CHARGED WITH
PROGR ESS
Since the invention of the automobile, the advancement
of human mobility has been more than a mission to
Mercedes-Benz. It’s an ongoing, ever-growing commitment.
Over 100 fuel-cell vehicles are
in worldwide customer use,
ranging from small cars to city
buses. They’ll travel more than
2.8 million emission-free miles.
The energy crisis motivates the

“Electrique” elegance.
Every Mercedes-Benz automobile has its roots in the 1886 patent
awarded to Karl Benz for the first car. But it’s reaching for the blue
sky, with an ever-growing passion for progress, that has kept that
family tree strong. And while more than 80,000 patents may impart
some bragging rights, that’s not what keeps an automaker at the
forefront of innovation. What drives Mercedes-Benz engineers are
the people who drive Mercedes-Benz automobiles. Satisfying their
needs. Inspiring their dreams. And above all, protecting what they
hold most dear: their future. From the safety of the passengers they
carry to the stewardship of the planet they drive upon, MercedesBenz innovation does not come merely from the desire to be first.
It’s driven by a sense of responsibility to see the world honestly,
foresee how it could be better, and forge the way there. Progress is
the difference between “could” and “can.” And leadership is when
there’s no difference whatsoever between “should” and “does.”
A new generation of batteryelectric vehicles is underway
at Mercedes-Benz. SUV and
commercial van concepts
preview the very near future.
Just 20 years after inventing
the car, Daimler markets its
Mercedes-Electrique as “the
safest, quietest and most
modern electric town car.”
Mercedes-Benz has been advancing
alternative fuels for over a century.

