Mercedes E 300de (2020): city fuel consumption (economy) with empty batteries test :: [1001cars]

[@MostCedric]

Diesel PHEV is a very good combination. Manufacturers should do more.

I really appreciate all the effort you go to to keep us educated . Thanks

Great video, found the answer I was looking for, cheers !

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]

You don't need hybrid to have 1600 km range :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIHapGOahZWEiM0

@@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.

That’s about the same as my e300de estate nice video

[@Abu-Talha-Al-Kurdi]

I‘d like to see more fullhybrids like the ones from Toyota . No charging needed and excellent consumption

[@TheHammondPL]

Lol It’s a PHEV

Can you do a highway or high speed drive with empty batteries?

[@1001cars]

I did it, and I linked movie about it in the description and in the end of the movie.

[@furiouzzzz]

let me understand this. Even with empty batteries car charges it and uses it so average consumption would be quite low?

[@1001cars]

Plug-In Hybrid car with empty batteries does not consume electric energy

[@andrewpataki7989]

Is it capable to drive in hybrid mode like a Prius despite if the battery is empty?

[@1001cars]

Yes, this is what you could see on this video.

[@Xvc2345]

do you need to charge the battery or does the engine do this?

[@1001cars]

If you want to make it efficient as it should be, you should charge the battery similar to every other PHEV

[@davoodshojai6268]

So bad with fuel
