HYBRID & ELECTRIC

As more fully electric and hybrid vehicles become available, you may be wondering whether one of these options is right for you. Both hybrid and electric vehicles offer an economical alternative to gas-only vehicles. Mercedes-Benz of Temecula, your local California Mercedes-Benz dealership, has a vast selection of hybrid and electric Mercedes-Benz models for sale. We're here to help you understand the differences between hybrid and electric models so you can choose the Mercedes-Benz that fits your lifestyle best.

What Are Hybrid Vehicles?

Hybrid vehicles use an internal combustion engine combined with an electric motor for power. This allows them to perform more efficiently and go longer on a tank of gas. Many Mercedes-Benz vehicles use a mild hybrid system to assist the gas engine. So in certain situations, the mild hybrid system kicks in to boost acceleration and horsepower, letting you avoid straining the engine. Your Mercedes-Benz hybrid will have several drive modes, including an eco-mode for exceptional fuel economy. Plug-in hybrids give you the option for limited electric-only driving capability.

What Are Electric Vehicles?

Electric vehicles run on electric power only. These vehicles use a large battery pack to power an electric motor system that moves one or both axles, depending on whether it's a single- or dual-motor EV. You can recharge the EV batteries by plugging the vehicle into a power source. Most people install a home charging station where they can plug their EVs in at their convenience, but you can also charge your EV at a public charging station in Temecula. 

Mercedes-Benz is always on the cutting edge of technology, so it shouldn't surprise you to learn you have several electric vehicle options in the latest Mercedes-Benz EV lineup. These luxurious EVs offer a variety of driving ranges and comforts, but they're all ready to change how you drive.
