The plug in hybrid experience has been interesting. Love the quiet start. Then with a flip of a switch I can have the gas engine on standby in case full power required. Been to 2 charging stations. Go from 15% (5 mile range) to 100% (54 mile range) in 25 minutes. Looking forward to trying overnight trickle charging in my garage. Haven’t used any gas in first 100 miles and charging stations were about $25. Online or PDF hyperlinked owners manual has >1000 pages, indicating sophisticated electronics. Can be quite distracting for the driver, though I look forward to a busy railroad crossing to learn and use. I leased my vehicle as MB is giving the max rebate ($7500). This was my 1st time leasing, and I recommend Edmunds write up of pros and cons of leasing. Also did a “single payment lease” and purchased maintenance coverage. Looking forward to my 2 years with a plug in hybrid MB. Update- Returned from road trip to south FL. Highway driving mostly gas powered. Electric driving around town very nice. Very comfortable road trip. Pleasure to drive. No problems. BUT, The 450e rides very high. My wife needed a small step stool to enter easily. The running board appears mostly cosmetic as it’s quite narrow. I hope MB will put this hybrid engine in the station wagon. I would definitely try it.

Vehicle rides great, love the plug in hybrid option but it’s been in and out of the shop with under 4000k due to “poor performance.” A ticket was created with Mercedes and the parts will not be available for months.. I was told it was still safe to drive but then completely broke down after being in the shop for the last month. I love my car but I wish I would’ve waited to purchase it until next year.

Love everything between the real Napa leather 2 tone black and white and the handling is great . Doors are solid and air tight a little getting use to closing them since it’s a Mercedes lol
