In e save mode, it will run like a Toyota, in normal hybrid mode, it will prioritize electricity because it's a plug in hybrid, it assumes you will top-up the battery whenever you have the chance.
Looking at used Mercedes estate but still can't decide if it's worth going for a Hybrid or diesel. I know all cars lose money but really want to lessen it if poss. Arghh, decisions.
hi there, we don’t have this car anymore but as long as you keep it charged you’ll save a fair amount on fuel. If you’re in the uk many supermarkets now have free 7kw chargers so when you do your shop you can top up your battery completely free of charge.
@@ParagonCarsLondon that’s incorrect. Mercedes’ quotes around 19miles on pure electric. Car usually reads 13 miles. I’m lucky to get 6 miles in real world. Depends heavily on the temperature outside though.
@@kofiAnkraAsareAttrams sorry yes 19 miles is correct for this model. That realistic range does sound low though, we’ve had quite a few of these and have definitely done more than 14 miles on a single charge. Were you driving on the motorway?
@@ParagonCarsLondon hi Paragon Cars London Thank you for your reply . Now the engine light came up . I tried to lock and unlock the car ,I can hear the flap lock opening and closing but it won't open. Now engine light came up .
@@monikazajacova5741 you have to push the flap pretty hard to open it on these. The engine light sounds like a different issue though so i’d get it taken to a mechanic for diagnostics.
Hi My husband bought this car for me . It's not premium. It's fab my first time Mercedes !! I just think it takes a bit of petrol? I am not sure if I can only drive on the battery or if I should leave it at Hybrid settinhs which I think it is in . Can you help please Thank you Monika Ps. I was driving Volgswagen Passat TSI 1.4 before .
There's a button in the centre console that allows you to change between your hybrid settings. You will also have a charging port on the rear bumper of the car to charge the batteries with. You can just put petrol in, but then you won't getting the best Miles per Gallon. Hope this helps.
@@ParagonCarsLondon hello My apologies for late answer . Thank you very much . I think it is in hybrid mode . I am using the eco while driving in the village , comfort between villages , sport while on motorway . It is charging it self when I drive it in the morway. I plug it in every week at the charging station for 2 hours . The last time I got 14 miles of the charge . Would that be normal ? Ps: people are annoying me . I already have dint in it from someone who parked next to me . I try to park away from other cars . Yesterday my neighbor tried to fit her bin one inch from my i thought I will go mad . She always targets my car no matter what I have !!
If you do a lot of motorway journeys, diesel is your answer. Commuting in town and short journeys, this is the answer definitely.
But diesel u will need ear plugs as not very posh having a merc with a tractor engine under the bonnet! Lol
If town and short journeys why is hybrid or petrol better then diesel ?
Really useful vid!
Thanks for this informative video. Does the battery get actively charged when the petrol engine is running like a Toyota Lexus product? Thanks

This seems like the lower-spec C350e..
The one I currently own has a more advanced headlight and a larger screen.
how long does the battery last ?
Just reserved one! Great vid.

If you do a lot of miles go for a diesel. If you drive around town a lot get the hybrid.
I’m going to get the c300 hybrid diesel from 2017 tomorrow!
@@ilyjax how is the car
Are they good i am looking to buy used one
Hey, did u end up buing one?
Question: 60 mph in how many seconds?
5.4-5.7
@@ParagonCarsLondon thanks for the fast response! What's the fuel consumption like when the battery is on 0% on the highway?
@@Habs1967 about 34-38 mpg uk
does it have ambient lighting ?
Yes
How do you put the car in park and reverse? cant see any gear stick xD
mercedes have a steering column mounted shifter. Pretty neat.
Drives forward only, just like German tanks.
@@Bartlomiej2137 😃😂
@@Bartlomiej2137 WW2 Italian tanks had 1 forward and 6 reverse gears ;)
what is your current mpg now? I am thinking to buy a hybrid. The gas price is sky high.

@@ParagonCarsLondon Thanks! How many miles can the electric motor do from 100%?

I can't open the flap to charge my car . Can someone help please? Thank you
fully unlock the car then make sure it’s off. The port should work then.
