Summary

The American version of the R 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC stands out for its slightly higher weight and performance parameters tailored to that market's standards. BlueTEC technology was essential to allow the sale of diesel engines in the US, using the AdBlue fluid injection system to reduce nitrogen oxides. Although it is an extremely comfortable and safe tool, used buyers should keep in mind the cost of maintaining the emission system and complex sensors that often require intervention after a high mileage.
