Which German automaker offers the S 500 e plug-in hybrid sedan?

Mercedes-Benz offers the S 500 e plug-in hybrid sedan.

The model belongs to the W222 generation of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and was produced from 2014 to 2017. In some markets, closely related versions used the designation S 550 e, reflecting regional naming conventions rather than a different manufacturer.

The S 500 e paired a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with an electric motor and an externally rechargeable 8.7 kWh battery. It provided several driving modes, including HYBRID, E-MODE, E-SAVE, and CHARGE, allowing the driver or control system to prioritize electric driving, preserve battery charge, or replenish it while moving.

A frequent mix-up is confusing the S 500 e with the regular S 500, which used a conventional gasoline powertrain in that generation. Volkswagen, Audi, and BMW also make plug-in hybrids, but none is the automaker behind this S-Class variant.
