More power, less consumption.
Our EQ Power models with plug-in hybrid drive link the best of both worlds: dynamism and efficiency of an electric motor with the range of a combustion engine. You can move about fully electrically in city traffic, recharge the vehicle at home as well as at public charging stations and benefit from the usual convenience of short tank stops on long journeys.

"We all have different demands on our cars. Is there a plug-in hybrid that accurately matches my demands?"
Certainly. Regardless of whether you exclusively use your plug-in hybrid within city limits or are forced to commute longer distances. Our large fleet will offer the right model for any demands.

The C 300 e Saloon.
The C 300 e Saloon.
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.
At 2.0 litres standard consumption per 100 km – C 300 e Saloon is one of the most efficient C-Class models. Nevertheless, there is plenty of dynamism: with a system output of 235 kW (320 hp) and a maximum torque of 700 Nm the C 300 e Saloon races from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds. The combustion engine alone generates 211 hp and 350 Nm. The electric motor with an output of 90 kW and 440 Nm guarantees extra acceleration power. The electric power unit is able to exclusively drive the vehicle for a distance of 54 kilometres within city limits.
Externally recharging the high-voltage battery is as quick as it is straight forward (approximately 1.5 hours via wallbox/charging station or approximately 3 hours at a domestic mains socket). The vehicle's pre-entry climate control makes sure you feel good and the C 300 e Saloon demonstrates its everyday suitability with a boot capacity of 300 litres, an impressive value for a plug-in hybrid.

The E 300 e Saloon
The E 300 e Saloon
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.

Mercedes-Benz EQ Power: plug-in hybrid drive.
Charging socket
The high-voltage lithium-ion battery can be charged externally via a charging socket on the right-hand side of the rear bumper.
Thanks to an intelligent on-board charging system, you can charge the battery through a wallbox, through a normal domestic socket or at one of the public charging points that are becoming an increasingly common sight.
HV lithium-ion battery
Depending on the model, a fully charged battery covers a
fully electric range of over 30 km with zero local emissions.
Hybrid transmission including electric motor
The electric motor and an additional decoupler between the combustion engine and electric motor are completely integrated into the hybrid head of the standard-specification 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission.
Internal combustion engine
Depending on the model, four- or six-cylinder spark-ignition engines are combined with hybrid modules and batteries with different performance ratings.
If required, the output of the combustion engine is supported by the electric motor – for an extra boost when accelerating. The result is performance that combines driving pleasure and comfort with minimal consumption and low emissions.
Recuperative brake system
Recuperation allows energy to be recovered when decelerating and braking.
The greatest potential for consumption reduction in hybrid drive systems lies in the maximisation of energy recovery when decelerating and braking. When you press down on the brake pedal, the electric motor initially takes on the task of decelerating the vehicle, acting as an alternator.
Power consumption of the E-Class 300 e in combined test cycle: 16.8 kWh/100 km ; combined fuel consumption: 2.1 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 116 g/km

Drive modes in the plug-in hybrid.
Drive modes in the plug-in hybrid.
Intelligent drive management automatically selects the ideal combination of combustion engine and electric motor to generate energy as efficiently as possible and achieve a maximum range. However, you can also individually switch between drive modes.
Depending on the drive program, four drive modes are available:
Hybrid: all hybrid functions such as electric mode, boost and recuperation are available and are automatically deployed according to the driving situation and the route to ensure the lowest possible consumption.
E-MODE: for driving on electric power only – for example in city centres or because the HV lithium-ion battery is sufficiently charged for the remainder of the route.
E-SAVE: the charge level of the HV lithium-ion battery is maintained – for driving on electric power only at a later point in the journey. Electric mode is therefore only available to a limited extent.
CHARGE: charges the HV lithium-ion battery via the combustion engine during the journey. Electric mode is not available here.
Brake to gain: energy.
Brake to gain: energy.
The following four recuperation levels are available:
D+: Overrun mode, no recuperation
D: Moderate recuperation
D–: High recuperation
DAuto: recuperation depends on the traffic situation
In so-called overrun mode the engine is entirely switched off and disengaged to save even more energy. The vehicle continues to roll without any friction loss caused by the combustion engine.
Especially efficient energy recovery, with a subsequently greater driving range, is made possible by the optionally available radar-based regenerative braking system. The system uses the data from the radar sensors of COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS to either increase or fully reduce energy recovery and therefore the deceleration, as required.
