The German Mercedes Benz marketed as well as USA at Japan to its line of environmentally friendly cars, where the first will appear in the S400 BlueHybrid. The luxury saloon of Mercedes will be the first to market with the new engine.
This new variant first came into production for the European market after the U.S. and a month later will be present in the Japanese market.
In Japan , unlike the rest, Mercedes will be more competition in terms of engine, as the Japanese and Korean firms submitted very soon to their luxury saloons with engine very similar, implying a fairly tough competition for the star.
In addition to entering this market, it has to go through customs with a tariff that does not benefit at all. It has an estimated cost of about 129,000 to $ 139,000 , a very high price, more than expected.
The new S400 BlueHybrid is the first hybrid export Japan , making it the first link in a chain of future hybrid cars to enter the land of the rising sun. By now all the data that we can rescue this arrival, but soon we will be like the steps of Mercedes in this country.
