Plug-In Hybrid Mercedes-Benz A250e Is Just Around The Corner
A plug-in hybrid version of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class is just around the corner, documents from the German transport authority have revealed.
Set to be dubbed the Mercedes-Benz A250e, the new vehicle is set to feature the turbocharged 1.3-liter petrol engine from the A200 pumping out 158 hp and 148 lb-ft (200 Nm) of torque. The German car manufacturer will then complement this engine with a transmission-mounted electric motor adding an additional 101 hp and 221 lb-ft (299 Nm) of torque to give the vehicle more power than the current A250, Autocar reports.
Providing power to the electric motor will be a 15 kWh lithium-ion battery pack which will reportedly offer up to 37 miles (59 km) of all-electric driving. The transmission used by the A250e is expected to be the same eight-speed unit already used by other compact Mercedes-Benz models such as the GLB.
