Source: https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/02/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-revealed/ After a long wait, the 2021 S-Class has finally been revealed to the world by Daimler. After being hidden in a camouflage wrap for an extended period of time, little was known about the new luxury car as mentioned in our previous blog post regarding the new car, but now the time has finally come for all Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts to see the brand new 2021 S-Class that will serve as flagship for the company, and will set the precedent for future models to come. Be prepared to be amazed with the newly announced 2021 World Luxury Car of the Year according to the World Car Awards, the new technology is truly immaculate and never before seen. Performance According to Autoblog, two different engine options are available in the new 2021 S-Class depending on whether you purchase the S 500 4matic, or the S 580 4matic variant. The S 500 features the powerful 3.0L turbocharged inline six-engine, creating 429 horsepower and 384 pound feet of torque with the EQ boost system. On the other hand, the S 580 includes the almighty 4.0 turbocharged twin turbo V8 engine, generating up to 496 horsepower and 516 pound feet of torque. Both the S 500 and S580 will feature a 48 V electrical architecture and a 9-speed automatic transmission for shifting, making the 2021 S-Class even more powerful than it’s predecessors, allowing you to tear through the streets of Huntington limitlessly while also upkeeping the highest degree of luxury. The air suspension will stay standard in the S-Class but the E-Active Body Control feature seen previously in the GLE and GLS, will be the real catcher of attention. This feature individually regulates the damping and spring forces at each wheel. The 4 wheel steering system that will be included makes the new flagship vehicle more agile on long bending roads like ones you may regularly drive on in Cold Spring Harbor by cutting down on the vehicle’s turn radius. Both the S 500 and S 580 variants may have slight differences but both will feature all-wheel drive excitingly.

After all the patience it required seeing the S-Class under camouflage, everyone is just buzzing to know what the exterior of the 2021 S-Class will look like, and how it might differ from previous models in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. From a first glance, the 2021 model follows the design of a traditional large sedan, but upon a better look, you’ll notice that this S-Class is completely reimagined from anything you may have seen before in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. First off, the car is larger. It’s measurements are 208.2 inches long, 76.9 inches wide, and 69.2 inches tall. This creates a difference in size of 1.3 inches, 2.1 inches, and 0.4 inches respectively. Other than size, the grill seems to have changed shape slightly too, to fit the overall new proportions of the car, and create a better balance. The headlights have also changed, now featuring a three-dot LED running light program, while the orientation of the rear tail lamps go from vertical to horizontal, and the new triangular shape of them help them wrap around the edge of the rear bumper more seamlessly. The rear marker lights have moved down in a similar fashion, to help show off the new slightly wider exhaust tips. The wheelbase is also 2.0 inches longer resulting in more beautiful, shorter overhangs. Wheels are available from 19” sizes to a whopping 21” option with the available AMG package.

The door handles are now flushly mounted to the body of the car and electrically powered, which is new for the German company. Since they are electrically powered, they fully emerge when sensing the user’s hand reaching out to open and enter the vehicle. The door handles being flush to the car improves aerodynamics by bringing the coefficient drag to about 0.22, making the new S-Class one of the most aerodynamic cars in the world. Source: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictures/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-sedan/30/ Interior S-Classes are prized most for their interiors and the various available features in them that cater to your every beck and call. This makes the following statement hard to believe with such a reputation, but the 2021 S-Class interior includes more than we have even been able to digest. Design Boss Gorden Wagener has even referred to the vehicle as “ The digital S-Class” . The innovation in this model is actually so advanced that it will set the precedent for future lesser Mercedes-Benz models in the future. The cabin of the sedan is luxurious and almost lounge-like with the usual options of Open-Pore wood, Brushed Metals, Illuminated Seat Belt Buckles, Pinstripe Designs, Piano Trim, and ofcourse the signature S-Class Contrasting Leather with Quilted Stitching. The amount of physical buttons have dramatically decreased due to the new massive 12.8 inch touchscreen featuring HVAC controls. Beautiful yet subtle air vents are seen going through the center of the screen while vertical vents line the dashboard. Speaking of the vents, the 2021 model will have a faster warm up time than ever before due to the booster heater powered by the car’s 48V system. Phones and other small items also have a space behind the screen, while the center console features ample amount of space for whatever else you may need to stow away. There is a new fragrance system too, with scents such as “Bamboo Mood” and “Cotton Mood” so that you can relax when you encounter any pollution when getting closer to New York City. The Digital Instrument Cluster has been advanced as well, featuring a 3D effect included in the 3D Technology Package that allows you to see in a new dimension without even having to go to the AMC movie theater in Commack. This effect can be shut off as well if desired by the driver or passenger. Navigation in East Northport is now even easier; Head Up Display can