Mild Hybrid

Looking for answer to an odd question. I recently purchased a 2020 C300 Cab. I have read about the C Class having a "Mild Hybrid" system, but can find any consistant information on exactly which, if not all, models have this system. Does anyone know of a way to verify if the car has the Mild Hybrid? Something in the display maybe?
Thanks

Mild hybrids at least pre 2022 or 2023 was it has the word EQ in the insturment cluster. In the USA, mild hybrid only started for the W206 generation C-Class. In Europe or Adian countries for example, mild hybrid was offered on the W205 C 200 facelift.

To clarify, I meant EQ BOOST wording not EQ

Mild hybrids with their 48v lithium battery systems seem not to have stellar reliability, hence manufacturers and dealers aren't promoting vehicles so equipped. IMO, bugs are yet being worked out, and I'm content not being a beta test lab rat. I don't plan to buy any mild hybrid vehicle.

Sadly most modern MBs have a form of 48V mild hybrid, I guess other brands too, perhaps the only ones still standing are AMG 63 models.
