It's seldom the case where carmakers are able to find a sweet spot that's speedy, stylish and stingy in their hybrid vehicles but it seems Mercedes-Benz has succeeded in this aspect. The S-Class is engineered in such a way that it can move from a standstill with spectacular smoothness and ferocious fervour without a slightest hint of switch between pure electric to gasoline. Even though we managed close to 6km/L during our test drive (far from its claimed figure of 15.8km/L), we cannot deny that this car does what it's supposed to do superbly.

» VERDICT
Competing against the Lexus LS600h Hybrid and the BMW ActiveHybrid 7, the new S-Class Hybrid is Mercedes-Benz's largest and grandest hybrid model in its range. Serving as the flagship model for Mercedes the S-Class has debuted many of the company's latest innovations, including drivetrain technologies, comfort upgrades as well as safety systems. And for the latest S-Class, it's no different.
Looking more balanced and hunkered in a way its predecessor never accomplished before, the design team have brought the S-Class to a new realm of possibility.
Technological highlights include the headlamps; for starters, have over 110 LEDs while the taillights consist of some 70 LEDs (excluding rear fog lamps) on the outside. Inside, the car is filled with some 300 LEDs, including the strips of coloured ambient lighting that can glow in a choice of six cosy colours. Of course, like all S-Classes before, the car is bathed in an abundance of soft leather that pampers the occupants. Other than the lights and the classy ambience, they will also notice the two high-resolution 12.3-inch TFT colour displays on the dashboard.
With a maximum output of 306 horses and 370Nm of torque, the S-Class is engineered in such a way that it can move from a standstill with spectacular smoothness and ferocious fervour without a slightest hint of switch between pure electric to gasoline. On the go, intrusiveness from the outside world is down to bare minimum even though it runs 19-inch wheels, thanks to the wonderfully calibrated. Coupled with an accurate steering wheel and good body control, Mercedes has endowed this car with both dynamism and comfort.
While everyone says that the S-Class is more enjoyable at the back, we reckon otherwise. With its ground-breaking technologies, it almost feels like the S-Class is looking out for your well-being in all directions.
