Mercedes-Benz is expanding the price list of the S-class with new four-wheel drive plug-ins. Both the S-class and the longer S-class Lang are now also available as the S580e 4Matic.
The Mercedes-Benz S-class and the eleven centimeter longer Lang version of that top sedan were already available as a plug-in hybrid S580e. Those rear-wheel drive plug-ins have a 367 hp 3.0 in-line six that works together with a 150 hp electric motor. That gives the S-class with plug a system power of 510 hp and 750 Nm. That plug-in hybrid powertrain can now also be combined with 4Matic four-wheel drive.
The S-class S580e 4Matic and S580e 4Matic Lang benefit from the same combination of petrol and electric motor and both travel about 105 kilometers on pure electric power. Mercedes-Benz is asking €142,005 for the S580e 4Matic and €145,777 for the S580e 4Matic Long. You can also get the S-class as an S580 without -e. That is not a plug-in, but a mild-hybrid powertrain that consists of a 503 hp 4.0 V8 and a 20 hp EQ Boost system.
