2013 Mercedes-Benz E350 BlueTEC Diesel Test Drive & Luxury Car Video Review

www.autobytel.c... The amount of diesel powered luxury cars on the road are few. BMW has the 3-Series Diesel and Audi has the A3 TDI but these are both a smaller class of car. The 2013 Mercedes-Benz E350 BlueTEC is really one of the only choices when it comes to a large luxury diesel car. The E-Class comes in a couple of different body styles like the: Sedan, Coupe, Cabriolet, and a Wagon. There are also numerous engine options encompassing everything from a smaller displacement V-6 all the way up to a large displacement high performance V-8 with a Hybrid and Diesel option thrown into the mix as well. The price range on the 2013 Merceedes-Benz E-Class also runs the gamut but the BlueTEC is only $1200 more than the base V-6 model at $52,200 making it a great buy.
Diesel engines and the Mercedes brand have a long history together. In fact it's not uncommon to see decades old diesel powered cars built by Mercedes still driving around. Now-a-days diesel is back in a big way and brands like Audi and Volkswagen are pushing those engines on a bunch of models.
The exterior of the 2013 Mercedes E-Class has the high-end executive look. The styling is not over the top like other luxury vehicles but it does give off the luxury vibe. The E-Class looks good without trying too hard. Up front the daytime LED running lights are now the industry standard, the headlights look great, the front bumper has a bit of aggressiveness, and the big star emblem gives proper homage to the cars of yesteryear. Moving to the side, the E-Class has sharp angular lines and a bold shoulder line down the side. Out back the E-Class has nice looking LED tail lamps and a great dual exhaust.
Under the hood of the 2013 Mercedes E350 BlueTEC is a turbocharged 3.0 liter diesel V-6 that makes 210 horsepower and a whopping 400 lb-ft. of torque. This large amount of torque helps the E350 get going of the line. Fuel economy figures are 22 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway but owners say the actual figures are higher. The 2013 Mercedes-Benz E350 handles quite well. The steering is responsive and the ride is comfortable.
The price as mentioned before is over $52k for this E350 BlueTEC. For that money though you get comfortable heated leather seats, steering wheel mounted controls, a nice Navigation system, rear privacy curtain, the COMMAND infotainment system, and a ton of safety features. With this 2013 Mercedes-Benz E350 BlueTEC you are not only getting luxury but you are getting great fuel economy. If you want a full or mid-sized luxury sedan with diesel, you really only have a few options. The E350 BlueTEC is classy, powerful, and fuel efficient.

Love, love and really love my E350 blutec! It’s fun to look forward to get in your car every day. On my last trip on I75 with all the casualness I loved to run a Bentley and some wannabes down. It’s a bullet. Execration from 80 to 140 is just as much fun than zero to 80. Gentle giant. Ended with fuel efficiency 35 miles/gallon.

Does your car need AdBlue?

I leaned down with my mic and listened to it... it's loud, and I like the noise it makes.

Love that E350 BlueTec.

E220CDI with 177hp does a 100 mpg instant while cruising at 60 mph, and about 55-60 mpg average, in combined city / open road driving. So 40 mpg is nothing special. They got 34 in a test drive...loaded with filming gear and crew, and definitely not driving slowly. And if they were in europe and using high quality diesel fuel, it would be even better. This engine for US market is purposefully modified because of low quality diesel fuel in US, thats why it makes 50hp less than in Europe.

In the Americas, a gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces or 3.785 liters (American spelling). But in the UK, it's 160 fluid ounces or 4.546 litres (British spelling). That's quite a difference, with the British contenders having 20% more diesel per gallon. Your correct in the Diesel refinery and amount cetane . Percentage wise I’d say European cars are more diesel and more stick shift.
