It’s not all about going green here on TheGreenCarWebsite.co.uk – sometimes we can acknowledge companies that are going blue too.
Take for example Mercedes-Benz, which is introducing a new S350 BlueTec engine equipped with a selective catalytic reduction system that uses AdBlue and complies with emission levels outlined for 2014 as part of the EU6 standard.
The combined fuel consumption is 35mpg with CO2 emissions at 177g/km making the new V6 diesel model 11 per cent more economical than its predecessor. Meanwhile the power output has actually increased by 10 per cent and torque is 15 per cent higher at 620Nm.
Capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in 7.1 seconds, the S350 BlueTec has a top speed of 155mph with the AdBlue tank installed under the luggage compartment floor with a capacity of 6.8gallons. The tank is replenished at regular maintenance intervals every 15,500miles.
The new Mercedes-Benz S350 BlueTec is available from €76,279.
