S350 BlueTEC 4MATIC SEDAN- $92,250
3.0L BlueTEC turbodiesel V-6 engine
BlueTEC clean diesel technology is the state of
the art for all 50 states. The 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 delivers 240
hp, a massive 455 lb-ft of torque, and acceleration on par with many
gasoline V-8s. Mercedes-Benz, pioneer of the original diesel car, has
reinvented it without the noise, odor and emissions of old. By injecting
a solution called AdBlue® into the exhaust, BlueTEC reduces
smog-causing NOx to harmless nitrogen and water vapor. And with better
highway mpg than some 4-cylinders and hybrids, if offers a cruising
range of over 700 miles.
7-speed automatic transmission
The industry's first 7-speed automatic has been
made even smoother, more responsive and more efficient. A wide range of
closely spaced gear ratios delivers the ideal response in virtually
every driving situation, for relaxed cruising, quick acceleration, and
thanks to two overdrive ratios, better highway fuel efficiency. Adaptive
logic adjusts the shift points to match your driving style, while
paddle shifters on the steering wheel let you enjoy manual-style control
anytime you wish.
Paddle shifters
A pair of paddles strategically positioned
behind the upper steering-wheel spokes allows you to manually upshift
and downshift the 7-speed automatic transmission with just a flick of
your fingers.
4MATIC all-wheel drive
In any season or road condition, 4MATIC™
all-wheel drive adds to your confidence and control. Always engaged and
optimizing torque to every wheel, 4MATIC integrates with our standard
Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) for maximum effectiveness in corners
and slippery conditions. It also incorporates our 4-wheel Electronic
Traction System (4-ETS), which monitors for the first sign of wheel slip
and responds to ensure that torque is sent to the wheels with the best
grip -- even if that's only one wheel.
AIRMATIC semi-active suspension
For a balanced, comfortable ride, the AIRMATIC
semi-active suspension employs electronically controlled air springs
that adjust to changing driving conditions. A choice of two settings,
Sport and Comfort, lets drivers match the ride characteristics to their
mood. The system also lowers the ride height at higher speeds for
improved aerodynamics. AIRMATIC also provides automatic 4-wheel level
control, to help compensate for additional cargo or passengers.
Perforated front brake discs with 4-piston calipers
Perforated and internally ventilated front brake
discs help to better dissipate the hot gases generated during hard or
repeated braking, helping resist brake fade in order to maintain maximum
braking performance. The perforations are cast in place when the rotor
is made, to prevent the creation of stress points that can occur during
conventional cross-drilling. For more even and powerful braking force,
the front discs feature large 4-piston calipers.
