A number of patent images showed that the upcoming vehicle will have a new exhaust system while its rear bumper was designed to feature its charging port.
The upcoming vehicle will reportedly be dubbed as the Mercedes-Benz S500 Hybrid Plus. It will be the flagship plug-in vehicle of the Germany vehicle manufacturer. It will reportedly feature a 306HP 3.5-liter V6 engine together with an electric motor. Electric power will come from a lithium-ion battery while its fuel consumption rating us at 3 liters for every 100 kilometer.
