The W223 Mercedes-Benz S580e was updated in Malaysia in September, and here we bring you an extensive gallery of the luxury PHEV sedan that is yours RM738,888OTR before insurance.
Still locally assembled (CKD), the updated S580e wears 20-inch forged and polished multi-spoke alloys (previously 19s) and new EQ Hybrid badging on the front fenders to signify the repositioning of the Stuttgart EV and PHEV models – the latter now bearing the embarrassingly long suffix ‘with EQ Hybrid Technology’.
Inside, the S580e’s center console gets a crystalline dotted finish instead of the usual piano black, which will hopefully make fingerprints less noticeable. More importantly, the front seats are finally ventilated to match the rear seats, which addresses our biggest gripe with the outgoing model.
Perhaps the biggest news is that the S580e now supports DC fast charging up to 60 kW, meaning fully charging the 28.6 kWh battery now takes just 30 minutes. As before, the car has a purely electric range of 100 km according to the WLTP cycle and can be charged via alternating current up to 11 kW. Topping up to 80% takes about two to two and a half hours.
No change to the rest of the mechanicals, led by an M256 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, producing 367 hp from 5,500 to 6,100 rpm and 500 Nm of torque from 1,600 to 4,500 rpm. Between the automatic gearbox and the 9G-Tronic nine-speed automatic transmission sits a 150 hp/440 Nm electric motor, contributing to a total system output of 510 hp and 750 Nm, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. Airmatic air suspension is still standard, but rear-wheel steering has been added, albeit only halfway through 4.5 degrees.
As befits a true flagship, the kit list remains long and includes Digital Light headlights, recessed folding door handles, soft-close doors, keyless entry, a panoramic sunroof, four-zone climate control, electrically adjustable seats with memory and padded headrests, a 12.3-inch instrument display with 3D effect, a 12.8-inch portrait OLED touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Qi wireless charging front and rear and a Burmester 15-speaker 3D surround sound system. Strangely enough, this car still doesn’t have a head-up display.
In the meantime, tugboats In the rear you can enjoy electrically powered executive seats with a footstool on the passenger side, with a massage function that extends down to the calves. They also get their own 7.4-inch tablet, wireless headphones and dual 11.6-inch touchscreens as part of the MBUX High-End Rear Entertainment package, as well as powered rear and side sunshades, belt pass-throughs, illuminated belt buckles and active ambient lighting to match the front. An electric boot lid with independent locking opens to a 350 liter luggage compartment.
In terms of safety, the S580e still comes standard with park assist, a 360-degree camera system, a built-in dashcam function and the full suite of 14 airbags, including central and front and rear side airbags, plus belt bags and rear seat airbags to prevent absconding.
You also get the Driving Assistance package, which includes autonomous emergency braking with enhanced cross-traffic detection, adaptive cruise control with stop and go (prevents collisions up to 130 km/h) and lane centering assistance for level 2 semi-autonomous driving. Pre-Safe and Pre-Safe Impulse Side – the latter of which raises the car to better protect occupants in the event of a side impact – are also fitted. The warranty is four years/unlimited kilometers on the vehicle and eight years/160,000 km on the battery.
