The year is 2023 and now more than ever, we are seeing more and more self-driving, and electric vehicles jump into the US market. Not all are built the same though, as is shown with the brand new Mercedes-EQ lineup. Many electric vehicles come with their own form of “self-driving”. Mercedes-EQ has announced that it will be introducing its Level 3 autonomous driving for US customers by the second half of 2023 with their ‘Drive Pilot”. With over 30 different sensors, the Drive Pilot is able to control braking, steering, power supply, and more, by using a combination of the sensors, as well as LiDAR, ultrasound, moisture readers, and microphones. Now if you have read our previous blog post on this topic, you know that there are different levels of autonomous self-driving set by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), depending on how much the support features may depend on human supervision. The graph below shows the different levels of self-driving, as well as their requirements to meet said levels. Now what makes the Mercedes-EQ EQS 450+, EQB 300 SUV, EQE 350+, and EQS 580 SUV better than its competitors, is this level three certification. This surpasses other vehicles in the industry such as Tesla, who is still currently at Level 2 Automation. Unlike a Level 2 System, the Mercedes-EQ vehicles use a system where the user is not driving when automated driving features are engaged, while vehicle companies such as Tesla, Ford, and GM, require constant supervision from the driver as the vehicle steers and accelerates. Mercedes-Benz has been the first company to truly try to step forward and actually move to the highest level of autonomous driving yet, by introducing Level 3 automation to their vehicles. As a Mercedes-Benz dealership on Long Island in the Suffolk County area, we are proud to stand behind a company that is honest with its consumers, as well as light years ahead in technology. We can’t wait to watch Jericho Turnpike eventually fill up with more and more electric vehicles. We may be a little biased, but given this knowledge, we know just which ones we would choose! If you are looking for a self-driving vehicle, in the Huntington, Northport, Commack, Greenlawn, Farmingdale, Suffolk County, Nassau County, or NYC area, be sure to give us a call or stop by our beautiful dealership so that we can help you get the Mercedes-EQ vehicle, or even S-Class, that you deserve. If it's Mercedes-Benz, it has to be the best or nothing!
Mercedes-Benz Collabs with SUPERPLASTIC to Introduce New “SuperDackel”
Gone are the days where we would ride in our father’s vintage SL, C 300, or ML 350, with our lays potato chips, munching away, while nodding our heads to our favorite tunes. An almost universal experience for many, included grooving along with WackelDackel, the automotive and cultural icon. Also known as the “nodding dog”, this companion was found in most cars during the 1970’s-1990’s. This year at CES 2023, the most influential tech event in the world, Mercedes-Benz celebrated the launch of the newest character in the SuperPlastic world, SuperDackel! Superdackel is the reinvention of the aforementioned nodding dog. Superdackel was premiered in an animated short movie, along with some other Superplastic familiar faces. According to Bettina Fetzer, “the brand has reinvented and reinterpreted its brand and models for a modern, digital era - so why shouldn’t this iconic character receive an update, too?”. Superplastic is famous for being a global entertainment company intended to create and manage animated celebrities. Mercedes-Benz collaborating with Superplastic, is a melding two worlds that contribute to today's pop culture. Superdackel will be a great love project for the two companies! With all of the new vehicles, such as the Mercedes-EQ lineup including the Hyperscreen, the S-Class and even many of our other models, the Mercedes-Benz lineup has dashboards full of unique and interesting features that grab our attention. It’s no wonder the beloved dog figurine had become a relic of the past! With this new update, we are sure that this figurine will make it's way back into many Mercedes-Benz vehicles in the coming year! With the new updated look, Mercedes-Benz is paying homage to its designs of the past, while honoring the future, much as they do with their vehicle models as well! For more news on what Mercedes-Benz will be working on next, be sure to stay tuned to our blog right here, at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington!
2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs. 2023 Lincoln Aviator
2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE 2023 Lincoln Aviator 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs. 2023 Lincoln Aviator Located in the heart of Huntington, New York, Mercedes-Benz of Huntington has a longstanding reputation for offering some of the most innovative and luxurious vehicles on the market. In this review, we will closely examine two luxury SUVs that are setting new standards: the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE and the 2023 Lincoln Aviator. Design & Style The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE exhibits a majestic blend of contemporary styling, featuring sleek lines and an assertive stance. The cabin is replete with plush materials and precision craftsmanship, encapsulating the essence of modern luxury. The 2023 Lincoln Aviator also excels in design, with a bold exterior and a spacious, luxurious interior that embraces American elegance. While both vehicles are visually impressive, the GLE may cater more to those who prioritize European sophistication. Technology & Safety Technology and safety are paramount in both vehicles. The GLE integrates state-of-the-art safety features, including advanced driver assistance systems and a highly responsive infotainment interface. The Lincoln Aviator similarly equips numerous safety measures and introduces a user-friendly technology package. While both vehicles offer remarkable technology and safety, the GLE’s cutting-edge innovation might be more appealing to tech enthusiasts. Performance When it comes to performance, the Mercedes-Benz GLE promises an engaging driving experience, powered by refined engine options and a dynamic suspension system. Its handling is agile, and the ride is both responsive and comfortable. In contrast, the Lincoln Aviator focuses on delivering a smooth, serene drive, showcasing robust engine choices and an adaptive suspension. While the Aviator offers a refined ride, the GLE might appeal more to those seeking spirited performance. The Bottom Line Comparing the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE with the 2023 Lincoln Aviator reveals two distinct approaches to luxury and performance. While the GLE appeals with its European refinement, sporty handling, and cutting-edge technology, the Aviator draws attention with its American styling, relaxed performance, and comfort-oriented features.

