Mercedes-Benz S320 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY - Best New Car

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Mercedes-Benz S 320 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY - Best New Car : New to the car is the standstill decoupling feature, which interrupts the power flow to the transmission as soon as the vehicle draws to a stop with the engine running, in much the same way as the clutch on a manual transmission. This eliminates the converter’s hydrodynamic resistance, lessening the load on the engine and lowering fuel consumption.

The Mercedes-Benz S320 CDI BlueEfficiency rides as standard on 17-inch light-alloy wheels shod with reduced rolling resistance tyres, featuring a special carcass construction.

The new model will replace the S320 CDI, and consumes just 7.6L of diesel per 100km (31mpg) with a correspondingly low carbon emission rating of 199g/km – a reduction of 0.7L and 21g, respectively, over the outgoing model.

The price for the S 320 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY in Germany is unchanged at €70,864.50 (incl. VAT). The long-wheelbase version costs €78,718.50 (incl. VAT).
