2011 GL350 BlueTEC

Rare 2011 GL350 BlueTEC at Sullivan-Parkhill Imports in Champaign, IL with an EPA estimated 17 MPG city and 21 MPG highway.

 

Blue Efficiency Power: the new generation of heavy-duty engines from Mercedes-Benz for economic running, environmental compatibility and efficiency. Today's BlueTEC models are simply the world's most advanced diesels, with the ultra-low emissions, high fuel economy and responsive performance that makes them not merely available in all 50 states, but desirable.

 

BlueTEC is the state of the art in clean diesel technology. BlueTEC brings together an array of advanced technologies to create the world's cleanest diesel automobiles. Advanced and highly precise components, from high-pressure fuel injection to a variable-vane turbo, create more complete and powerful combustion. But the breakthrough is an innovative liquid solution called AdBlue. When injected into the exhaust, AdBlue converts the nitrogen oxide emissions into harmless nitrogen and oxygen. And BlueTEC vehicles can use both ultralow-sulfur fuels (now the standard nationwide) or even B5 Biodiesel.

 

For 2011, the turbocharged BlueTEC V-6 delivers 210 hp and a massive 400 lb-ft of torque, for responsive acceleration with responsible fuel economy of up to 21 highway mpg. Mercedes-Benz, pioneer of the first diesel car, has revolutionized it without the noise, odor and emissions of old. By injecting a solution called AdBlue® into the exhaust, BlueTEC reduces smog-causing NOx to harmless nitrogen and water vapor.
