2016 Mercedes-Benz C350e Plug-In Hybrid
Riding the Wave
Today's competitor, the C350e, takes after the S550 Plug-In Hybrid out of the door. As its name proposes, the C gloats six-chamber control figures, in spite of the fact that Mercedes claims it posts three-barrel economy numbers. The key lies in the zapped C's powertrain. Including a four-chamber motor making 208 strength and an electric engine pumping out 80 stallions, the C moves out on an abundant, loose flood of 443 lb-ft of aggregate framework torque. In exemplary M-B form, it's not a wild blast of force, yet rather a steroidal peacefulness, supported by the most recent C-class' neo-S-class comportment.
There's no delight slaughtering CVT ramble here. The transmission is Benz's demonstrated seven-speed programmed. In any case, set up of a torque converter, the gearbox highlights the electric engine rushed up to a wet grasp, offering torque-converter smoothness with straightforwardly coupled effectiveness. In the Mercedes, the move paddles accomplish an option that is other than direct regenerative power—we're taking a gander at you, Cadillac ELR—taking into consideration genuine to-Fangio byway shenanigans.
A scope of four drive modes (Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+) match with a quartet of power administration determinations (Hybrid, E-mode, E-spare, and Charge, taking into consideration everything from slope hikes with solitary purpose to clog zone cruising exclusively on battery control. Mercedes claims that on the incredibly hopeful European cycle, the auto is useful for 20 miles on power alone. We oversaw around eight in the city of San Francisco. Once outside the city, we observed the C to be a fine, loose cruiser on Highway 1 and a shockingly eager accomplice on exhaust rustic streets. The 350e won't be confused for an AMG item at any point in the near future, yet it will hustle when called upon.
Inside, it's a C-class. Which used to imply that it was less than impressive, modest feeling junk. Presently it implies solace, style, and fabulousness in materials. Tragically, the COMAND infotainment framework still trails the other two German extravagance marks in usability. Our specific test auto was furnished with the fine Burmester sound framework, which disguised the four-banger's fairly iron deficient fumes note. Note to carbon-concerned gully carvers: Stock up on Kraftwerk MP3s. You'll need them.
ZEV States Only
We truly have only one issue with the C350e, which goes on special this fall at an expected base cost in the low $40,000s—Mercedes is offering it just in states that take after California's zero-discharges vehicle command, a destiny typically held for costly electric econoboxes with constrained range. The other enormous sit back and watch is efficiency. Mercedes cites Euro-cycle figures of 98 to 112 mpg. That, obviously, presumes you've connected the vehicle to. Daimler won't discharge EPA numbers until nearer to dispatch, or even talk about rough approximations when prodded, however given that the Euro cycle has a tendency to be more hopeful than EPA evaluations, we'd expect harsh equality with the current Chevy Volt.
On the off chance that we've given the feeling that the C350e is a B-street weapon, we apologize. We simply wound up to be wonderfully amazed with its abilities in that milieu. Weekend warriors would do well to take a gander at BMW's M235i or store their pennies for the Mercedes-AMG C63. Be that as it may, as a do-it-all, capital-G German car with short-separate zero-emanations ability, the C350e hits its imprints. We wish the Germans would quit gloating about Euro-cycle electric range, since that figure is for all intents and purposes good for nothing. That niggle aside, the module C is another amazing section in a range whose logbook is stippled liberally with high stamps.
