\"Mercedes-Benz<\/p>\n

Don’t keep looking forward to large luxury sedans with high-output V8 engines. According to AutoCar<\/em>, one of the most popular large luxury sedans, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, will be offered with a plug-in hybrid variant in its next redesign. Mercedes-Benz also expects to roll out the plug-in technology across the rest of its lineup.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes a lot of sense to bundle the high-price tech option to the sort of customers willing to pay for this sort of thing,\u201d said Mercedes R&D boss Thomas Weber.<\/p>\n

Insiders say that with the help of weight reduction and aerodynamic improvements, the next-generation plug-in S-Class sedan can return an estimated 67 mpg.<\/p>\n

Weber says not to expect a pure electric-model but a model with a gasoline engine for extended range traveling.\u00a0\u201cIt could be possible, but no,\u201d he said. \u201cOur customers expect a certain range and a level of comfort, safety and space; such things lead to a certain weight and that won\u2019t mean a good [battery] range.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz showed its S500 Hybrid Concept<\/a>, a plug-in hybrid version of the S-Class that was powered by a V6 gasoline powered engine mated to a lithium-ion battery pack with a storage capacity of more than 10 kWh. A full charge of the electric-motor allowed the sedan to travel 19 miles on battery power alone.<\/p>\n
