2012 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

When the next generation of the Mercedes-Benz flagship S-Class sedan is released in 2012, it will be available exclusively with a hybrid powertrain. According to a source contacted by Autoblog, the 2012 S-Class will be hybrid only, except for any model built by the company’s high-performance AMG division.

The only hybrid S-Class currently sold is the S400 hybrid, which is the lowest priced model in the S-Class line. The S400 hybrid starts at $87,950. The current S-Class hybrid gets 26-mpg on the highway and has 295-hp with its V6 engine and mild hybrid assist system.

Autoblog’s source also claims that the current S-Class hybrid is selling well in America right now, particularly in Hollywood. Apparently many of the celebrities who bought Prius hybrids as statements of their dedication to environmentalism are getting rid of them amid the unintended acceleration reports. Many of those affluent entertainers are buying S-Class hyrbids to replace their Toyotas.

Mercedes F800 Concept with electric drive and fuel cell technology

2012 Mercedes CLS-Class Mercedes F800 Concept

Mercedes-Benz' F800 Style research vehicle is showing the future of premium automobiles from a new perspective, as the five-seat premium sedan combines highly efficient drive technologies with unparalleled safety and convenience features and an emotive design idiom, which interprets current Mercedes-Benz styling in line with the brand's hallmark attribute of refined performance.



The F800 Style has a spacious interior full of intelligent seating, operating, and display concepts. Another unique feature of the large sedan is an all-new multi drive platform, which accommodates electric drives with fuel cells (enabling ranges of almost 375 miles) as well as the use of Plug-in Hybrids that can drive for up to 18 miles solely on electricity. Both variants of the F800 Style therefore make locally emission-free mobility possible at the level of a premium-class automobile, while at the same time being fully suited for everyday driving and providing a dynamic driving experience.
