Overview

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Hybrid Sedan fares well in the midsize sedan segment. Adding $5,300 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the E-Class Hybrid Sedan carries a base price of MSRP $57,100 and is offered in just one trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 3.5L V6 engine supported by a 20kW electric motor. Mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission, it makes 302 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 23 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 26 MPG on the hybrid variant, which is way more powerful than the standard variant. However, the performance of the E-class Hybrid improves here, with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds. Mercedes offers the same 12 colors for the E-class hybrid. The E-class Hybrid mainly competes against the BMW ActiveHybrid 5 Sedan, the Lexus GS 450h Sedan, and the Infiniti Q70 Hybrid

Buying Advice

The Mercedes-Benz E400 hybrid ups the ante of the hybrid luxury car segment by offering the performance of a sports car without compromising the fuel economy. Offered in just single trim, Mercedes throws in truckload options. Nonetheless, we recommend some standout opulent features like the Bang & Olufsen audio system, twin iPad docks behind the front headrests, and the Lighting package which adds LED headlights along with automatic high-beam headlight control.
