MotorWeek Road Test: 2010 Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid

[Annihilator1111]

the 2005-present Mercedes-Benz S-Class is assembled in

Sindelfingen, Germany

Toluca, Mexico

6th of October City, Egypt

Pekan, Malaysia

[PhokKai]

The only good S class is the S600.

[TheTf2pro]

@PhokKai agreed, my dad just got one 2 days ago

[akelodmc]

it would do better with weight savings and a FULL electric drive mode...

but some people don't understand that some hybrids aren't gonna pull Prius numbers

because they're hybrids not green cars a hybrid is a cross between two things (electric and gasoline in this case) and just because its a hybrid doesn't mean its gonna pull spectacular numbers...

[loppar3]

Thinking of buying the S400 H short version really like the way it looks. But is this better than a Volkswagen Phaeton or Audi A8?

[jrDJREMIX]

I HOPE THIS HYBRID CAR IS GOOD RACING OTHER CARS CAUSE IF IT LOOSE DAMMMMM

[zor0825]

another TAX CREDIT for the RICH!

(",)

[uberenthusiasts]

The most beautiful sedan in the world...

[sdk1991zzang]

This car is a complete failure from mercedes. :( not much better than the s550 in mpg but a lot worse in 0-60. An s550 is a better choice because the person who can afford an s models can sacrifice 1mpg or two.

[georgegrasser]

"Das Beste Oder Nichts" . This one should have been Oder Nichts.

[coandcaiv]

reminds me so much of a hyundai genesis

[mcarthurwallace]

@coandcaiv Seeing how the mercedes S Klasse has been around for over 50 years, I think the cheap imitation genesis reminds you of a S Klasse. That's what asian car companies are best at! Ripping other cars off. The ls did it in the 90's, The genesis and there's also a Rolls phantom rip off... You've got it backwards kid

[Blitz3086]

@mcarthurwallace I got into argument about how the Japanese rip of ideas from the Germans, its nice to hear from someone else for a change.

[Brawlhero]

@coandcaiv the only way that this will remind u of a hundai is because of the front huh? but hundai stole the front design from mercedes benz, and all of their engine parts are basically an unamed bosch kind of company, all parts for them are made in germany btw mercedes ftw.

[Jon13bur]

You know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Leave gas engines alone.

[kthankxbye]

Meh.

[tinleo333]

cadillaC learn

[tinleo333]

yea less money for the oil company very good.

[crazyfabio1]

Mercedes s-class is pioneer

[Steaktacular]

They could have just switched the v8 to a v6 and got the same if not better results. With this boat you'd be paying for it to say "hybrid" other than that there is no environmental or economical value in this car.

[pizzaduder]

This car has a V6 mated to an electric motor.

[uberenthusiasts]

That is a crazy comment, as no one really buys an S-Class for "economical or envronmental value". Buy a Prius for that BS.

[evilchild85]

diesel thats all i have to say stupid hybrids dont cut it

[davewhodavedunn]

wow, it only get's 19 mpg? what a shitty hybrid...no thanks, hybrids are not the answer's anyways, and either are electric car's. HYDROGEN is the answer!

[wildbloodydragon]

@davewhodavedunn Good luck making the pumps.

[davewhodavedunn]

thats not for me to do, but that is the answer!

[wildbloodydragon]

Not really. More like the problem itself.

It's not just building them. It's transporting, storing and selling liquid hydrogen.

Even had a freezer burn? Imagine that 100 times worse, on your hand. That's what happens if you touch liquid hydrogen.

[Blitz3086]

@davewhodavedunn

I agree, but 17% increase in efficiency is pretty good.

[ViperVenomACR]

@davewhodavedunn i am with u man HYDROGEN is the best especially if it is used to power a conventional piston driven engine that makes noise not some shitty electric engine

[dakidakov]

@davewhodavedunn FINALLY.... A sensible person. Only if everyone were like that. Hybrids are a waste of resources. They are not made to be green... They are made to make their owner ''LOOK'' green. Hydrogen all the way. :)

[lacustagingasa]

@davewhodavedunn I agree ! but the hydrogen tehnology is not very safe, maybe in 10-20 years

[wilsob26]

@davewhodavedunn its heavy as fuck... 19mpg isnt bad for 4500lbs+

[rock3tcat]

@davewhodavedunn

You look like someone who knows about what he's talking about... xD

[T966ER]

@davewhodavedunn It's a whole lot better compared to the standard S550

[fanmusclecars]

Bring out a hydrogen powdered S-Class Damilar.

[seroyer2]

where are you going to get your hydrogen from. this is the problem with hydorgen cars, but I do agree we need to get on the hydrogen thing.

[fanmusclecars]

Something tells me this won't sell. Mercedes should make a v8 hybrid.

[MrGSNfan]

@fanmusclecars Well, it is the cheapest S-class.

[quatlen]

I think the updated tail lamps are extraordinary looking.
