First word that Frankfurt will host a Mercedes M-Class hybrid SUV hit the online megalopolis this afternoon. Powered by a version of the dual mode hybrid system developed in partnership with GM and BMW, the ML 450 Hybrid sustains system output of 250 kW/340 hp, with max torque of 354 lb-ft. All told, it reportedly gets combined mileage of 30.6 mpg, with CO2 emissions of 185 g/km (297 g/m). We'll convey all new developments as they occur, perhaps before. [Carscoop]