ENERGIZING THE FUTURE
A B AT T E R Y
OF ANSWERS
The single most defining characteristic of an innovation leader is being far from single-minded.
An extraordinary breadth of achievements must be brought to life with unmatched depth. It’s why
Mercedes-Benz is electrifying the future in ways that extend far beyond the automobile itself.
There’s only one way for an automaker to possess a rich
heritage — and it’s not by living in the past. The path to
having a meaningful history is to keep making history.
Since inventing the car, the company that later merged
with Daimler to become Mercedes-Benz has been doing
one thing: continually reinventing it. And while that one
thing is actually hundreds of thousands of ideas, trials,
breakthroughs and improvements, they all add up to a
singular, neverending trajectory: making driving better.
The passion for the open road is just one factor in the
complex equation of personal transportation. And for
more than 130 years, it’s likely that no automaker has
explored, experimented and excelled in more arenas
of motoring — from safety firsts to racing wins — than
Mercedes-Benz. Even more significant is how many
Mercedes-Benz innovations have gone on to become
the standard that’s used by the entire industry: Safety
advancements from crumple zones to stability control.
Comforts like ambient lighting and ventilated seats. And
performance firsts from fuel injection to the lithium-ion
hybrid battery. And can you name another brand that’s
put gasoline, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, fuel-cell and
battery- electric vehicles into its customers’ driveways?
In the next few years, Mercedes-Benz will launch a line
of all-electric vehicles that will advance the automobile
by delivering the next generation not only of power, but of
safety, luxury and performance, too. In addition, Daimler
is deeply invested in developing new ways that people
will generate, store and dispense the energy to fuel them.
And once again, innovation will advance the heritage of
Mercedes-Benz, and accelerate the future of mobility.
The pathway to earning every patent, trophy and loyal
customer starts with one question: “How can we make
driving better?” No matter how many times MercedesBenz engineers answer it, they’ll never stop asking it.
ENERGY STARS
MORE THAN A
MERCEDES -BENZ
Beyond the virtues that make every Mercedes-Benz an industry standout, the electrified models make
the Star shine with a brilliance all their own. With intelligent technologies, they can interpret the traffic,
analyze the terrain, and even inform the driver’s right foot, to optimize driving range and efficiency.
From safety to performance to comfort, the advanced
engineering of a Mercedes-Benz is its signature virtue.
The intelligent technology in the plug-in hybrid models
and all- electric B 250e makes them even more virtuous.
Each of the hybrids features an electric motor that can
efficiently enhance the gasoline engine’s response with
an instant boost of torque. They can also cover many
commutes1 on battery power alone, or team up to deliver
from 50 to 63 MPGe on the highway.2 The compact
lithium-ion battery — the size of an ordinary car battery —
can be fully charged in as little as 2.5 hours at a public
charging station, or by the gas engine while you drive.1
Radar-based Regenerative Braking — standard on all the
hybrids and a B 250e option — monitors your distance to
traffic ahead, to help recapture energy as you slow down
and use it to charge the battery. Along with four driving
modes from pure-electric to saving the battery for later,
the hybrids can apply navigation* data to optimize the
use of gas and electric power on a trip. Even if you don’t
input a route, it analyzes the topography up to four miles
ahead. And when driving a C 350e or S 550e on battery
power, a “haptic” accelerator pedal can let you know by
feel when you can coast, or how to avoid engaging the
gas engine. It all adds up to more range from less gas.
*Optional or not available on some models. Please see back of brochure.
STAR TREATMENT
NOTH I NG L E SS THAN
A MERCEDES - BENZ
Why would you choose a Mercedes-Benz over any other luxury
hybrid? The same reasons you’d choose any Mercedes-Benz: an
unmatched balance of finely crafted luxury and first-of-its-kind
innovation. From hand-finished wood* and richly tailored seating
to industry-advancing entertainment and driver assists, there
are rewards for all your senses. And from groundbreaking safety
to corner-hugging handling to in-car Internet, no other hybrid
sedan or SUV can make you feel so protected or connected.
Simply put, the unparalleled experience of driving a MercedesBenz is undiminished by its added efficiency. Lower emissions
in no way reduce the emotions it imparts via its driver seat. In
fact, in many ways you get more: Each model has greater total
gas-electric horsepower and torque than its class competitors.
They can whisk you away with extra-silken smoothness and an
uncanny sensation of quiet strength. The comfort of their cabins
can be ready upon your arrival — warmed in winter or cooled off
after parking in the sun — thanks to pre-entry climate control via
the car’s smartphone app.3 And each model features upgrades
of its own, from air suspension to additional luxuries — as well as
distinctive “Hybrid Blue” accents in its headlamps and brakes.
*Optional or not available on some models. Please see back of brochure.
87 MILES OF RANGE
100% MERCEDES-BENZ
Is a pure electric vehicle (EV) a good fit for you? A few simple
questions will give you an idea. First, how far do you drive on
a daily basis? The high-performance 28-kWh battery pack of
the B 250e can take you up to 87 miles on a full charge.1 For
work, school, shopping — or maybe all three — that might be
more than enough. Next, where will you charge it? Lots of
public places offer charging stations, and you can plug it in
at home (read more below). What happens when you need to
go farther? The answer to that might make a B 250e an ideal
second car, or maybe it makes sense to rent a car for the
annual vacation — and stay gasoline-free the rest of the year.
Aside from its zero tailpipe emissions, you’re likely to find a
B 250e to be surprisingly familiar. From its clear gauges and
rich cabin materials to its responsive handling, it drives like
a true Mercedes-Benz — because it is one. Solid, stable and
secure, its standard safety advances include the radar-based
forward collision mitigation of Active Brake Assist,4 as well
as ATTENTION ASSIST® to help detect a drowsy driver.5 Like
its gas-powered siblings, it wears its science on the inside.
Its styling is sporty and elegant, from grille to LED taillamps.
And its clever shape and under-floor battery pack maximize
inner space, without looking like it came from outer space.
THE NO - EMISSION, A L L - EL ECTR IC B 250e
EASY RECHARGING
SELF-REGENERATING
You “refuel” your B 250e by plugging it in — at home, the
mall, the office, airport parking decks, or many other places.
The standardized charging port is easy to use, and you can
check its progress on the car’s smartphone app.3 Most public
charging stations can fully charge the battery in 3.5 hours,
or do a 60-mile “top-up” in just two hours. At home or where
a charging station isn’t nearby, you can use an ordinary 120volt household outlet. Your local power utility may even offer
incentives for installing a faster 240-volt home charger.6 And
the standard RANGE PLUS Package lets you add 15 more miles
to a charge if you know you’ll be needing to go a little farther.1
Just like a gasoline engine, an EV uses energy to accelerate,
even if it does so more smoothly and quietly than you may be
used to. With 251 lb-ft of torque on tap from a standstill, the
sporty B 250e can rush to 60 mph in a 7.9-second whisper.7
But unlike a gasoline car, it can earn some “fuel” back as you
decelerate. Its regenerative braking feature captures energy
at the wheels and sends it back to recharge the battery. An
industry-first option uses radar to watch traffic ahead, then
adapts the brakes to optimize energy recuperation, to help
you get more miles from a charge. Paddles on the steering
wheel let you step it up manually too, a lot like downshifting.8
U N PLUG IT, AND IT R ECH A RGE S YOU
FLEXIBLE CABIN
POWERFUL APP
If all-electric driving is a good fit for your driving style, you’ll
find the B 250e is also an especially good fit for your lifestyle.
Its battery packs nest under the cabin in a dedicated “energy
space,” maximizing the room for people and their gear. Five
adults can ride comfortably in the cabin. The shapely power
front seats include standard memory, and are available with
soothing heating and supple, hand-fitted leather upholstery
in Black, Nut Brown or Cranberry Red. The rear seats feature
a folding center armrest with a pass-through for long items,
or you can fold them down in a 60/40 split to create up to
51.4 cu ft of carpeted cargo space — as much as some SUVs.9
Whether it’s plugged in or unplugged, Mercedes me makes it
easy to stay connected to your B 250e.3 Five years of mbrace®
Connect services are standard, including a smartphone app
with remote vehicle features. The touch of a button in the
app can also bring you to the My Mercedes Electric Vehicle
Homepage, with features specially tailored for EV life. You
can view your car’s charge status, map its driving range,
locate charging stations and more, all from the Chrome™ or
Safari® Web browser on your phone. You can also preheat or
cool the cabin while the car is plugged in, to help conserve
your driving range. Learn more at MBUSA.com/mercedesme