2023 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vs. 2023 Kia Stinger
2023 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2023 Kia Stinger 2023 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vs. 2023 Kia Stinger In the domain of luxury and performance cars, the 2023 Mercedes-Benz A-Class and the 2023 Kia Stinger stand out, each carrying a unique character. While the A-Class is a luxury compact sedan that carries the prestige of the Mercedes-Benz marque, the Stinger is Kia’s venture into the realm of performance sedans, offering a compelling value proposition. This comparison will delve into each car’s design, technology, safety, and performance, providing a balanced view to help you make an informed choice. Design & Style The 2023 A-Class continues Mercedes-Benz’s tradition of sophisticated elegance. Its exterior carries a sleek, modern design characterized by sharp lines, while its interior is a haven of luxury with premium materials and a minimalist dashboard layout. The 2023 Stinger, on the other hand, carries a more aggressive, sporty design. Its fastback style and bold lines make a strong statement, and its cabin, though not as luxurious as the A-Class, provides a comfortable and stylish environment. The choice between these two would depend on your preference for understated elegance or bold sportiness. Technology & Safety Both the A-Class and the Stinger come equipped with a suite of modern technologies and safety features. The A-Class features the latest version of the MBUX infotainment system, known for its user-friendly interface and advanced features like augmented reality navigation. On the safety front, it comes with advanced driver assistance systems, including active brake assist and attention assist. The Stinger, meanwhile, features Kia’s UVO infotainment system and a suite of safety features, including forward collision avoidance and lane keeping assist. The A-Class, with its state-of-the-art tech offerings, sets a high standard in this category. Performance Performance is a key factor for both vehicles. The A-Class offers a refined driving experience with a turbocharged engine that delivers power smoothly and efficiently, while its suspension strikes a balance between comfort and agility. The Stinger, built with performance in mind, features a powerful engine and a sport-tuned suspension, offering a more dynamic driving experience. While both cars deliver in terms of performance, the A-Class’s refinement and the Stinger’s sportiness cater to different driving styles. The Bottom Line Both the 2023 Mercedes-Benz A-Class and the 2023 Kia Stinger offer impressive packages in their respective segments. The A-Class offers a blend of luxury, technology, and refined performance, while the Stinger provides a sporty driving experience coupled with good value.

2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS vs. 2022 Lincoln Navigator
2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS 2022 Lincoln Navigator 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS vs. 2022 Lincoln Navigator The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS and the 2022 Lincoln Navigator are high-end luxury SUVs. Both vehicles feature four doors, ample interior space, and an available third-row seat. The Mercedes boasts 362 horsepower under its hood, while the Lincoln has 440 horsepower on tap. In terms of size, the GLS offers more room than the Navigator in all three rows of seating—particularly in its second row, where it provides more legroom than any vehicle in its class. So which one should you buy? Design & Style Exterior Design The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS has a more traditional exterior design than the 2022 Lincoln Navigator. It has a more aggressive look and is larger, making it appear much more modern. The front fascia of the GLS features an attractive grille design with chrome accents, while its headlights are shaped similarly to those of its predecessor. However, they have been slightly redesigned to fit into the overall appearance of this new model year’s car. The rear end has also been updated slightly with two-piece taillights that extend up over the rear bumper giving it a stylish appearance from all angles. The exterior styling on both vehicles appears similar but not identical when comparing them side by side because each company customized their products differently based on their brand identity, so there aren’t any striking similarities between these crossovers’ exteriors besides their overall shape (husky), size (large), and stance (tall). Interior Design In terms of interior design, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS maintains its position as one of the most luxurious vehicles on the market. It has almost everything you could ever want in a car without sacrificing comfort or practicality. You can easily fit seven people inside this vehicle, so long as they don’t all want to sit in their individual seats. The 2022 Lincoln Navigator has taken a different approach with its interior design and chosen to focus more on luxury than practicality. While it may not be able to accommodate as many passengers as the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS, it does provide each person with their own unique experience that is tailored specifically for them based on their preferences and needs. Technology & Safety The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS is a very modern vehicle, and it comes with a ton of technology features. It has an optional 13.3-inch infotainment screen, an optional 14-speaker Burmester sound system, Apple CarPlay™ compatibility, and Android Auto™ compatibility. The navigation system features voice control over navigation and audio functions, real-time traffic updates, and hands-free calling capabilities. The 2022 Lincoln Navigator comes with a 12.0-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay™ compatibility (which means you can access Siri) and Android Auto™ compatibility (also known as Google Assistant). You also get SiriusXM® satellite radio and HD Radio®, Bluetooth® wireless connectivity for devices like your phone or music player, voice recognition systems that let you control some systems using commands instead of buttons, USB ports, and more! Performance The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS comes standard with a 3.0L I-6 Engine that produces 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. It also comes with a 3.9L V6 engine that produces 350 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Both engines come with a 9-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as an option for the GLS 400 model. The 2022 Lincoln Navigator has two powertrain options: a 3.5L V6 that produces 290 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque or a 5.0L V8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of torque (though this is only available on the Black Label). The Bottom Line If you’re looking for a luxury SUV with plenty of space, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS is the obvious choice. Its engine offers plenty of power, while its sleek exterior and spacious interior help it stand out among other competitors. Ready to Schedule a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS Test Drive Today?

