My grandmother got one of these fully loaded back in May and everything the guys said in the video is very accurate. I drove it for a couple weeks while she was away and it’s an amazing car to drive.

[@asr1143]

why your granny would need such a big car like that?

[@jonathanspohrer381]

I have had mine for the past two months. Absolutely outstanding car. 55-60 ev miles in warmer weather. 45-50 ev miles now that winter has arrived. Couldn’t be happier. It is the best transitional power train until ev becomes ubiquitous.

[@TD-zc4zi]

Plug-in hybrids in Canada are perfect dailies and road trip vehicles. We just got a 6seat XC90 Recharge. 60kms of electric every day for school, 3 kids worth of activities and grocery runs. Getting ~2000kms per tank now and thats with a few 200km+ round trips to Toronto and back (including a trip to get my car scanned at TuxMat). I think we can push it to 3000km/tank.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Enjoy your TuxMat!!

[@MrMlbfan6]

That’s what we have been begging for In the USA . With hybrid you can get the best of both worlds but unfortunately auto makers think they know the people nowadays but by the time they realize their models are not selling a bit . C63 is a prime example

[@viccao8431]

3000km on one tank is absolutely crazy and it’s a 3 row??

[@MrMlbfan6]

@@viccao8431 yea

[@TD-zc4zi]

@@viccao8431 Yeah! I had plug-in hybrids written off because the first batch of them had such low electric only distance, but these new ones from Volvo, Mercedes, etc have 60+ km of range which makes them hyper-efficient if your daily needs are less than that or if you can charge during the day.

[@Eldomibori]

The S580 is such a nice ride and a pleasure to drive. So awesome on the highway.

[@WWTormentor]

I just bought one yesterday. It’s black with red/black interior. It’s an amazing car.

[@SDav21]

There is cupholders at the back. The first push opens that phone holder. Push again slightly but not all the way in and it comes out more with the cupholders.

[@aspietoo]

Finally. This is the one for me. 90 km range gives me full electric for 90 percent of my driving and for longer (one hour) highway trips it basically erases half my journey. 45 mpg here we go! A great idea to have a generator motor like the optional one in the bmw i3. But Benz knows its demographic. An occasional visit to the pump won’t bother them one whit!

[@DontEatCream]

Ahh yes, if there's one thing S class owners care about, it's fuel economy

[@senagangbe5804]

This made me envious even as a R232 SL owner. If the GLS/GLE does this, it's gonna be the perfect winter car. Instant buy!

[@DeltaEcho303]

A plug-in hybrid is definitely the way to go if you commute to work and take regular 100+ mile trips on weekends/holidays.

[@Thiswuan]

You are not demonetizing these old chaps of mine!

[@abdusselamalan4278]

Not sure if you guys ever read the comments- I bought a set of Continental tires for my Blackwing; because they are a sponsor of your channel. When I went to the Conti website to get my rebate, there was a long list of questions on what influenced me to buy. There was TV but no KZbin option. I found no where to attribute the purchase to you guys. FYI

[@LOLHICRONO]

while everyone is busy ruining the way their cars look, mercedes just stuck with this. good to see.

[@martinkou3359]

You know🤔 the moving brake pedal thing has been on mercedes cars for a while now, my 2007 CLK does that with normal cruise control, it's especially noticeable going downhill.

Can this merc charge the battery with the ICE like a toyota camry can?

[@Stan_sprinkle]

3:42 that seems like perfect implementation

[@damilolaakanni]

Do they have a similar PHEV system on the E Class? I'm sure not everyone wants something as big as the S Class as a daily driver.

[@webuser2014]

I always wonder if a basic s class could be okish for daily drive or you have to use options to make it bearable to own 😅

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223 is literally like a dream car of my life and is my prefered Mercedes-Benz model if I wish to buy one. Also, when it comes to German full-size luxury sedans, I don't know if I could choose that over the BMW 7 Series G70.

[@seansiew5629]

Well for one based on mechanics advice, specifically S580e, yes they can nice to drive in the short term but this one of the least reliable w223s you can actually have, the 7 series maybe polarising but also lesser issues I suppose as nowadays Mercedes reliability is going down

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

​​@@seansiew5629, by the way, I still trust BMW and I'm going for the 7 Series G70 over the S-Class W223. So, for reliability, I go for the 7 Series G70. For design, I go for the S-Class W223.

[@BroccoCorleone]

Crazy how they made the c300 so nice mini s class This vehical is nice

[@papayacoleman-dq8tw]

See this is why i think the Eqs is obselete because this is a plug in hybrid and the EQS is fully electric so why we cant have a full electric version of the s580 why when you go fully electric it has to be a whole new model like at this point they might as well make EQ a brand

[@Kevin-pd9gy]

There is the Audi A8L, too & possibly the Jaguar XJL if they still build that model You 2 will have to yest the Cyber Truck next

[@Selimabcde]

Can it charge itself while driving or can it be charged only by plug?

[@juanbugatti490]

This looks so much better than anything it competes with and anything full ev Mercedes is producing. Why can’t they just combine the EQS drivetrain with this design? Kind of what BMW is doing with the 7, but way less ugly.

Da Jakob, I like ze plugeen hybreed also. It iz ze perfekt meedle ground. 56 miles on electric only is crazy good, especially for a vehicle as heavy as this. I honestly feel like ALL phev should have a minimum e range of 40 miles. And i do not understand why they dont already do that. I mean, at the risk of sounding uneducated, im gonna go out on a limb and say.... Just put a bigger battery in?? 😂 I dont understand some of these other phev that gives you 10 miles on electric. Like bro wtf is the point. Either just make a traditional non phev parallel hybrid, or if youre gonna give people the option of a plugin, throw a big battery in it.

Hello, you are doing good work, but please do not upload your videos in 24 frames anymore, because it causes too much flickering, frankly your videos should not be less than 50 frames, this will ensure an enjoyable viewing and will not tire the eyes. Frames per second are very important, especially on auto review channels like yours.

[@Hard_7_Iron]

Thats actually a good looking car. And "HYBRID" is the way forward. EV might be a reality one day as infrastructure catches up. But if you like your freedom as a human, you have to keep gasoline or diesel around or governments will control your movements. Just look around in recent lockdowns. There was nothing governments didn't try to restrict your movements. Be wise....choose wisely.

[@xwarped83]

Did you actually think before posting this? I imagine you have a phone, if the gov’t wanted to track your movement, that’s what they would use to track you. Also, plenty of gasoline cars already have internet available, that’s another way to track your movement. The recent lockdowns because of the pandemic? You sound like the person that’s scared of his own shadow.
