Mercedes-Benz C 300 e named 'Best Plug-in Hybrid' by Carbuyer

The Mercedes-Benz C 300 e has been named ‘Best Plug-in Hybrid’ in the Carbuyer Best Car Awards for a second successive year.

The Carbuyer judges said: “Our best plug-in hybrid for the second year in a row, the C 300 e gets a mammoth 71-mile official range, and is as luxurious as you’d hope a mini-Mercedes might be – especially when running around on battery power."

The Mercedes-Benz C 300 e marries an efficient 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a 25.4 kWh high-voltage battery and 95 kW (129 hp) electric motor. The combined system output is 313 hp and 550 Nm, meaning the C 300 e Saloon can accelerate from 0 to 62mph in just 6.1 seconds. With up to 71 miles1 of all-electric range, drivers can complete most everyday journeys under electric power alone.

The Mercedes-Benz C 300 e is available as either a Saloon or Estate, with prices starting at £52,025 OTR2 and £60,585 OTR2 respectively. The C 300 e Saloon is available in AMG Line, AMG Line Premium or AMG Line Premium Plus specification, while the C 300 e Estate is available exclusively in AMG Line Premium Plus specification.
