Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2021 new
- 3 years ago
This week, Mercedes-Benz took the covers off the latest-generation 2021 S-Class and in the process, detailed a plethora of variants that will be offered.
One variant not discussed so much detail is the Mercedes-Benz S580e, a plug-in hybrid model that will be sold in European markets. A North American debut isn’t on the table yet, with a Mercedes USA spokesperson telling CNET that the company hasn’t “communicated anything regarding S-Class plug-in hybrids variants for the US at this time.”
Driving this model is the same turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine fitted on the S500 but it now operates alongside a gearbox-mounted electric motor and a 28 kWh battery pack making for a combined 510 hp.
An added advantage of the S580e comes in the form of 62 miles (100 km) over driving on battery power alone, as per the European WLTP test cycle.
The first examples of the new Mercedes S-Class are set to hit U.S. shores in the first quarter of 2021. In addition to the aforementioned S580 model with the twin-turbo V8, U.S. customers will also be offered an S500 variant with a turbocharged inline-six rated at 429 hp and 384 lb-ft (521 Nm).