now project Augmented Reality onto the road in front of you. For example, if you need to make a right onto Elwood Road in 50ft on your way to  Greenlawn, the system will project an arrow onto the road prompting you to take a right. This helps you not miss a single turn on any adventure that you may take your S-Class on in Long Island. When you may be taking a longer ride, the 2021 S-Class will also feature Energizing Seat Kinetics in both the front and rear seats. This function energizes passengers with a combination of different massage options, sights on the large touchscreen and instrument cluster, ambient lighting options, and even smells that get released from the car as well, helping you stay awake and more alert on your journey. Without the Energizing Seat Kinetics feature turned on, you still have Heated Seats, Steering Wheel, and armrest options available, so that you can stay toasty and warm on those cold Dix Hills mornings. The sunroof is even able to open or close with the wave of your hand, making the S-Class so purely effortless. Source: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictures/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-sedan/30/ We all know that the backseat of an S-Class is just as luxurious as the front. Safety is taken into consideration with new rear seat frontal airbags. With more legroom and even a touch more recline possible, you’ll be more comfortable than ever before. It doesn’t end there, the headrests even have heated cushions that we can imagine would be so wonderful for those long days when your neck just won’t stop hurting. On days such as those, you can drift away and truly immerse yourself into the luxury of the car with the new and optional Burmester 4D Surround Sound System. This system will include 8 resonators and 30 different speakers with metal back lit speaker covers on doors and pillars, one being near the driver’s ear to isolate certain infotainment sounds or navigation directions to improve sound quality. Users can create different sound profiles to customize the sound to their own preference, making the experience special to each person. What makes this a “4D” system though, is the fact that you will be able to feel the music through your seats, an option that can be turned off ofcourse. With the Executive Package in the S580, the backseat of the new luxury car can also have up to three screens equipped with the MBUX infotainment system, two 11.6inch touchscreens on the back of each of the front seats, and one 7inch tablet in the center fold-down armrest with Android technology and even a pair of wireless headphones. The MBUX system on both the front and back tablets is exquisitely unique to Mercedes-Benz. Source: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictures/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-sedan/65/ Users will be able to create 7 different profiles for different configurations/preferences such as seat settings, radio presets, speaker settings, addresses, 27 different languages, and more. The system authenticates and recognizes each profile by using voice or facial recognition, fingerprint, or even a PIN. MBUX will also allow you to make commands without saying “ Hey Mercedes” such as “Accept call” or “Decline call”. Not only can you make commands but the new “Chit Chat” feature will allow for more casual and random conversation, similar to Siri on Apple products. If you thought the new futuristic S-Class couldn’t make life any more convenient, you will stand corrected (don’t worry, we were caught off-guard too). The system will also include Toll Transponder Integration. All users have to do is put the physical reader (EZ Pass and etc.)  into the glovebox and the MBUX system system will read it and be able to translate to sensors. All of this plus a 50% faster processing power, and you have a system that rivals the most advanced technology of recent car releases. Driver Assistance The 2021 S-Class will feature an array of different driver assistance programs such as Improved Lane Centering. The unique feature can now follow the road edge instead of just road lines to help you stay centered when driving down the roads of Centerport. Active Steering Assist has also been improved, going up to 130 mph. Adaptive Cruise Control now has an emerging stop maneuver from speeds to up to 80 mph from the previous limit of 35mph. Call that a leap! The S-Class will also feature Predictive Speed regulation while advancements in Blind Spot Assist are showcased with a driver-facing camera that is now implemented in the vehicle. The camera senses and uses intuition when the driver is making specific movements. For example, if you are opening your door to get out into the Walt Whitman Mall, or busy Huntington Village parking lot for the lively nightlife, your car will follow your movements such as your eyes/arms, and body shifting towards the direction of the door, and will activate your Blind Spot Assist warning sooner than usual due to your movements that have been registered. Your S-Class will now not only use your Ambient Lighting feature to beautifully illuminate your cabin in 64 different colors, but it will also use those same lights (now with more LEDs) to be an integral tool in your safety by using warning colors to flash when you’re getting too close to any obstacle. This feature can assist you when using your Active Parking Assist feature with the included 360 degree camera, or even automatic perpendicular and parallel parking. The touch sensitive steering wheel makes using all these additional features even more convenient, because after all, what is the S-Class if not to make your life more convenient, comfortable, stylish, and luxurious? Whether you choose the S 500 or the S 580 in the first half of 2021, with any type of package, you will experience the epitome of luxury that Mercedes-Benz has spent so much time perfecting and executing in the 2021 model of the S-Class. You won’t want to miss the car that will be the start of it all for years to come.

