Their technology enables ideal efficiency levels, impressive dynamism and thanks to pre-entry climate control, it provides previously unknown levels of comfort. All this while maintaining the C-Class's typical everyday suitability.

Under 2.5 litres standard consumption per 100 km<p>Under real driving conditions, there may be deviations from the certified standard values. The actual values are influenced by numerous individual factors, e.g. the driver's driving style, environmental conditions and the conditions of the route.</p> – C 350 e Saloon and C 350 e Estate are the most efficient C-Class models. Nevertheless, there is plenty of dynamism: with a system output of 205 kW (279 hp) and a maximum torque of 600 Nm the C 350 e Saloon races from 0 to 100 km/h in under 6.0 seconds. The combustion engine alone generates 155 kW and 350 Nm. The electric motor with an output of 60 kW and 340 Nm guarantees extra acceleration power. The electric power unit is able to exclusively drive the vehicle for a distance of 31 kilometres<p>Under real driving conditions, there may be deviations from the certified standard values. The actual values are influenced by numerous individual factors, e.g. the driver's driving style, environmental conditions and the conditions of the route.</p> within city limits.

Externally recharging the high-voltage battery is as quick as it is straight forward (approximately 90 min via wallbox/charging station or approximately 180 min at a domestic mains socket). The vehicle's pre-entry climate control makes sure you feel good and the C 350 e Saloon demonstrates its everyday suitability with a boot capacity of 335 litres, an impressive value for a plug-in hybrid.

The first E-Class with plug-in hybrid technology: the E 300 e impressively merges agile handling characteristics with zero local emissions. Thanks to its combined drive system featuring combustion engine and electric motor, it is a pioneer in its vehicle class.

The hybrid drive consists of a 4-cylinder petrol engine generating 155 kW (211 hp) and a maximum of 350 Nm. It is supported by an electric motor with 90 kW (122 hp) and a maximum of 440Nm. Ideal for cities: the E 300 e can cover a distance of up to 50 km fully electrically, thus producing zero local emissions. The Boost function provides extra power. It tangibly generates more agility thanks to additional torque provided by the electric motor.

The E 300 e also recharges quickly: the high-voltage battery regains full capacity after 1.5 hours at a wallbox and in up to 3 hours at a domestic mains socket. Its intelligent full hybrid drive additionally supports drivers in driving more efficiently. This results in an ideal range and zero local emissions where we need it most.
