What happens when Mercedes adds a hybrid drivetrain to its largest sedan?

#2. There's some added incentive to drive a little greener

Hybrid models typically carry a price premium over their gasoline-only counterparts. Not the S400. Its base MSRP of $87,950 is a shade under the $91,600 asking price for an S550. Of course, the savings is easily gobbled up by any number of enticing “value-added" packages. Our silver S400 test car came with a $4,950 premium package featuring the aforementioned heated, ventilated and multi-contour massaging front seats; bi-xenon adaptive headlamps; LED daytime running lamps; and rearview camera with parking assist. Other packages include a $2,990 rear-seat comfort bundle and a $5,800 sport wheels and body styling package.
