Mercedes-Benz releases the starting price of a new addition to the S-Class family in the United States. Starting now, the German company offers the S-Class S 580e 4Matic plug-in hybrid for at least $123,700 with destination and delivery charges included. The electrified flagship joins the other two versions of the S-Class that are currently sold in America, the S 500 4Matic and S 580 4Matic.
Powering the zero-emission capable S-Class is a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with a permanently excited synchronous electric motor. The combustion mill has 367 horsepower (274 kilowatts), while the electric motor adds a further 148 hp (110 kW) to the mix for a combined output of 510 hp (380 kW). A 21.5-kilowatt-hour battery pack provides an electric range of more than 62 miles (100 kilometers) measured by Europe’s WLTP cycle. An EPA estimation isn’t available yet.
