Will Diesels Turn the Heat Up on Hybrids?

Toyota has just introduced the new Camry Hybrid at the Detroit auto show. With ‘Hybrid’ being the present buzzword for car buyers across the US, diesels appear to be making a strong move to capture the North American mileage crown. DaimlerChrysler’s new BLUETEC 3.2L engine will fit into everything from the E-Class sedan, R-Class tourer, ML-Class SUV and new GL-Class full size SUV.

In a press Conference, Dieter Zetsche stressed primarily two things on the BLUETEC 3.2L diesel engine:
#1. It meets the world’s most stringent exhaust emissions standards, including all 50 U.S. states, and
#2. it gets great gas mileage in every vehicle.
However, the BLUETEC 3.2L diesel six produces 224 hp and an undisclosed but presumably large amount of torque.
