Mercedes-Benz worked on the dual-mode engine with other automakers to come up with the best in the business. With the help of General Motors, Chrysler and BMW, the German automaker created a hybrid that is similar to the one used in the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid. The engine consists of a gasoline-powered engine combined with a CVT, or continuously variable transmission, along with four clutches and twin electric motors. The German automaker also included Mercedes-Benz’s patented 4Matic all-wheel drive system to make this hybrid really stand out from the rest.

With this intricate system, the 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML450H Hybrid provides more than 330 horsepower along with 380 pound-feet of torque. But with all that power, you still get decent gas mileage. The EPA estimates that the 2010 ML450H gets about 21 miles per gallon in the city and nearly 25 miles to the gallon when driving on the highway. You can also get up to 60 miles per hour from a stop in less than 8 seconds. Tell me that’s not impressive for a hybrid!

Here’s something that is even more amazing about the ML450H: If you want to get even better performance (like if you want to show off at a red light or for your girlfriend), you can switch to Sport mode. This reprograms the transmission so you can get shorter shift times and eight fixed ratios for more speed and better acceleration. And while you are driving, you can get a real-time display right on the dash that tells you about how much charge is left in the battery, your fuel consumption and the energy flow so you can adjust your driving habits accordingly.

On the exterior, Mercedes-Benz decided to give the ML450H a low profile. It does, however, have a modified hood and a BlueEfficiency logo on the fender. You may also notice a hybrid badge on the back to show others its eco-friendly status.

Don’t take our word for it, though. Take the 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML450H Hybrid for a test drive at one of your NJ area Benz dealers and see how you can get fuel efficiency and performance wrapped up in one luxurious vehicle. You may not believe your eyes!

You probably have not heard much about the 2010 Mercedes S400 Hybrid with all of the other automakers coming out with hybrid models. But Mercedes-Benz is happy to be in the background as long as the company is making superior cars that the most discerning and distinguished car buyers will notice.

That’s exactly what MB has done with the 2010 S400 Hybrid. Mercedes-Benz is the first automaker to put a next generation lithium-ion battery pack into one of its production hybrids. That gives the car more range than comparable hybrids on the market today.

In addition to that, the S400 is the first Mercedes-Benz hybrid vehicle to get into showrooms. Along with the hybrid technology, the MB S-Class vehicles also have a new look with a refreshed grille, new headlight clusters and new bumpers to make it stand out from previous generations and other models. And besides a couple small badges, you wouldn’t know the S400 Hybrid is actually a hybrid unless you take a look under the hood. The S400 Hybrid includes a 3.5-liter V6 engine with a seven-speed automatic transmission along with an electric motor mounted between the two. The hybrid system “never operates in electric-only mode the way the one in the Toyota Prius does” and the electric motor helps the engine and lets it shut off when the car comes to a stop. That’s something other hybrids just don’t do.

A family vehicle has never been this luxurious.

Most families, when they find themselves needing room for a couple extra kids and a trunkful of equipment, go for a minivan or a station wagon. Unfortunately, along with that choice comes a whole boatload of stigma, and that’s not a lot of fun for many modern families who know that having kids doesn’t mean you stop appreciating the finer things in life.

So how to walk the line between beauty and practicality? Slide into a 2010 Mercedes R-Class R350 4Matic, and you’ll find it just isn’t a problem anymore.

The bucket front seats, along with four rear seats make for a total of 6 people comfortably riding along. Both driver and passenger have 8-way power adjustable seats – the driver even gets adjustable lumbar support.

In the rear you’ll find roomy captain’s chairs and folding split-bench third-row seats that can make room for more cargo if necessary. The rear seats also recline, a handy feature for long road trips. Power outlets in front, rear and cargo make entertainment no trouble at all, even if you didn’t have the radio with in-dash 6-CD/DVD changer with MP3 Playback stereo and speed sensitive volume control. The auxiliary MP3 audio input and optional video monitor ensure that every vacation is a breeze.

The R350 gets its power from a 3.5 liter 268-hp V6 engine, and the all-wheel drive and 7-speed automatic transmission make for the sort of smoothly elegant driving experience that you’d expect from a Mercedes. The suspension contributes a good deal to the smooth ride, too, with four-wheel independent suspension, front and rear stabilizer bar, and self leveling suspension.

As for the driver, they’ll want for absolutely no convenience in this luxury family wagon. The R350 is pre-wired for phone and includes Bluetooth, a trip computer, rain sensing wipers, privacy glass, and incredibly comfortable seats.

Of course, every family vehicle has to have safety as a paramount concern, luxury vehicle or no. The R350 has you covered there with 4-wheel ABS, ventilated front disc and solid rear disc brakes, front, rear, and third row airbags, child safety locks, child seat anchors, and a post-collision safety system. Monitoring for the vehicle ensures that no unfortunate safety issue goes unchecked, so you can drive your children in style knowing their safety is taken care of, too.

For luxury and practicality in the perfect blend, the Mercedes R-Class R350 4Matic is ideal. Check yours out at Your Mercedes.
