Overview
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Hybrid Sedan fares well in the fullsize sedan segment. The S-Class hybrid carries a base price of MSRP $91,850 and is offered in a single trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 3.5L V6 engine supported by an electric motor. Mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission, it makes 295 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 18 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 21 MPG on the hybrid variant, making the increase in sticker price worth it. Performance of the S-Class Hybrid also improves here, with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds. Mercedes-Benz offers the same 11 colors for the S-Class Hybrid. The S-Class Hybrid mainly competes against the Lexus LS 600h L and the BMW ActiveHybrid 7.
