Next Mercedes-Benz E-Class could get BlueTec-Two-Mode hybrid powertrain

The next-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class is due to hit the streets in 2010. When it finally appears, it will have a full range of engine options from a 1.8L four cylinder to a 5.5L V-8 on the gasoline side. On the diesel front, 2.2L four cylinder and 3.0L V-6 engines will be part of the lineup too.

A completely new option is likely to join the lineup too. Mercedes showed an ML350 equipped with the Two-Mode hybrid and a 3.5L gasoline V-6 at the recent Frankfurt Motor Show. The E-class is expected to get the passenger car version of the Two-Mode system paired up with the new 2.2L BlueTec diesel four cylinder. This combination could potentially yield one of the highest mileage big sedans on the market when it arrives.

Mercedes releases two more efficient E-Class models in Europe

At September's Frankfurt Motor Show Mercedes-Benz showed off an array of more efficient vehicles including diesels, HCCI and hybrids. Two of the new models are now rolling into Mercedes showrooms in Europe in the form of additions to the E-Class lineup. The new E300 Bluetec brings the latest urea-injected clean diesel technology to European drivers in a big sedan or wagon. The 211 hp V-6 yields over 31 mpg (US) on the EU combined driving cycle. Over on the gasoline-fueled side of the family, the E350 CGI is live action not computer generated imagery. The new second-generation direct injection system first appeared last year in the CLS 350 and now gives the E-Class an extra 15 hp while improving mileage to 27 mpg on the EU cycle, an improvement of ten percent.
