The 2025 Mercedes-Benz S 580e 4Matic plug-in hybrid luxury sedan continues unchanged with a base price of $129,350.
That base price, which includes a $1,150 destination charge, is just $450 more than the 2024 model and a negligible increase for a six-figure sedan—one that’s now in its third model year.
Launched in the 2023 calendar year as a 2023 model, the S 580e combines a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 and 9-speed automatic transmission with a single electric motor and 21.5-kwh battery pack.

A standard 4Matic all-wheel drive system channels 510 hp, which gets this big sedan from 0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph, according to Mercedes. EPA electric range is likely to remain unchanged at 46 miles with fuel economy of 23 mpg combined after that.
The S 580e 4Matic isn’t the only plug-in hybrid version of the S-Class, which has been Mercedes’ flagship for decades. But that other plug-in hybrid—the AMG S 63 E Performance—focuses more on performance than efficiency. It swaps the inline-6 for a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 and a more complex plug-in hybrid system that incorporates a rear-mounted electric motor with its own 2-speed gearbox.

Mercedes also offers plug-in hybrid versions of the E-Class sedan, as well as the GLC and GLE crossovers, but for the most part reserves all-electric powertrains for distinct models.
Its lineup does not include an all-electric S-Class to rival the BMW i7, for example. The EQS sedan is the closest S-Class analog, but its aero-focused styling, and the compromised rear-seat packaging it demands, strains that comparison. For 2025, the EQS gets a more traditional looking grille and hood ornament that bring it closer to the S-Class in appearance, plus a bigger battery pack and recalibrated regenerative braking.
