Mercedes-Benz is gearing up to introduce two new E-Class hybrids.
First up, the E300 BlueTec Hybrid will use a 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel engine with 201 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. It will be backed up by an electric motor that develops 27 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to this setup, the car will reportedly accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 150 mph.
In terms of efficiency, the model is expected to return a combined 56 mpg with CO2 emissions of 109 g/km. Additionally, the 0.8 kWh lithium-ion battery should enable the vehicle to travel approximately one mile on electricity alone.
There's also word of a US-only E400 Hybrid which will use the aforementioned electric motor and a 3.5-liter V6 petrol engine. It is slated to return 32.4 mpg.
Both models are expected to be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show, so stay tuned for full details.
