MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Plug-In Hybrid that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.

1. 2024 Mercedes-Benz S580e 4MATIC (3.0T Plug-In Hybrid AWD)

• Base Price: $127,750
• EV Range: 46 mi
• MPG Combined: 23
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 3.0-liter inline-6
• Aspiration: Turbocharged
• Transmission: 9-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 503 
• Torque: 553 lb⁠-⁠ft
• 0-60: 4.8 sec
• Weight: 5,501 lbs
• Length: 208.2 in

The S580e plug-in hybrid's parlor trick is its impressive all-electric range, which is EPA-estimated at 46 miles. There are compromises, however, including about 800 extra pounds of complexity and a trunk that's smaller by a third.

2. 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG S63 E Performance (4.0T Plug-In Hybrid AWD)

• Base Price: $182,250
• EV Range: 17 mi
• MPG Combined: N/A
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 4.0-liter V8
• Aspiration: Turbocharged
• Transmission: 9-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 791 
• Torque: 1,055 lb⁠-⁠ft
• 0-60: 3.3 sec
• Weight: 5,720 lbs
• Length: 208.2 in

Now available only as a plug-in hybrid, the AMG S63 comes up way short of its lesser S580e sibling in terms of all-electric range. So what's the point of this barge? Power, of course — lots of it, and even more torque. There's also AMG's excellent twin-turbo V8 stuffed in there amongst the hybrid hardware, so you get a little V8 rumble that's absent in the six-cylinder S580e.
