Mercedes GLE500e, S500e, C350e Plug-in Hybrids Confirmed For Australia

Mercedes-Benz’s new GLE 500e plug-in hybrid EV will make its way to Australia over the coming year, the carmaker has confirmed.

Revealed to the world yesterday ahead of a New York Auto Show debut, the GLE 500e is the German company’s first-ever plug-in hybrid SUV.

It won’t be the only ‘PHEV’ in the Mercedes-Benz line-up when it hits local showrooms, however.

Speaking with TMR this week, Mercedes-Benz Australia’s Jerry Stamoulis confirmed that buyers can look forward to not only the GLE 500e, but also the S 500e and the newly revealed C 350e.

Mr Stamoulis said that while all three are locked in for an Australian launch over the next year, exact timing is still to be confirmed.
