At the American auto show Daimler's boss Dieter Zetsche said the production model will be sold with the S-Class Coupe designation later this year when it's programmed to reach dealerships.

Zetsche also announced the S500 plug-in hybrid will be introduced this year and will be the most efficient S-Class ever. The model will be able to return 78.4 mpg US (94.2 mpg UK or 3 liters / 100 km) with corresponding CO2 emissions of only 69 g/km. The vehicle will be able to cover up to 18.6 miles (30 km) running only on electric power.

Mercedes-Benz will start making the C-Class for the first time ever in United States and the range will include a C300 plug-in hybrid, making it the first model of its kind in this segment.
