As the automobile industry, including Mercedes-Benz, pushes further and further towards electric vehicles, the plug-in hybrid powertrain represents the perfect innovative stepping stone. Plug-in hybrid technology offers drivers the best of both electric and combustion technologies. In the city, drivers can utilize all-electric battery power, and on long trips, the combustion engine can effectively help out for extended range. Mercedes-Benz, perhaps unsurprisingly, is on the cutting edge of this technology, and with the new EQ Power vehicles, Mercedes-Benz is proud to offer six plug-in hybrid models.

EQ – which standard for ‘Electric Intelligence’ – is at the center of the plug-in hybrid technology. There are six unique models from Mercedes-Benz that feature a plug-in hybrid powertrain, and each model offers COMFORT, ECO and INDIVIDUAL drive modes that control the consumption and power of the vehicle. AIRMATIC models feature two additional drive modes: SPORT and SPORT+.
In addition to driving modes, EQ POWER vehicles feature four operating modes: Hybrid, E-MODE, E-SAVE and CHARGE. With the COMAND system, you can enter your destination and your vehicle will develop the best utilization of energy automatically, ensuring your battery is as charged as possible when entering a city, so you can drive through the city in all-electric mode.
