Mercedes-Benz C-Class C350e
Real MPG score: 37%
Given its popularity with company car drivers, it might sound like a natural progression for Mercedes-Benz to add a plug-in hybrid powertrain to the C-Class. However, while its emissions are low, the C350e struggles to get anywhere near its advertised 117-122mpg. Indeed, according to Real MPG submissions, the plug-in C-Class returns a paltry average of 42 - 46mpg.
