Stuttgart — Shortly after the successful market launch of the S 400 HYBRID, currently the most fuel-efficient luxury-segment saloon with a petrol engine, Mercedes-Benz will be presenting the first “three-liter car” in the premium class — the Vision S 500 Plug-in HYBRID — at the 63rd IAA in Frankfurt.