2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC vs. 2022 Lexus RX 350
2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2022 Lexus RX 350 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC vs. 2022 Lexus RX 350 The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC is one of the best luxury vehicles in its class. It’s comfortable, has a lot of storage space, and offers plenty of technology features. But what about its rival? The 2022 Lexus RX 350 comes from one of the most respected car brands in the world, and it can hold its own against the German SUV. In this post, we’ll compare these two models head-to-head to see which is right for you! Design & Style Exterior Design The 2022 GLC is an excellent looking vehicle with an athletic stance and sharp lines. It’s not as dramatic as its predecessor, but the new look appears more modern and refined. The headlights have been redesigned to be more angular and angled toward the ground, giving it a slightly meaner look than we like. The grille has been enlarged so it can accommodate new headlights, too—and there’s an optional wide-body kit available for a sportier appearance. On the other hand, the Lexus RX 350 is…there. There’s nothing offensive about its design; it simply doesn’t stand out in any way at all. And that’s unfortunate for one of our favorite vehicles here at Mercedes Benz of Huntington because we want it to stand out! Interior Design If you’re looking for a luxury SUV, interior design is one of the first things that will catch your eye. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC and 2022 Lexus RX 350 have spacious interiors with plenty of room for passengers. The backseat of both vehicles are comfortable, but there’s a slight difference when it comes to legroom. The Mercedes-Benz includes more legroom in the second row than the Lexus does, so if you’re tall or have long legs, this might be an important factor for you when choosing between these two models. Both SUVs offer cargo space as well as storage compartments throughout their cabins as well; however, we liked how easy it was to access items from inside each vehicle’s glove box and center console compared with accessing things from other areas like under seats or floor mats (which we think are more convenient). Technology & Safety The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC and 2022 Lexus RX 350 both offer a variety of technology features for you to enjoy. The first thing that you should know is that both cars have built-in Wi-Fi hotspots. This means that you can get connected to the internet on the go, which is always helpful if you need to check an important email or look something up online while driving. The next thing worth noting is that neither of these vehicles comes with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integration, but they offer satellite radio as standard equipment. Regarding safety features, both vehicles come with all sorts of sensors meant to keep everyone safe while driving by alerting them when dangerous situations are occurring around them (e.g., blind spot monitoring). Performance The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC has a turbocharged, 2.0-liter inline-four paired with an electric motor that makes 302 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The 2022 Lexus RX 350 has V6 engine that produces 268 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque in its base form. In comparison, the 2021 model was down on power due to it being detuned from last year’s version (which had 290 hp and 267 lb.-ft.). That same year also saw updated versions of both SUVs with more powerful engines. The Bottom Line If you’re looking to buy a luxury crossover, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE will be the best choice. The car has a better design and is more comfortable on the road than its main competitor, the 2022 Lexus RX 350. It also comes with higher-quality materials and more standard features. If you can afford it, choose the GLE over any of its competitors—you’ll get your money’s worth! Ready to Schedule a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE Test Drive Today?