Mercedes-Benz has always had the reputation of having the most advanced and convenient technologies in their vehicles to make life a whole lot easier. KEYLESS START ® and KEYLESS GO ® are no stranger to that concept. Both are technologies that Mercedes-Benz uses to give you an easier way to stop, start, lock, and unlock your vehicle, but what is the difference between the two? KEYLESS START® KEYLESS START ® is the predecessor of KEYLESS GO ®. Standard in most Mercedes-Benz vehicles, this feature allows you to start your car by stepping on the brake and pressing the Start/Stop button close to your steering wheel. Hands full after shopping at the Walt Whitman Mall, or even the Elwood Shopping Center? Well, Huntington drivers have no need to fumble around their purse or pocket, no key is required to start the car. KEYLESS GO® KEYLESS GO® is the more advanced and upgraded KEYLESS START ®. This feature allows East Northport users to enter their car or even lock their car by sensing the Smartkey in the vicinity of the vehicle. All it takes is a simple touch to the door handle for it to unlock, or for drivers to walk away from their vehicle for it to lock. Drivers can also choose to press the sensor button on the door handle when exiting the car to lock it, or hold the button if the windows or sunroof are left open, and the vehicle will close them. Similar to KEYLESS START ®, drivers can step on the brake while holding the Start/Stop button to start their vehicle, or similarly, turn it off. Mercedes-Benz has also implemented a helpful feature for when your key fob battery dies, a removable push start button that users are able to insert their key into so they can still use their vehicle. Pressing the Start/Stop button once will turn on your vehicle’s accessories like the radio, while pushing a second time will turn on your electrical items, and pushing a third time with your foot off of the brake will turn everything off. How Do I Know if My Mercedes-Benz Has KEYLESS GO® or KEYLESS START®? At our dealership located near Fort Salonga, Cold Spring Harbor, Huntington, Commack, and Dix Hills, KEYLESS START ® is standard throughout most of our Mercedes-Benz lineup. If you are interested in accessing or even inquiring about KEYLESS GO ® or other accessories like Ambient Lighting, Blind Spot Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Attention Assist, and PRESAFE ®, get in touch with Mercedes-Benz of Huntington and our team will be able to assist you by finding these features in a car in our dealership, giving you more knowledge about each feature, or even by letting you see these features for yourself on a test drive in one of our new 2021 GLE’s, GLB’s, C300’S, or even a Preowned vehicle that you may have your eye on! Don’t forget to follow our Instagram or stay updated with our blog for more information on high-tech features you may find in your Mercedes-Benz.

