AutoExec Summary
Efficiency-focused plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) have been removed from Mercedes-Benz Australia’s lineup, but they may make a comeback. The brand discontinued PHEV versions of certain models during the transition to new generations, focusing instead on high-performance models like the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance. Mercedes-Benz Australia Pacific CEO Jaime Cohen indicated that they are considering reintroducing PHEVs, especially in the SUV segment. Sales of PHEVs have been growing faster than EVs, and Australia’s upcoming emissions regulations are pushing manufacturers to offer more electrified options. Mercedes-Benz’s latest PHEVs offer increased range and improved performance compared to previous models.
