Four Decades of Excellence! The 40th Anniversary of the G-Class
The G-Wagon we all know and love turns 40 this year, and it is safe to say that the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has remained a legendary and fully capable SUV throughout all these years. Born in February of 1979 at the world premiere of the 460 model series G-model in Toulon, France, it was emphasized that the values of uncompromising off-road and on-road abilities as well as a maximum variety of use were priorities in this new vehicle. Since that debut in 1979, the G-Class has proven to remain true to the values that were promised at the premier, while also becoming an icon of the Mercedes-Benz brand. Back when the G was first introduced, it was designed as a military vehicle and therefore was more rugged and modest than we know today. There were many variations available for everyday consumers, such as a two-door, four-door, convertible roof, and more. Despite a more modest interior, there was a great attention to detail paid to the drive train of the early G-Class. The selectable standard-fit all-wheel drive with its one hundred per cent inter-axle differential lock and optional differential locks on the front and rear axles, which have been standard equipment since 1985, ensure optimum off-road handling characteristics.Over time more additions and variations were made to the G-Class. Standard-fit power steering came to the G in 1987, standard-fit differential locks in 1985, and an anti-lock braking system (ABS) was added in 1990. In 2001, the G-Class also comprised of an electronically controlled 4ETS traction system, the Electronic Stability Programme ESP® and BAS Brake Assist. Luxury also started to overflow into the G-Class, such as optional individual Recaro seats, fine-wood interior applications, and permanent all-wheel-drive. As the G-Class became more capable and luxurious, bigger and powerful engines were introduced, such as eight-cylinder and even twelve-cylinder engines. As the G-Class advanced, this allowed new and private customers to be interested in this amazing SUV.In more recent times, there have been many special variations of the G-Wagon, including the AMG G 63 6x6, the uber-luxurious Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet, and the impressive and rugged G 550 4x4 Squared. These variations of the G-Wagon further made this fully capable SUV become an icon and a dream SUV for many.Our Sales Consultant, Steve "BIG STEVE" McCloskey underneath the G 550 4x4 Squared! Most recently, the G-Class has been refreshed to include the best of Mercedes-Benz technology and luxury, while also sticking to it's roots from back when it got announced in 1979. While some styling and technical aspects of the G-Class have changed, what has not changed are the excellent off-road capabilities. The all-new G-Class has been found to even surpass its predecessors in certain aspects! However, the G-Wagon still retains it's classic boxy and rugged look that everyone knows and loves.Here at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington, we absolutely understand why so many people are die-hard fans of the G-Class. It is fully-capable, luxurious, stylish, and ready to take on anything. That is why we are here to help you find your next Mercedes-Benz G-Class purchase!

What Are The Benefits of Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC Vehicles?
With the change of seasons comes a change of weather, especially here on Long Island. No one likes slippery winter road conditions, but 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive gives you an added boost of confidence when you’re on the road and the weather turns. How It Works 4MATIC® isn’t just any typical all-wheel-drive system. 4MATIC® fully integrates with the drivetrain, as well as the large variety of safety and assistance system that comes on a Mercedes-Benz. The 4MATIC® system detects driving conditions and adjusts as needed to give you the most traction and confidence to take on the road ahead. During normal conditions, the system channels the engine's torque to the front and rear wheels through a center differential, for sporty balance and responsive handling. However, when mother nature decides to change up the road conditions, the 4MATIC® system reacts instantly by sending power to whichever wheels can use it best, giving you the driver maximum control in unfavorable conditions. History of 4MATIC The concept of the 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive system dates all the way back to 1903, when Paul Daimler created the first designs for an all-wheel-drive system. This led to the first all-wheel-drive car for everyday use being put into production in 1907, the Daimler "Dernberg-Wagen". Fast forward to 1972, development began for the Gelåndewagen, a cross-country SUV. This SUV is known today as the G-Class. Then, in 1985 Mercedes-Benz engineers introduced a new passenger-car AWD drive system at the Frankfurt Motor Show, naming it 4MATIC®. Two years later in 1987, 4MATIC® made its big debut, being featured in the W124-series E-Class. Benefits of 4MATIC All-Wheel-Drive Compared to vehicles that do not have 4MATIC all-wheel-drive, here are just some of the many benefits of having your vehicle equipped with 4MATIC all-wheel-drive. Better acceleration – In inclement weather, you will find that your 4MATIC Mercedes-Benz would accelerate much smoother and faster than a vehicle that is not equipped with 4MATIC, such as a front-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive vehicle. Helps with traction and towing – If you are interested in a Mercedes-Benz SUV that will be towing trailers or equipment, than 4MATIC is essential for a smooth towing process. For example, if you are towing a boat from a wet and steep boat ramp, the added traction will be a huge benefit and prevent your vehicle and the trailer from getting stuck. Improves handling – the biggest advantage of 4MATIC all-wheel-drive is the superior traction in inclement weather events. Since all four of the wheel are given power with all-wheel-drive, more traction is given to make the vehicle continue to move on and not get stuck or lose traction. Better performance – For those looking for the most power possible in a vehicle, you will want to look into 4MATIC all-wheel-drive. The additional traction gives 4MATIC Mercedes-Benz vehicles faster acceleration times and more power on the road, especially on the Mercedes-AMG 4MATIC equipped vehicles. Today, 4MATIC® is available on more than a dozen Mercedes-Benz models, including sedans, coupes, cabriolets, and SUVs. The 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive system has a historical legacy of giving the driver the confidence to take on the road ahead of them, and get them where they need to go. At Mercedes-Benz of Huntington, we have many 4MATIC® models available in our showroom. Come check them out today or give us a call at 855-777-9693 for more information!
What is Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned?
When shopping for a vehicle, you may come across the term, "Certified Pre-Owned". At Mercedes-Benz of Huntington, we have a vast inventory of Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz vehicles. However, many people may not fully understand what Certified Pre-Owned means.

A Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz vehicle has gone through a rigorous inspection by a Mercedes-Benz Certified Technician, and is backed by a Certified Pre-Owned Warranty for extra peace of mind. How Does a Mercedes-Benz Become Certified Pre-Owned?

The 165-point inspection covers a general inspection, inspection of the engine and it's components, electrical systems, undercarriage, drive train, chassis and body, a road test, as well as another inspection after the road test along with the general appearance of the vehicle. These vehicles are looked at with a close-eye, to insure that they are in proper and fit condition to be sold as Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Added Peace of Mind! Extra peace of mind is a major benefit to purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz. This extra peace of mind is thanks to the excellent Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz warranty program. To add to the thorough 165-point inspection these vehicles go through, every Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned vehicle comes with any remaining portion of the Mercedes-Benz four-year/50,000 mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Then, the Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty provides comprehensive coverage for another 12 months with unlimited miles. If you wish to extend your warranty coverage, you can get an Extended Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty for one more year or two more years. Therefore, you can drive anywhere you need to go in your Mercedes-Benz without the worry. Additional Benefits In addition to a vehicle that was inspected thoroughly, as well as the added peace of mind of a great warranty, you also get additional benefits such as 24/7 Personal Assistance.
