It’s important to keep in mind that the hybrid category includes mild hybrids.
Mercedes’ new M256 inline six is a fantastic example of what can be accomplished with a 48V mild hybrid setup. And, as it happens, AMG head Tobias Moers has already hinted that the next AMG C class family will use a six cylinder engine.
The G20 is known to be getting 48V, and the S58 may very well also. I don’t think BMW will offer the ISG and beltless design like Mercedes yet, but that may come next iteration of their engines.