Three plug-in hybrids — a sporty C-Class sedan, versatile GLE
SUV and sumptuous S-Class sedan — combine turbocharged
gas-engine thrills with the additional advantages of electric
driving. Each of them multiplies brainpower and horsepower
to enhance both performance and efficiency. With well over
400 lb-ft of torque, all three hybrids accelerate swiftly.7 Two
of them are even quicker than their gas-only siblings, and all
of them lead their competitive sets. And with their batteries
fully charged, they can each return exceptional efficiency on
the highway: up to 50 MPGe in the all-wheel-drive GLE 550e
SUV, 61 MPGe in the C 350e, and 63 MPGe in the S 550e.2
All three plug-in hybrids use a strategic approach to deliver
extended benefits from their dual power sources. Clever use
of multiple technologies can optimize powertrain operation
to maximize efficiency. When you use COMAND® navigation*
on longer trips,11 Route-Based Battery Optimization analyzes
the journey. Based on the geography, it can decide when to
use electric power and when to let the gas engine propel the
car and charge the batteries for city driving later on.1 Even
with no route input, it can scan the topography for climbs and
descents up to 4 miles ahead. And at any time, onboard radar
can optimize the regenerative braking based on traffic ahead.8

REMOTE POSSIBILITIES
REFINED PERFORMANCE
Mercedes me puts convenience and power in your pocket,
with a smartphone app that offers an array of remote vehicle
controls.3 The tap of a smartphone button can also take you
to the My Mercedes Electric Vehicle Homepage, with features
designed to enhance your plug-in life. You can locate charging
stations* with just a few clicks, and then monitor your car’s
charge status as it juices up. With remote pre-entry climate
control, you can prepare the cabin comfort before you get in.
Five standard years of mbrace® Connect services are powered
through the Mercedes me app, and also include in-car apps like
local search. Options include in-car WiFi and iHeartRadio.®
A plug-in hybrid Mercedes-Benz doesn’t merely increase the
efficiency and lower the emissions of its gas-only version. It
elevates each model’s character to a new level. The C 350e
grows even sportier and more luxurious with standard 18"
wheels and self-leveling, multimode AIRMATIC® suspension.
Supple leather, lush harman/kardon® surround sound, and
Blind Spot12 and Lane Keeping5 Assists are a few of the ways
the GLE 550e is even more rewarding and reassuring. And
while the S 550e sets the same standard for innovation and
luxury as the gasoline-powered S 550 Sedan, it also delivers
its full suite of hybrid technologies for the very same price.

