificing Mercedes-style power. It’s got a 0-60 time of 7.3 seconds. Plus, it claims to be even cleaner than any of Toyota’s gasoline-hybrid SUVs.
