* S400 HYBRID: the first series-production Mercedes-Benz passenger car with
* hybrid drive and the world's first car with a lithium-ion battery
* Additional safety thanks to the latest driver assistance systems
* Modern, innovative design
After three years of the current S-Class, Mercedes-Benz is launching
the restyled 2010 S-Class in August. With the very latest technology
for even greater safety, as well as trailblazing innovations in comfort
and drive technology, the Mercedes-Benz flagship is reasserting its
leading position as the brand's innovation platform and benchmark for
luxury sedans.
In the 2010 S-Class, Mercedes-Benz has improved the renowned safety
level even further with a unique combination of innovative camera and
radar-based driver assistance systems. These include Adaptive Highbeam
Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and the PRE-SAFE
brake system linked to
the proximity regulating radar, which intervenes autonomously before an
impending rear-end collision and acts like an invisible crumple zone.
Other innovations in the 2010 S-Class include the ATTENTION ASSIST
driver drowsiness monitor and Active Body Control with automatic
crosswind stabilization.
The new S400 HYBRID is also celebrating its debut. As the first
series-production Mercedes-Benz passenger car with hybrid drive, this
S-Class model is the world's most economical luxury car with a gasoline
engine. Its estimated combined fuel consumption of 29 miles per gallon
sets a new worldwide benchmark in this vehicle segment.
"The S400 HYBRID is a major milestone on our road towards emission-free
mobility", says Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of Daimler AG and CEO of
Mercedes-Benz Cars. "Our first series-production hybrid passenger car
exemplifies the long-term, sustainability-oriented development strategy
of Mercedes-Benz, which has a clearly defined aim: economical and
environmentally compatible premium automobiles, with no compromises in
terms of safety, comfort and a superior driving experience." The S400
HYBRID is also a trailblazer where energy storage is concerned: the new
luxury sedan is the first series production car in the world to be
equipped with the very latest lithium-ion battery technology. "In this
way the S-Class and the Mercedes-Benz brand are doing important
pioneering work for the electrification of the automobile."
The new hybrid model combines a low fuel consumption and a high level
of environmental compatibility with superior performance: the internal
combustion engine and the hybrid module develop a combined output of
295 hp, and a combined maximum torque of 284 lb-ft. (The electric motor
contributes 20 hp and 118 lb-ft to the powertrain).
With 270,000 units sold world-wide since its launch, the W 221-series
S-Class is the world's most successful luxury sedan, and seamlessly
continues the success story of the flagship model in the Mercedes-Benz
lineup. Since 1951, when the model 220 began the direct lineage of the
S-Class, Mercedes-Benz has delivered around 3.3 million passenger cars
from this model series to customers.
The U.S. line-up includes the S400 HYBRID, the 382-hp V8-powered S550
and all-wheel-drive S550 4MATIC as well as the high-performance 518-hp
S63 AMG. V12 offerings include the 510-hp S600 and the top-of-the-line
604-hp S65 AMG. The 2010 S-Class will be in U.S. showrooms beginning in
August.
Unique combination of driver assistance systems
An absolutely unique combination of ultra-modern assistance and
protection systems is available for the 2010 S-Class. Many of these
systems are also available for the new E-Class, which debuts this
summer. The new assistance systems turn the models in the E and S-Class
into "intelligent" partners for their driver. The car is able to "see",
"feel", respond reflexively and act autonomously to prevent accidents
or mitigate their effects. Mercedes-Benz also uses cameras in these
systems - these are able to look well ahead, monitor the car's
surroundings and interpret typically critical situations. One example
is the optional Adaptive Highbeam Assist. This system recognizes
oncoming or leading vehicles and then controls the headlamps to ensure
the best possible beam range without dazzling other drivers on the road.
The Sindelfingen-based engineers have also developed Night View Assist
further – Night View Assist PLUS is equipped with a special pedestrian
detection function: as soon as the system detects pedestrians ahead of
the car, they are highlighted on the display to make it easier for the
driver to see them.
Lane Keeping Assist is another system that "looks ahead" for even safer
driving. The system's computer is able to recognize lane markings by
evaluating the contrasting images of the road surface and the markings.
If the vehicle leaves the lane unintentionally, the driver is warned by
short vibrations of the steering wheel. Unlike conventional systems of
this kind, the Mercedes-Benz system is able to evaluate the driver's
activities as well and can reliably ascertain whether the car is
leaving its lane intentionally or not. Therefore, there is no warning
if the driver accelerates before overtaking or merging onto a highway,
brakes heavily, or enters a curve.
Drowsiness detection on the basis of more than 70 parameters
With the driver drowsiness monitor, ATTENTION ASSIST, the 2010 S-Class
has very sensitive monitors for the attention level of its driver and
can warn them in time when they becomes drowsy. This innovative
technology continuously monitors more than 70 different parameters.
Once the high-resolution steering angle sensor recognizes the steering
behavior that typically indicates the onset of drowsiness, a warning
signal is sounded and "ATTENTION ASSIST. Time for a break!" appears in
the instrument cluster.
Mercedes-Benz has also improved the long and medium-range radar used by
Brake Assist PLUS and DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise control. Both
systems assist the driver during emergency braking. If the driver is
distracted and fails to recognize the immediate danger of a rear-end
collision, the PRE-SAFEBrake is able to intervene and brake the
vehicle independently. For the 2010 S-Class the developers in
Sindelfingen have improved this system even further: if the driver
fails to react even after an acoustic and visual warning, the
PRE-SAFEBrake is able to activate the maximum braking pressure around
0.6 seconds before what is now recognized as an unavoidable accident —
an emergency braking action that can significantly mitigate the
severity of the impact. The system therefore acts as something like an
"electronic crumple zone".
