Mercedes C350e hybrid gallery 2017

The Mercedes C350e is a plug-in hybrid version of the hugely popular executive car

It's fitted with a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, battery pack and electric motor for a total of 275bhp

Fuel-efficiency is officially over 130mpg, but it's the 48g/km of CO2 emissions business users will be happiest about

This is because it qualifies the Mercedes C350e for the cheapest company-car tax BiK band of 9%

Inside, the C350e is just as plush as the rest of the C-Class range, with a stylish dashboard

The plug-in hybrid C-Class has rivals including the BMW 330e iPerformance and Volvo V60 Twin Engine

With substantial power comes serious performance, getting the C350e from 0-62mph in 5.9 seconds and on to 155mph

LED headlights are fitted as standard, with adaptive lights an optional extra

Apart from subtle badging and a flap for the charging cable, the C350e could be mistaken for any C-Class

The major flaw of the C350e is its small boot, with space restricted by the battery pack
