Being a PHEV means that it can travel on electric propulsion alone. Thanks to its 28.6-kWh battery pack, the S580e can travel up to 100 km under the WLTP cycle.

Seeing that the Mercedes-Benz S580e is their flagship model (barring the Maybach range), it also gets decked out with all the bells and whistles, including Digital Lights up front, Airmatic suspension, a 12.8-inch vertical infotainment display, and a 760-watt Burmester sound system.
