Among the 10 limousines plug-in hybrid, the S 450 e Saloon combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (top 2 in segment), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the S 450 e Saloon through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Home-to-office commute up to 60 km in pure electric. Overnight charging is sufficient. 2nd of 10 in Electric WLTP range (95 km).

Less suitable for

Regular long motorway trips. Once the 95 km EV range is used up, the car runs on pure combustion at 12.4 L/100, versus 9,1 L/100 km (HEV segment median, N=8). Beyond ~303 km without intermediate charging, an equivalent segment HEV becomes more cost-efficient.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Mercedes S 450 e Limousine Langversion (1st with 95 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Mercedes AMG S 63 E Performance (1st with 1683 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 95 km pure electric (top 2 in segment)

With a full battery, the S 450 e Saloon drives in pure electric mode for the first 95 km WLTP - placing it 2nd of 10 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Mercedes S 450 e Limousine Langversion (95 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the S 450 e Saloon behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
