Mercedes believes that plug-in hybrids offer their customers the best of both worlds, giving them the option in the city to drive in all-electric mode, while on long journeys they benefit from the combustion engine’s range. In addition, hybridization makes the combustion engine more efficient and gives the cars interesting dynamics.