*European vehicle image shown In a world where SUV’s are high in demand, it becomes increasingly difficult to grab consumer’s attention when releasing sedan style cars. This is usually the case, but when it comes to the S-Class, it’s traditional body style still captures the interest of many. With many modern new features that showcase the innovation behind the Mercedes-Benz brand, the 2021 S-Class has set an example of what the future of the automotive industry will look like. Appearance *European vehicle image shown Although we have only seen the new S-Class under a camouflage wrap due to the car being officially released on September 2nd, we can still tell quite a bit about the new S-Class exterior. Akin to its predecessor that you may have seen in our showroom, the 2021 model has the same long-hood, and long-wheelbase shape. Although those proportions look very similar to the last, it looks like the front grille is even larger, as well as that the tail looks to have risen higher than before. The door handles are flush, and pop out electronically, similar to the Tesla Model S. With a more angular look, the aerodynamics of the vehicle have been slightly tweaked to create a more aerodynamically efficient sedan. More Than Just Looks Now that we know the exterior of the car is up to par with the S-Class standard, you may be wondering if this luxury car will be worth it past it’s appearances. The answer is definitely! S-Classes sold in the U.S will offer inline-six diesel engines, with an option to step up to a 4.0 liter, while the 2021 Maybach will have the all-powerful v12 engine which will be combined with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive for the first time in history. Not only do these cars have advanced engine systems, but the suspension has stepped up it’s game as well. Two different chassis systems will be offered, a single chamber air suspension system, as well as a “E-Active Body Control” option that helps the car lean into tighter areas such as corners. For when you find yourself in a tough spot when in the streets of Greenlawn, when your vehicle is equipped with the new all-wheel steering option that helps the car turn the rear wheels an incredible 10 degrees, the S-Class turning-circle diameter is drastically minimized by two-meters, creating an overall more versatile vehicle. Although those of us living in the United States may not see this as highly valued, those living in Europe find these features incredibly useful due to their crowded areas, and sometimes smaller roads. The great advantage of having this system regardless of your region, is that at higher speeds, the stability is increased by having the rear wheels slightly turn in the same angle/direction as the fronts. Wouldn’t this be so useful when on the LIE? Talk about a car that truly makes life easier! If you happen to step inside the new S-class while waiting for your new tires to be put on while in our Service Department, it will prove to be just as awe-inspiring as when you first lay eyes on the car. The moment you sit in the driver’s seat you’ll notice the steering wheel has changed with a new spherical center. Look beyond the steering wheel and you’ll notice the dashboard has been completely revamped with what looks to be up to five digital screens. An industry first, the augmented reality fitted head-up display will be sure to grab your attention if the 12.8 inch center console screen does not. The head-up display will have the usual information as well as over laying navigation queues such as arrows almost holographically into your field of vision, making it especially easy to get to any destination you may be travelling to around Huntington, Greenlawn, Commack, or even Fort Salonga. However, the innovation does not end there, the instrument cluster also features a unique three-dimensional view. This enhances readability as the system filters and prioritizes the most important information, and changes the screen accordingly. Not only does the system filter information for you, but it also monitors the driver’s eyes and adjusts the 3D effect to fit their vision. The system also recognizes when the driver is not using the 3D display, and reverts back to 2D so as to not be a distraction to driving. Is the New S-Class safe? Staying on brand with Mercedes-Benz, the car is incredibly safe. The 2021 luxury model will feature up to sixteen airbags, including airbags that extend from behind the front seat and can monitor when a child seat is in place as well as making it safer for those who are being chauffeured. The tubing structure inside of these airbags cushion the passengers head if they happen to lurch forward towards the back of the front seats. Other than the obvious use of airbags, the new futuristic sedan will also include a feature named Pre-Safe Impulse Side. This feature uses the radar system to detect when something will collide with the vehicle laterally, and will lift the car up three inches to cause more force to revert to the door frame instead of the actual door. Now that we’ve piqued your interest with features of the new 2021 S-Class that absolutely set it apart from most cars in it’s day, are you ready to start driving the car of your dreams? Stay tuned with our Sales Department or follow our Instagram to hear updates on when the 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, will hit our showroom floor.

