STUTTGART, Germany — Mercedes-Benz has pulled the wraps off its latest electric vehicle, the A-Class E-Cell, which goes into limited production this fall. The automaker said a run of 500 cars will be produced at its Rastatt plant and leased to customers in Germany, France and the Netherlands. There are no plans to bring the E-Cell to the U.S., a Mercedes spokesman told Inside Line.
The four-door, five-passenger hatchback is based on the standard A-Class and is fitted with a 95-horsepower electric motor developing 214 pound-feet of torque. A pair of lithium-ion batteries provides a range between charges of 124 miles. Top speed is electronically limited to 93 mph, with 0-60-mph acceleration in less than 14 seconds.
Mercedes says the A-Class E-Cell has the same luggage capacity as the standard version.
