2010 Mercedes Benz S-Class Hybrid

After three years of the current S-Class, Mercedes-Benz is launching the restyled 2010 Mercedes-Benz S-Class in August. With the very latest technology for even greater safety, as well as trailblazing innovations in comfort and drive technology, the Mercedes-Benz flagship is reasserting its leading position as the brand's innovation platform and benchmark for luxury sedans.
In the 2010 S-Class, Mercedes-Benz has improved the renowned safety level even further with a unique combination of innovative camera and radar-based driver assistance systems. These include Adaptive Highbeam Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and the PRE-SAFE® brake system linked to the proximity regulating radar, which intervenes autonomously before an impending rear-end collision and acts like an invisible crumple zone. Other innovations in the 2010 Mercedes-Benz S-Class include the Attention Assist driver drowsiness monitor and Active Body Control with automatic crosswind stabilization.The new Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid is also celebrating its debut. As the first series-production Mercedes-Benz passenger car with hybrid drive, this S-Class model is the world's most economical luxury car with a gasoline engine. Its estimated combined fuel consumption of 29 miles per gallon sets a new worldwide benchmark in this vehicle segment."The Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid is a major milestone on our road towards emission-free mobility", says Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of Daimler AG and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Cars. "Our first series-production hybrid passenger car exemplifies the long-term, sustainability-oriented development strategy of Mercedes-Benz, which has a clearly defined aim: economical and environmentally compatible premium automobiles, with no compromises in terms of safety, comfort and a superior driving experience." The Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid is also a trailblazer where energy storage is concerned: the new luxury sedan is the first series production car in the world to be equipped with the very latest lithium-ion battery technology. "In this way the S-Class and the Mercedes-Benz brand are doing important pioneering work for the electrification of the automobile."The new hybrid model combines a low fuel consumption and a high level of environmental compatibility with superior performance: the internal combustion engine and the hybrid module develop a combined output of 295 hp, and a combined maximum torque of 284 lb-ft. (The electric motor contributes 20 hp and 118 lb-ft to the powertrain).With 270,000 units sold world-wide since its launch, the W 221-series S-Class is the world's most successful luxury sedan, and seamlessly continues the success story of the flagship model in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. Since 1951, when the model 220 began the direct lineage of the S-Class, Mercedes-Benz has delivered around 3.3 million passenger cars from this model series to customers. The U.S. line-up includes the Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid, the 382-hp V8-powered S550 and all-wheel-drive S550 4MATIC as well as the high-performance 518-hp Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. V12 offerings include the 510-hp Mercedes-Benz S600 and the top-of-the-line 604-hp S65 AMG. The 2010 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will be in U.S. showrooms beginning in August.

Mercedes S400 Hybrid Review

Well, I've just driven the world's first mass-production automobile that employs a lithium-ion battery (the lithium-ion-using Tesla Roadster being a low-production affair). No, it isn't a full electric vehicle as Dr. MacCready would have preferred. But there, tucked in the corner of the Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid's engine bay, was a 32-cell, 120 volt, 0.9 amp-hour, lithium-ion battery about the size of shoebox.
For lithium-ion's first foray into mass production, the finicky battery type (dogged by YouTube videos of burning laptops) is getting kid-glove treatment. The most important kindness given it is cooling, performed by the AC system's refrigerant which is circulated by an electric motor (this required to provide air conditioning while the engine is shut down.) To give you an idea how pampered this battery is, when we asked how long it'll endure before replacement, Mercedes' engineers responded, "It'll last as long as the car itself" That's become a common claim about nickel-metal-hydride batteries, but I suspect both Tesla's and Chevy's Volt engineers are blanching at that proclamation being applied to lithium.