LONG - R A NGE BENEFITS, STARTING NOW
INTELLIGENT MODES
EXUBERANT MOODS
The intelligent hybrid systems in the plug-in models let you
choose among four drive modes. HYBRID mode is the default
setting, and it’s smart enough to use all the time to maximize
your convenience while it optimizes the car’s performance. It
engages the gas and electric motors based on conditions like
terrain and navigation route data. The all-electric E-MODE
offers locally emission-free driving around town, with 100%
of the electric motor’s torque on call at any time. On longer
trips, E-SAVE conserves battery power on the open highway
for all-electric driving when you get into a city. And CHARGE
mode replenishes the battery by driving on gas-only power.
The “e” at the end of the plug-in hybrids’ model names may
stand foremost for their electrified powertrains, enhanced
efficiency and ultralow emissions. But in addition to toeing a
green line, each is also a pure Mercedes-Benz with a passion
for the redline. So while their eco-friendlier benefits appeal
to your sensibilities, they spark your desire just as enticingly.
The quiet power of their electric boost whisks you to speed
in both a rush and a hush. Their high tech meshes seamlessly
with human nature, not only with their intelligent operation
and intuitive controls but by wrapping it all in finely crafted
furnishings. The “e” also stands for emotion and excitement.

WELC OM E TO THE POWER GENER ATION
One of the most appealing aspects of an electrified Mercedes-Benz is that you already have the “fuel”
for it at home. While public charging stations offer convenience when you travel, there are numerous ways,
reasons, and financial incentives to outfit your home for charging. It’s a plug for the future — yours.
Odds are pretty good that no one you know has a gas station in
their garage. While the idea of it may have an indulgent appeal —
a lot like having your own valet parking attendant at home — the
complexity of procuring, storing and safely dispensing gasoline
makes it impractical if not impossible. With a plug‑in hybrid or
100% electric vehicle, however, you already have some or all
of its “fuel” in your home — electricity. Charging your plug‑in at
home is convenient, easy and cost-effective. And preparing your
home for charging is an investment in the future of driving.
While there are multiple factors to consider when investing
in home charging , there are also numerous resources to help
you electrify your driving. Mercedes-Benz USA has partnered
with Bosch® Electric Vehicle Solutions. Bosch offers a selection
of EV charging stations for indoor and outdoor locations, and
with a variety of cable lengths to suit your parking layout.
Their website is a great place to find information, explore local,
state and federal incentives for which you might be eligible, and
find a local electrician who’s a Bosch-recommended installer.
And with Mercedes me3 and its suite of smartphone features,
you can find public charging stations, check your car’s charge
status, and even pre-cool or warm the cabin while the vehicle is
plugged in, to help maximize its driving range on battery power.
With a little preparation, “e” will start to mean more to you than
electric, efficient and eco-friendly. It’ll also stand for easy.

distance to brake safely. See Operator’s Manual for system’s operating
speeds and additional information and warnings.
Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided.
ATTENTION ASSIST® and/or Lane Keeping Assist may be insufficient
to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied
on to avoid an accident or serious injury. See Operator’s Manual for
system’s operating speeds and additional information and warnings.

11 While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver
must remain focused on safe driving behavior, including paying attention
to traffic and street signs. The driver should utilize the system’s audio
cues while driving and should only consult the map or visual displays
once the vehicle has been stopped in a safe place. Maps do not cover all
areas or all routes within an area. Online features require a subscription
and one or more mbrace Packages.

vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of
approaching vehicles. It must not be used as a sole substitute for
driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions.
