2 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class does have a hybrid version, which is equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system paired with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class features a total of four engines: a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a medium-power 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. All these engines are matched with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class comes with bi-xenon headlights, with novel-looking turn signals that make the vehicle more eye-catching. The uniquely styled taillights are highly dynamic, and since the turn signals, taillights, and brake lights extensively utilize striking LED technology, they create a distinctive visual signature.
Yes, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has a hybrid version, and I have driven the S 580 e model. As a long-term owner of this car for several years, I find it quite fuel-efficient. In city driving, the electric mode can cover about 100 kilometers, and it's convenient to charge using a home socket or charging station. The acceleration is smooth and quiet, and the engine automatically switches on the highway without compromising the luxury feel. In terms of maintenance, the battery has a long lifespan with no major issues, requiring only occasional check-ups. Although the price is higher than the gasoline version, considering the fuel savings and lower maintenance costs, it's overall cost-effective. I recommend it to friends with sufficient budgets because it maintains the consistent comfort and quality of Mercedes-Benz.
