What is a plug-in hybrid model
If you’re in the market for a low-emission vehicle, you’ve probably heard about the recent developments in the world of hybrids. One of the more popular options in this segment is the plug-in hybrid model (much like the C350). A plug-in hybrid gives drivers the advantage of an electric vehicle, combined with fuel-power. When the two are combined, less fuel is needed to run the vehicle. The owner of a plug-in hybrid also has the option to drive purely on the electric motor for a set amount of miles (if needed). The electric battery can be restored to full charge, once a drive connects it to a power source.
2016 Mercedes-Benz C350 Plug-in engine and features
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz C350 Plug-in Hybrid gives drivers an impressive output of 275-horsepower, which may not be expected from a partially-electric vehicle. True to the Mercedes-Benz’ luxurious reputation, the vehicle offers refined technology features, like a Head-up Display, Attention Assist and Collision Prevention Assist Plus. As we stated in the section above, a plug-in hybrid can travel on only electricity. The new C350 has an electric range of 18.6 miles, before it needs to be recharged (E-Mode). Other modes include: Hybrid, E-Save and Charge. So, depending on what the driver needs, he/she can choose the appropriate setting.
