Mercedes S400 BlueHybrid Concept Will Use Li-Ion Battery

Let’s take a moment of our time to take a look to a car which is not related and will not show up for the Geneva Motor Show. The reason why we present you this Mercedes-Benz is that the German automaker has developed a new hybrid system. The new S400 BlueHybrid will be powered by a 3.5-liter V6 petrol engine along with the 15kW electric engine.


The novelty consists of the fact that this hybrid will be the first to use lithium ion battery. Also the S400 BlueHybrid is the most economical sedan in NEDC (city and highway driving) by managing about 30 miles per gallon. This Hybrid Concept will be available as of 2009 with the ML450 two-mode hybrid system in the U.S. and Europe.

It's been at least two years since the birth of this hybrid wonder. Can you share some of your insights, or maybe some reviews on the car? Oh, wow! A V-6 engine? That's goin' to be fast! Anyway, given these good features, do you have an idea how fast it can go?

Jocelyn, that V-6 engine is blazingly fast! This car got positive reviews from local car experts in our place. And the great thing here is that this concept is being continuously improved by car companies. Hybrids are a blessing to car and nature lovers.
