Start/Stop function as standard for Mercedes-Benz S 350 BlueTec

Mercedes-Benz S350 BlueTec's V6 diesel engine is now combined with the ECO Start/Stop function, resulting in a drop of fuel consumption to 6.2 L / 100 km, with 0.6 l less than its predecessor - or 9%. The V6 engine generates 258 horse power and 620 Nm of torque and from now on, the Start/Stop is a standard feature. The ECO start/stop system developed by Mercedes-Benz switches the engine off when the vehicle comes to a standstill – for example at traffic lights. The engine then immediately starts again as soon as the driver takes his foot off the brake pedal. Thanks to the intelligent control system, all of the vehicle’s functions and comfort systems continue to operate during the stop phase.

The increase in efficiency was also achieved, among other things, through the use of TWAS(twin-wire-arc-sprayed) coating technology.

 

AMG has been using TWAS coating technology since 2005 in the 6.3-litre V8 in all model series, including the new SLS. Based on the positive experiences gained, Mercedes has now also developed this technology further for diesel engines.

It is currently being introduced in the new Mercedes V6 diesel engine.

The benefits are impressive. Taking the diesel engine as an example, the potential savings are around 3%.
At the same time, the weight has been reduced by 4.3 kg.

The price of the Mercedes-Benz S 350 BlueTEC remains unchanged at 76,517 euros, inclusive of 19% VAT.
