The new Mercedes-Benz S 560 e is the new name of efficient luxury. The third generation of the Mercedes plug-in hybrid is set to launch with the face of the new S 560 e this month with the higher electric performance and faster charging times.

Mercedes-Benz is preparing for an emission-free future. The high-class sedan will be exclusively available with a long wheelbase, benefiting from the precision and efficiency of the 9G-TRONIC plug-in hybrid transmission. There comes onboard a new and smaller lithium-ion battery, with a capacity of 37 Ah (22 Ah for the previous generation) is capable of storing more energy and it that provides an all-electric range of approximately 50 kilometers.

The battery is manufactured by the DAIMLER-owned subsidiary Deutsche ACCUMOTIVE. The DC/DC convertor has been transferred from the luggage compartment into the power electronics housing. A water-cooled on-board charger of 7.4 kW assists the battery, making charging from 10 to 100% possible in about 1.5 hours when the car is connected to a Wallbox. It takes five hours to charge it from a conventional domestic power socket.

The hybrid system puts together a V6 petrol engine of 367 horsepower (270 kW) with 90 kW of EQ Power for a total output of 350 kW.
