British actor Benedict Cumberbatch had some very nice things to say about the plug-in hybrid version of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class during this year's London Fashion Week event.
Cumberbatch is no stranger to promoting fashion along with Mercedes-Benz models, although unlike last year when he teamed up with the S-Class Cabriolet, this time his approach is a little more fuel efficient.
During the clip, he talks about the car's 20 mile (30 km) all-electric range, as well as about its regenerative braking capabilities, and the fact that you get the best of both worlds, luxury and impressively good fuel economy.
The Mercedes-Benz S500 PHEV is powered by a 333 PS (328 HP) 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 working together with a 117 PS (114 HP) electric motor. Mercedes claims it will not only return 2.8 liters/100 km (84 mpg US), but will also accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in as little as 5.2 seconds.
No wonder Sherlock Holmes approves.
