Mercedes will be introducing a C-class coupe to compete with the BMW 1 Series. And now the inside line is saying Mercedes may be bringing a hybrid version to light as well, possibly in the next couple of years.
Mercedes is jumping into the hybrid marketplace with both feet. The S400 Hybrid and ML 450 Hybrid have already been introduced here in the US, while a plug-in S-Class is already in the works.
The speculation out now is the Mercedes C-Class will be powered by a V-6, 3.5-liter naturally aspirated C-Class, or a smaller unit with twin turbochargers (over 300 hp). The hybrid would mate an electric motor with the V6. Then there may be a twin-turbo V8 on the planning board, too.