2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vs. 2022 Volkswagen Jetta
2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2022 Volkswagen Jetta 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vs. 2022 Volkswagen Jetta Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen are two of the biggest names in the auto industry. While they both have a long history of making some truly great cars, each company has also had its share of stumbles as well. So what do you do when you’re stuck with an aging model that needs to be replaced? You get creative! If you’ve been searching for a compact sedan with all the latest technology but want to avoid splurging on a luxury model, you may consider purchasing a 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class or 2022 Volkswagen Jetta. If so, we’ll help you decide which is better suited for your needs by comparing their specs side by side. Design & Style Exterior Design The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-class has a distinctive look, with its glass roof and a sloping roofline, making it look like a coupe. The front end features the brand’s signature logo on top of thick headlights flanked by small LED daytime running lights. The car’s overall shape is sleek and modern, with a long hood and short trunk. The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta is quite similar to the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-class in exterior design; however, it does not feature as many curves or sharp lines as its rival. Instead, it has more rounded corners and larger wheels that give it a sportier appearance than most other cars. Interior Design The Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a small, stylish sedan that’s as luxurious inside as it is attractive. The VW Jetta, on the other hand, has a more traditional design that lacks some of the modernity and flair of its German rival. However, there are some key differences in terms of comfort and functionality between these two vehicles’ interiors: The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class has an 8-inch touchscreen monitor on its dashboard as well as support for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Its infotainment system also has voice control capabilities so you can navigate your way through basic functions with just a word or two—something you won’t get in the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta model’s display. Both models offer similar levels of legroom up front but differ slightly regarding rear passenger space; if you’re looking for more room back there without sacrificing style or performance, go with the 2022 Mercedes Benz A Class Sedan! Technology & Safety Both the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class and 2022 Volkswagen Jetta have a ton of technology packed into them, but there are some notable differences. Both cars offer Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and MirrorLink for smartphone integration. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class has a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with 8 GB of internal storage that can be used to store apps like Google Maps or Waze. You can also connect your smartphone via USB and use its navigation services on the dash display instead of streaming over LTE. Both cars also come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features! However if you want to use MirrorLink technology in your 2022 Volkswagen Jetta or other car from another manufacturer, such as Toyota or Ford, you’ll need to upgrade from one of these systems (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto) before installing MirrorLink hardware yourself—and this isn’t something most people would know about unless they looked into it beforehand! Performance The engine in the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a 2.0L four-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 188 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine has a 7-speed automatic transmission, which allows for quicker shifts and smooth acceleration. The Jetta’s 1.4L turbocharged four-cylinder makes 147 horsepower, less than half the power of the A-Class’s engine. The Bottom Line The bottom line is that if you’re looking for a compact sedan with an elevated driving experience, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is worth checking out. It has a more powerful engine and dynamic suspension than its closest competitor, the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta. Ready to Schedule a 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Test Drive Today?

2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vs. 2022 Ford Mustang
2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2022 Ford Mustang 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vs. 2022 Ford Mustang The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class and 2022 Ford Mustang are two of the world’s most iconic cars, each in its own right. We’ve decided to compare them side-by-side to see how they stack against each other. Design & Style Exterior Design The A-Class has a more European design; it’s small but chiseled and purposeful. The Mustang is sleeker and more American, with curves that make it look like a sports car. In terms of design, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class is sleeker and more modern than the Ford Mustang. The German compact sedan looks more like a hatchback than its competitor, but it can still hold four passengers comfortably in its backseat. The two cars are similar in size: both have four doors with trunks that can fit luggage for up to five people (four passengers plus one driver). Interior Design The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class may have a larger interior than the 2022 Ford Mustang, but it could be roomier. While the seating position is comfortable and visibility is good, we found less space for your left elbow than you’d like. The rear seat has plenty of headroom and legroom, though it’s also narrower than some competitors, such as Hyundai’s Veloster. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class comes standard with leather upholstery on most models, and all of them have soft-touch materials throughout the cabin. You won’t find any hard plastics in your new Benz; everything feels upscale. Some plastics do feel cheap, however—especially around buttons or switches—so keep this in mind when deciding between models with different trim levels or options packages that add things like heated seats or leather upholstery to your car. Technology & Safety The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is packed with cutting-edge safety features and technology. With a suite of driver assistance systems, including standard automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert, you’ll be able to confidently navigate the world around you. The 2022 Ford Mustang comes equipped with its own set of advanced safety features as well: adaptive cruise control; lane keep assist; blind-spot monitoring; and rear cross-traffic alert are just some examples. And in some cases (like automatic emergency braking), these features come standard on both models! Performance The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class will have a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that produces 200 horsepower, with an optional turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower. The 2022 Ford Mustang will have a 1.5L three-cylinder engine that produces 230 horsepower and a 2.3L EcoBoost V6 that produces 350 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque (standard). Both vehicles also offer an optional performance package for the higher-horsepower engines: The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class’s Performance Package adds 20 hp to its standard turbocharged four-cylinder; while the 2022 Ford Mustang’s Performance Package adds 10 hp to its standard turbocharged four-cylinder (and 5 more on top of that). The Bottom Line If you’re looking for a compact luxury sedan, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is your best bet. With room for five people plus plenty of cargo space, it’s perfect for families and small businesses alike. And with its spacious cabin and high-tech features like the MBUX infotainment system, it’s also great when you need to get some work done.
