The all-new Mercedes S-Class Plug-in Hybrid gets now leaked in patent images, something which tells us that we should expect an official debut quite soon.

The fuel-efficient variant of the new S-Class will be powered by a 3.5-liter V6 unit and an electric motor good for 109 horses. There are no details about the total output but expect fuel economy figures as low as 78,4mpg US or 3 liters/100km.

A revised front grille also seems to be offered by Mercedes, a part which is very likely to be more aerodynamic, improving the fuel economy figures.
