奔驰近日在法兰克福车展发布了S560e插电混动车，这款车采用与ProjectOne超跑完全不同的混动模式，它可替代老旧的S500e，它的燃油经济性表现让人惊喜，百公里综合油耗仅为2.1升，每公里二氧化碳排放量仅为49克。不仅如此，该车纯电动模式下续航里程为50公里，这要归功于该车搭载的13.5千瓦时锂电池，它的尺寸与以前相同，但容量进一步增加。燃油经济性的提升并不意味着动力和性能的降低。该车搭载的3.0升V6汽油引擎功率270千瓦/367马力，扭矩500牛米，而电机功率为90千瓦/121马力，扭矩440牛米。车辆百公里加速时间仅为5秒，最高时速250公里。通过将电机装进引擎室内，这款车可以提供更大行李箱容积，其410立升容积比S500e增加了15立升。这款车还标配空调预先设置功能，可以预先加热车内空气，方向盘和中控台扶手，同时可对座椅进行制冷。
Mercedes S560e Plug-in Hybrid Steers You Away From Diesels
An entirely different kind of a hybrid compared to the Project One hypercar, the Mercedes S560e comes to replace the old S500e version of the pre-facelift S-Class and aims to deliver amazing fuel economy for a car of this size. Without further ado, the partially electrified fullsize sedan will sip just 2.1 liters / 100 km in the combined cycle with corresponding CO2 emissions of 49 g/km.
Not only that, but it will cover up to 31 miles (50 kilometers) running in zero-emissions mode thanks to a new 13.5-kWh lithium-ion battery that has the same physical size as before, but now benefits from an increased capacity.
The fact that emphasis was put on efficiency doesn’t mean the latest member of the S-Class family is down on power or performance. On the contrary, its 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine delivers 367 horsepower (270 kilowatts) and 369 pound-feet (500 Newton-meters) of torque whereas the electric motor is good for 121 hp (90 kW) and 325 lb-ft (440 Nm). Thanks to this hybrid punch, the new S560e needs only five seconds to reach 62 mph (100 kph) and will do 155 mph (250 kph).
By moving the power electronics into the engine compartment, Mercedes’ engineers were able to free up more space inside the trunk and it now has a total capacity of 410 liters or 15 liters more than it did on the previous S500e model. As standard, the luxury sedan benefits from pre-entry climate control if the driver sets a departure time. It will pre-heat the air, steering wheel, and the armrests in the center console and doors, while cooling will also turn on the ventilation function of the seats.
