The R 350 BlueTEC is one of the world’s cleanest premium SUVs. The 6-cylinder engine transfers every injection into forward motion with souveranity by the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
Instantaneous responses are a specialty of the state-
of-the-art 6-cylinder engine modified in certain areas for deployment in the R 350 BlueTEC. For example, the experts revised the piston recess geometry and reduced the compression ratio of the engine with the aim of lowering emissions. The turbocharger of the 3.0-liter unit was also at the receiving end of some optimization treatment.
In everyday use these technical refinements are reflected in low fuel consumption, while in the vehicle registration document they are summed up by the output entry (155 kW/211 hp).
However, the most important fact is displayed in chromed lettering on the R-Class tailgate: BlueTEC. Developed by specialists at Mercedes-Benz, BlueTEC technology minimizes the nitrogen oxide emissions
of the R-Class. The first BlueTEC vehicle launched
by Mercedes-Benz – the E 320 BlueTEC – was awarded the 2007 title of World Green Car as the
most environment-friendly car of the year.
And the
gas flow during a journey. AdBlue is broken down into water and ammonia – the key components in nitrogen oxide reduction – in the hot exhaust system. The R 350 BlueTEC already meets the Euro 6 exhaust emissions standard due to come into force in 2014.
The 5.17-meter (16.96-ft.) long-wheelbase R-Class can be guided as precisely and effortlessly as a compact car through the hairpin bends – with just two fingers, should you so choose. The power steering is speed-sensitive, which means that below 100 km/h
(62 mph) the force you need to turn the wheel decreases steadily. The lower the car’s speed, the more servo assistance the system generates, which means greater comfort – and not only when maneuvering into and out of tight parking spots.
The 350 BlueTEC is available with five, six or seven seats. The load compartment of the longwheelbase
R-Class Is almost 2,22 meters (7,28 ft.)in length. The Mercedes-Benz R 350 BlueTEC has what it takes to push back boundaries.
