I think this is the best diesel hybrid in the world. Pure EV is not good enough because of long distance trips. I think diesel hybrids are best. You get the benefits of EV for the short trips and good economy for highway, thanks to the high torque low rpm Diesel engine. I hope they don’t discontinue this line.
Amazing video. Amazing car with amazing fuel economy. Imagine a fully charged battery. Use battery in the city where battery and electric motor is most efficient. And then diesel on highway. I'm sure this car can have a range of 1600kms even more. Unbelievable.
@@1001cars Agreed and I think the normal E220d can do the same. But the only way diesel can live on is to hybridise it. You get to then travel emission free in a city and use no fuel. And then you get the amazing diesel economy on the highway too. It's the best of both. Plus as a hybrid it is faster too. This has more power and torque than a normal 220d and you get stellar economy. I love it. Diesel is too good.
