Being kind to the environment and wanting to use less fossil fuels doesn’t mean you have to give up on luxury. Just look at the Mercedes-Benz S 580e plug-in-hybrid, which edmunds.com just named its #1 Luxury Hybrid model.
In naming it the top Luxury Hybrid, Edmunds said: “If you’re considering the S-Class, then you should be looking at the S 580e plug-in hybrid. Mercedes-Benz took what was already one of the best luxury sedans on the road and made it quicker, more efficient and … less expensive…”
This plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) luxury sedan has it all: good looks, lots of room for passengers, and great fuel economy, thanks to its all-electric range of 46 miles. For most people, that’s plenty of non-gas-powered miles to do around-town errands and commuting. And the Mercedes-Benz S 580e can be charged up in just 2.5 hours on a home-installed 240V charger, or powered to 80% in just 20 minutes on a DC fast charger.
The S 580e 4MATIC® Sedan has all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder engine that provides combined gas/electric 510 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. It seats five adults in typically Mercedes-Benz comfort and luxury. In gas-powered mode, it gets an EPA-rated 23 mpg combined. Off the line, it goes zero-60 mph in 5.1 or 4.3 seconds, depending on whether you choose the Luxury Line or AMG® Line.
The S 580 e makes driving a comfortable joy. The driver and front passenger both enjoy standard 12–way power seats with Nappa leather upholstery; the driver’s seat has power-adjustable lumbar support. Both have multi-level heating and ventilation. Massaging is standard.
The technology is impressive, with Mercedes-Benz’s MBUX Interior Assistant and including a 12.8” infotainment display, 15 premium Burmester speakers, surround sound, satellite radio with six months of included service, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and wireless charging.
Adaptive cruise control is standard, as are automatic parking assist, emergency braking preparation and emergency braking assist, and adaptive and self-leveling headlights.

There are also a raft of packages and interior options so you can create the perfect Mercedes-Benz S 580e of your dreams.