Recently, Mercedes-Benz of Huntington received the newly redesigned GLA, which was featured on our Instagram. The new variant of the model instantly appears unique in comparison to the previous version, not only in its styling, but also its size. In fact, the new GLA is noticeably taller, towering above its predecessor. This increase in height offers much more headroom to its passengers as well as improved visibility. In addition, the new GLA also has a longer wheel base and more legroom in the rear. Other than its size, what other new features has Mercedes upgraded in the new GLA? The new 2021 GLA employs the new MBUX infotainment system which is also included in other new Mercedes models. This new MBUX system, explained in our last blog, also uses artificial intelligence to make the user experience even more intuitive. This system is displayed on a pair of 7 inch screens which replace the analog gauges and media. The screens are also available in a 10.25 inch option. On the road, MULTIBEAM LED headlights with individually controllable LEDs lead the way. The face-lifted GLA also improves upon safety and security features. These include sensors which indicate when it’s safe to change lanes as well as adaptive cruise control which can help steer for exits. The cellphone app “Mercedes me connect” enables users to remote-start, lock, and even book service appointments for your Mercedes. On the exterior, the new GLA is topped with a two-section panoramic roof, brightening the interior and offering maximum views. Meanwhile, under the hood, the GLA 250 is powered by a 2.0L 221 horsepower turbocharged engine with an 8-speed transmission, as opposed to the 7-speed on the previous version. With its higher seat position and more spacious interior, the GLA makes for a car that feels bigger, but still fits comfortably on city streets. The newly designed 2021 GLA is a fresh take on the model, adding to Mercedes’ already varied line-up of compact SUV’s. Interested in test driving the 2021 GLA near Dix Hills, New York?

This Wednesday, Mercedes released teaser photos for the newly designed 2021 S-Class. One of the most noticeable features of the launch was the new media interface using MBUX technology. Through an Instagram livestream, Mercedes unveiled the large screen interface for the MBUX system as well as many of its features. So, what is MBUX exactly? MBUX, which stands for Mercedes-Benz User Experience, is the newest iteration of the user-interface and infotainment system included in all Mercedes. Originally introduced in 2018, MBUX is inspired by the Vision EQS concept’s virtual digital arena. The new S-Class features three main screens in the backrow with a large display in the front center console. The MBUX in the S-Class was designed from back to front, giving it multi-seat connectivity. This means that content such as media or navigation can be shared between any of the car’s screens. This array of screens enables each passenger to have a completely personalized media experience. Between the back seats is located a tablet that can also be used to control media around the car and even read emails. However, given the amount of personal data that will be stored in MBUX to enable this connectivity, Mercedes is taking privacy very seriously. New privacy measures are protected by a finger print scanner or “biometric authentication” which unlocks passenger’s personal profiles. The 2021 S-Class also features voice recognition which is available from every seat. This feature can be used to make suggestions. For example, commands such as, “Mercedes, I’m tired” will then be met with a response recommending to find a rest stop. One of the most exciting features in the new S-Class is the augmented reality heads-up display. This feature enhances navigation by utilizing augmented reality to project arrows pointing to where you should turn. It’s no surprise that Mercedes has fit so much innovation into its newly redesigned flagship model, The S-Class. If you are near Greenlawn, NY, and have interest in the 2021 S-Class, contact Mercedes-Benz of Huntington today to be put in touch with one of our sales associates.

