In most other respects, the Mercedes S400 is exactly like its V-8- and V-12-powered siblings — which is to say spectacular. The S-Class foundation is so transcendentally quiet and solid, you can’t even tell when the gas engine cycles off and on.

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz S400 hybrid is pure Mercedes from bumper to bumper, a truly luxurious vehicle.

Starting at $88K, the Mercedes S400 Hybrid is hardly an economy car, nor is its 19 mpg city fuel economy especially green. But it’s both significantly greener and also a bit cheaper than other S-class models and competitors’ hybrids.

Any luxury flagship sedan shopper who prioritizes fuel economy over power should check out the 2010 Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid. In fact, even if you’re not prioritizing fuel economy, the S400 is still the cheapest way to get into one of the finest cars in the world.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a magnificent automobile. Everything looks, feels and sounds as if it were meticulously engineered to a degree that’s a step above everything else.

The new S400 Hybrid is not only Mercedes’ least expensive S-Class sedan, it is also its most fuel-efficient. The S400 is well worth considering, even if you aren’t necessarily shopping for a hybrid.

For those desiring a reasonably priced, large luxury car that shows you’ve arrived without maxing out your oil company credit card, the Mercedes–Benz S400 Hybrid has you covered.

After spending some time in the new Mercedes S400, it is, without a doubt, the nicest hybrid we have ever driven. You are surrounded by all the luxe effects the S-Class has come to represent, which is to say, you feel like the leader of a prosperous eco-friendly country.

If going green and saving any amount of fuel (even while traveling in the lap of luxury in a nearly 4,700-pound, five-passenger sedan) top your list of things to do before you die, the Mercedes S400 BlueHybrid is for you.

The Mercedes-Benz S400 more than satisfies the bulk of any driver’s needs while leaving a smaller footprint on a fragile environment.

You’d barely know it was a hybrid when driving the Mercedes S400, in part because the car is otherwise so interesting, luxurious and kind of over the top.

31 miles per gallon. In a Mercedes! I hand the keys of the S400 to the valet, who says, “Mercedes makes a hybrid?” “Yeah,” I respond. “But you’d never know it.”
