Is this the best plug-in hybrid you can buy at the moment? Let me know in the comments!

I have bought the T Model (Stationwagon = more boot space). It's week 1, but we are LOVING it so far. We got the massage seats too, and they are a GAME changer.

[bugraaltun]

You are definitely the best Car review channel in youtube, looking forward to your new videos :)

[thearousedeunuch]

7:08 The real joke is the amount of time it took for the gas tank to depressurize. :)
Great POV, by the way.

[arijeanz]

oh i really hate that fuel tank decompression!! is that normal for hybrids? why is it like that? can you at least decompress while on the road, for example on the way to the gas station?

[vgspotting]

I own an C300e put 5k miles on it and its amazing car enough power to overtake people and very comfortabel with the airsupsension on the rear axle

[joelsilva]

The intro sound is so good, it reminded me of Dolby Atmos

[macboy]

Just got my c300e estate for a week now and indeed an amazing car! Yesterday I drove from Antwerp to Zeebrugge, all electric, the full 97km (highway at 14 dg celcius and 115km/h).

2 downsides: trunk space is very limited and you feel this is a heavy car.

If you look for amazing comfort, this is what you need.
If you look for +300 HP to have fun, look further.

Really nice video! But what hurts me very much is, that you clearly didn't drive the engine warm! When you giv full throttle at 4:42 you can see that in the engine data menu! Also with the modern combustion engines it's always better/needed to drive the engine warm!

[VincentDP]

A superb presentation video. Well done.

[___OmerAJ___]

great, love it, how much range with full battery and full tank?

[S-hw]

4:43 damn the engine was cold and you rev the shit out of it 😂😂

[therealinterlaced]

I just wish we have plug-in hybrid Mercedes models for the U.S. market. Same especially for the new S-Class..

[avalanche]

Are these hybrid engines more costly to service and maintain? Also it seems the battery needs to be replaced after around 100k km, which would be very costly, right?

[makatron]

This is just perfect for urban use and maybe filling up the tank every 4 months. My avg daily driving it's around 30km so this would be an easy 3 day electric car and of course home charging so you're always full.

[timifie]

Cool video!
The grill with the Mercedes logo is a very cool detail. But still fake exaust and air vents, to bad.
When the decompression is fixed, does it just go faster or is not even a thing ? Do you know that?

[Ramzes]

I have never heared about decompressing a fuel tank before. Is this relating to plug-in hybrids only or to petrol ones too? Why is this happening?

[callmekimberly]

great review, are you going to take a look at the nissan ariya?

[jemptus]

Hi I bought the same in Break version - new from the offcial dealer in Brussels and already had a Battery replaced after 2000 km.
Can you share what the effective autonomy of the electrical battery is during winter? Mine only shows 67km outside weather is obviously nearby 0C but still this worries me…
Thanks for the info

[Thulebeez]

WOW PHEV ev range are improving can do 100km range impressive
