Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

Its 13.5-kWh lithium-nickel-magnanese-cobalt battery mates to a 121-horsepower, 325-pound-foot electric motor to provide up to 25 miles of electric-only cruising.

MB's new Eco Assist system knows whether it's best to coast without any resistance, or if it's wiser to use brake regeneration to give the battery a bit more juice.

It can tell the driver when to release the accelerator and why it's making that suggestion, whether it's approaching a roundabout or a downhill stretch of road.