Detailed fine-tuning has also given the 2010 S-Class better driving
dynamics and agility. This is in large measure due to the new
electro-hydraulic Direct-Steer system, where the ratio varies with the
steering angle.
New: Active Body Control (ABC) compensates for crosswinds
Mercedes-Benz developers have also added a crosswind stabilization
function to Active Body Control (ABC) suspension. For this purpose ABC
uses the yaw rates and lateral acceleration sensors of the Electronic
Stability Program ESP to vary the wheel load distribution via the ABC
spring struts, depending on the direction and intensity of the
crosswind. This enables the effects of crosswinds to be compensated, or
reduced to a minimum in the case of strong gusts.
S400 HYBRID: the world's most economical gasoline-engined luxury sedan
The 2010 S-Class also plays a pioneering role where its drive system is
concerned: "The modular hybrid concept sets the new standard for
efficient, clean and superior motoring pleasure in all vehicle
segments, and is therefore a driving force for the premium automobile
of the future", says Dr. Thomas Weber, the member of the Daimler AG
Executive Board responsible for corporate research and development at
Mercedes-Benz Cars.
The new S400 HYBRID is the first car to be designed on the basis of the
highly intelligent modular concept developed by Mercedes-Benz to give
its customers the best hybrid solution for their requirements. The S400
HYBRID, which is a true technological trendsetter with this concept,
features all the necessary
components:
* a compact yet powerful electric motor
* the accompanying operating electronics
* a modern lithium-ion storage battery with a high capacity.
The compact hybrid module combines the hybrid functions of an automatic
start-stop system and energy recuperation. In several respects this
means that the S400 HYBRID sets a new standard in its class, making it
the world's most economical luxury sedan with a gasoline engine. Dr.
Thomas Weber: "This demonstrates that Mercedes-Benz is able to combine
sustainable mobility with the claim of automotive premium positioning -
with vehicles that are efficient and environmentally compatible,
without having to accept compromises in terms of safety, comfort and
superior driving refinement. At the same time the S400 HYBRID dispels
the myth that sustainable mobility is only possible with small cars."
The combined fuel economy for the S400 HYBRID is estimated at 29 miles per gallon, a 30-percent increase over the S550.
This figure is accompanied by a truly superior performance potential:
the modified 3.5-liter gasoline engine develops 275 hp, while the
electric motor generates 20 hp and a starting torque of 118 lb-ft.
The new Mercedes-Benz S400 HYBRID is based on a V6 version of the
S-Class and features an extensively modified drive train. This
encompasses a further development of the 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine, an
additional magneto-electric motor, the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic
transmission specially configured for the hybrid module, the necessary
operating and control electronics, the transformer and a high-voltage
lithium-ion battery.
During braking the electric motor acts as a generator and is able to
recover kinetic energy by a process known as recuperation. During this
process the electric motor works together seamlessly with the engine
brake of the internal combustion engine and the conventional wheel
brakes. The recuperated energy is stored by a compact but efficient
lithium-ion battery in the engine compartment and retrieved when
required. Major advantages over conventional nickel/metal hydride
batteries include a higher energy density and greater electrical
efficiency combined with more compact dimensions and a low battery
weight. Thanks to space-saving installation in the engine compartment,
the trunk capacity and generous interior dimensions remain unchanged.
The hybrid module also has a
convenient start-stop function.
Comfort: the latest multimedia technology
With its 6.5-inch color display screen, the standard COMAND system with
GPS navigation has been refined with a forty-gigabyte hard drive as
well as an integrated six-disc CD-DVD player and a Music Register for
around 1,000 MP3 tracks. HD Digital Radio and Zagat Restaurant ratings
are also available.
A new media interface makes it easier than ever to connect an iPod, USB
stick, memory card and other devices. Music tracks can be indicated on
the COMAND display located on the center console as well as a smaller
display in the center of the instrument cluster and they can be
selected with the buttons on the multi-function steering wheel.
Any Bluetooth-enabled cell phone will work hands-free – even with the
phone in a pocket or purse, the audio is automatically muted when a
call is made or received and callers are heard over the audio system
speakers. In addition, phone book info can be displayed by the COMAND
system.
Design: a muscular, self-assured presence
The modified design reflects the effortless superiority and power of
the S-Class sedan. It is characterized by the more pronounced
arrow-shape of the radiator grille, plus a new front bumper with a
discreet light-catching contour and a chrome strip below the cooling
air intakes. Exhaust tailpipes of all S-Class variants are visibly
integrated into the rear bumper. The headlamps incorporate bi-xenon
technology and LED indicators on the lower edge of the headlamp as
standard. Eye-catching highlights on the S400 HYBRID are provided by
the two round foglamps and daytime driving lights on each side of the
front bumper. Their location at the outer edges of the bumper
underlines the muscular character of the S400 HYBRID.
An even more dynamic look is provided by the Premium 1 package, which
is standard on the majority of the model line and includes striking LED
arrays for daytime driving lights, indicators and marker lights. They
lend an unmistakable day-and-night design to the front end. The rear
end is characterized by tail lights in an innovative LED design. Here
too, a total of 52 LEDs in the form of a double-C form an unmistakable
light signature.
Mercedes-Benz also makes more use of light as a styling element in the
interior via the standard ambient lighting, now with a choice between
three lighting moods: solar (amber), neutral (white) and polar
(ice-blue).
Interior: carefully selected materials and first-class finishing
The multifunction steering wheel of the S-Class has also been modified
by the Mercedes-Benz designers: the rim and airbag module are lined
with soft premium leather as standard. The new, flatter airbag module
also lends a sporty touch to the multifunction steering wheel.
Mercedes-Benz engineers have also implemented specific aerodynamic
measures to reduce wind noise, which also contributes to greater
traveling comfort.