In the automotive world there have been many well-known rivalries between brands. One of which of course, is Mercedes-Benz vs. BMW. Both brands have been pioneers in the luxury vehicle industry for years, especially with their luxury SUV offerings, the BMW X5 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE. These two models have been around for over a decade, and pioneered the luxury SUV segment back when the Mercedes-Benz GLE was formerly known as the Mercedes-Benz ML. With both models being re-done in the past year, Motor Trend decided to take a look at the two rivals side by side and compare the two, and we think this will help our Huntington and Northport drivers that are currently shopping for their next luxury SUV!Mercedes-Benz was among the first to produce a luxury SUV when it introduced the original M-Class for the 1998 model year. Fast-forward to today: Mercedes-Benz has introduced the current GLE-Class that is still a pioneer in technology and luxury, featuring the newest infotainment system, the Mercedes-Benz User Experience also known as MBUX. With MBUX, you can utilize casual voice commands just by saying, "Hey Mercedes!" similar to Amazon Alexa, Apple's Siri, and other smart technology systems. The BMW X5 has been around for nearly as long as the Mercedes-Benz GLE.  BMW's latest iDrive system also has an assistant feature just like MBUX. In Motor Trend's comparison, they compared a 2020 BMW X5 xDrive40i with a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4MATIC. The 2020 BMW X5 xDrive40i starts at $61,695 and Motor Trend's test vehicle was priced at $73,980, while the 2020 GLE 450 starts at $62,145 and their test vehicle was priced at $84,640. Overall, Motor Trend deemed the BMW X5 earned second place, while the Mercedes-Benz GLE was the champion in this test.The difference in driving was very noticeable to Motor Trend between the two similarly equipped SUVs. Motor Trend stated, "The X5 is sure-footed on the road, but its disconnected nature makes it feel like you're behind the wheel of a robot. "Steering is quick and linear, but it doesn't provide the feel or feedback one would expect from a classic BMW," features editor Christian Seabaugh said. "It's missing that organic sensibility that the Mercedes somehow captures."Meanwhile, the GLE wowed Motor Trend with it's performance and driving abilities. Motor Trend had this to say about the GLE, "On the road, the GLE 450 continues to rise above its rivals. For its size, it handles better than you'd expect, especially when equipped one of the two available air suspension options. It goes down the road in a predictable, controlled manner thanks to its excellent body control, superior chassis calibration, and communicative steering. Mercedes' 3.0-liter turbo I-6, which features a 48-volt mild hybrid system, provides plenty of power and easily moves the GLE 450. With the integrated starter generator assisting the engine, you get smooth power delivery and a wide torque band. The nine-speed automatic transmission shifts quickly and decisively. Even when you suddenly mat the accelerator to pass slow-moving traffic, the gearbox gives you the right gear and puts the engine in its powerband." The voice commands available in the MBUX system were appreciated by Motor Trend testers, as well as the touch screen controls. These two methods of navigating the infotainment system were found to be the most effective and straightforward. While BMW's iDrive system received many updates, they still did not find it to be up to par with Mercedes-Benz. Motor Trend stated, "In typical German fashion, many functions are buried in submenus, and this partially negates the benefits of the responsive touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay, which requires a yearly subscription fee after a year of ownership, didn't work smoothly and kept cutting out. Detroit editor Alisa Priddle complained that instead of embracing connectivity, BMW is fighting it by making it hard to pair your mobile devices with its vehicles." It's important to note that Mercedes-Benz offers Smartphone Integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard in the GLE, and with no yearly subscription fee.In the end, Motor Trend has dubbed Mercedes-Benz the winner of the rivalry between the two luxury SUVs. They state at the end of their article, "The attention to detail is impeccable, and the materials chosen for the interior are appropriately luxurious. As a result, the GLE 450 exudes a truly premium aura. You see and feel where that extra $10,000 you spent went the moment you get in the vehicle. The GLE 450's better-balanced chassis makes it easy to drive, the spacious cabin provides everyday practicality, and the spiffy appointments add a level of panache and sophistication missing in the X5. For those reasons, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE450 takes the win."Now that you've read about the two SUVs and what Motor Trend thinks of them, stop into Mercedes-Benz of Huntington today and see the Mercedes-Benz GLE for yourself!

Therefore, it is not surprise that the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE has earned a TOP SAFETY PICK + award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety! To qualify for a 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK + award, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. It also needs an advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention and a good headlight rating. The redesigned GLE earned good ratings in all six of the crash evaluation, which is the highest safety award a vehicle can earn.This Mercedes-Benz SUV is equipped with a standard front crash prevention system and is also available with an optional system. Both systems also earn credit for their forward collision warning components, which meet the criteria set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.The GLE-Class earns a good headlight rating for its available curve-adaptive LED projector headlights with high-beam assist. High-beam assist is a system that automatically switches between high beams and low beams, depending on the presence of other vehicles. This isn't the first time the GLE has been commended for it's safety. The 2019 GLE was previously announced as a 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK + award winner, along with the E-Class Sedan, the GLC SUV, as well as the C-Class Sedan.
