2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS 2021 Maserati Ghibli 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS vs. 2021 Maserati Ghibli The 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS is a masterwork of German design and engineering. Its spectacular appearance and massive performance is perfectly balanced with its serene interior. But how does it compare to the 2021 Maserati Ghibli, the Italian stallion that has taken the world by storm due to its gorgeous looks, formidable engines and cutting edge tech? Design & Style The Maserati Ghibli is a four door sedan that will turn heads with its fender vents, swept back lights and ornate flanks. Within the cabin passengers will be presented with high end upholstery that includes both silk and leather that was produced in one of Italy’s famous fashion houses. It is just as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the skin. The Mercedes-Benz CLS looks fabulous with its fast roofline, sleek and well-proportioned curves and prominent wheels. It can carry 4 adults in exquisite comfort with seats covered in supple leather that provide outstanding support for the back. Buyers get the option of nineteen or twenty inch wheels and a trunklid spoiler can be seen in back which is fully integrated. Technology & Safety The Mercedes-Benz CLS has earned the highest safety accolades that the automobile industry has to offer, including the Top Safety Pick award and 5 stars NHTSA rating. This is due to its extensive suite of safety functions which include driver assistance, automated lane switches, cruise control, lane control, emergency automated brakes and the ability to detect local speed limits and respond accordingly. Luxuries within its cabin include 12.3 inch displays, ambient lights, the choice of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, voice commands and heated/cooled seats. The Maserati Ghibli is equipped with a variety of driver assistance features, such as pedestrian detection, automated emergency brakes, and lane departure notifications, cruise control which is adaptive and semi-autonomous operation. Luxuries within its cabin include 10.1 inch displays, satellite radio, a sound system from Harmon Kardon that has ten speakers and the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Performance The Maserati Ghibli is equipped with a dual turbo V6 that is 3 liter and capable of generating 345 horsepower, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 4.7 seconds. The Mercedes Benz CLS answers with an inline 6, 3 liter engine that can generate 362 horsepower with 369 pounds of torque, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 4.3 seconds. The Bottom Line Everything that the Maserati Ghibli does, the Mercedes-Benz does better. The CLS has bigger touchscreens and superior horsepower, and this combined with the Ghibli’s lackluster switch gear, cramped rear seats and fuel inefficiency makes Mercedes-Benz the winner.

2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA vs. 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia The 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia is a master class in Italian vehicular design. Its exquisite curvature, formidable engines and array of build options make it popular among cosmopolitan drivers. But what happens when it goes up against the 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA, a car that has been lauded as the best in its class due to its AMG® handling, fabulous silhouette, and state of the art technology? Design & Style Visually, the Mercedes-Benz CLA is as sharp as a saber. It has powerful exterior lines which defy the underpinnings of the front wheel drive, with overhangs that are stubby and an arc that is continual and pleasing to look at from every angle. The flanks are beautifully sculpted and within the cabin passengers will be treated to sixty four colorized ambient lights, dual touchscreens and soothing seats. The Alfa Romeo Giulia comes in the form of a sedan with a sporty appearance. A triangular shaped grille can be seen in front, with exquisite body curvature and wheels which are shaped like clover leafs. Within the cabin, passengers will be presented with a spherical dashboard that features an 8.8 inch display with seats that provide excellent back support. Technology & Safety The Alfa Romeo Giulia is rich in safety tech, and did an exemplary job in the IIHS crash tests. Its countermeasures include blind area monitoring, steering assistance, headlights which are adaptive, and emergency automated brakes, but its poor headlights prevented it from capturing the Top Safety Pick award. Luxuries within the cabin include a *Harmon Kardon sound system with fourteen speakers, powered seats, navigational systems, heated steering and voice commands. The Mercedes-Benz CLA is equipped with all of the safety features found in the Alfa Romeo, including automated lane switches and LED lights, and luxuries within its cabin include 10.3 inch displays, the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, a sound system from Burmester and keyless ignition. Performance Those that purchase the Mercedes-Benz CLA35 AMG® will get a turbo 4 engine that can generate 302 horsepower with 295 pounds of torque, which allows it to bolt from zero to sixty in about 4.8 seconds. Those that purchase the Alfa Romeo Giulia will get a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 280 horsepower that allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 5.1 seconds. The Bottom Line Both of these cars are evenly matched in safety and luxury features. However, the back seat in the Alfa Romeo Giulia is too small, the majority of its safety features are optional, and it doesn’t even have manual transmission, which makes the Mercedes-Benz CLA the winner.

2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2021 Tesla Model 3 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. 2021 Tesla Model 3 The 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a marvelous car with a powerful engine, multitude of engine options and a splendid interior. But how does it compare to the 2021 Tesla Model 3, a near futuristic car with phenomenal acceleration, minimalist style and supercharger network? Design & Style The Tesla Model 3 is a sedan which is completely electric. It has touch displays with a cabin that is simplified, and updates which provide new features are offered wirelessly. In the latest edition, the brightwork near the windows and door handles has been toned down, and its central console now comes with charging pad that operates wirelessly. Its exterior frame is windswept and glistening, and passengers will have access to fifteen inch displays. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class can be purchased in the form of a sedan, coupe or convertible, each of which has a wheelbase which is 111.8 inches. Rear wheel drive has also been standardized, and it has a lovely sloping roofline with a cabin that features 12.3 inch displays. There is a huge variety of trim and upholstery options for buyers that pay extra, Technology & Safety The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is engineered to prevent accidents before they occur, and does an exemplary job at it, so much so that is captured the esteemed Top Safety Pick from the IIHS. Its features include emergency automated brakes, cruise control that is adaptive, automatic traffic sign identification, and automatic steering. Luxuries within its cabin include powered leather seats that are ventilated, climate control, and premium audio. The Tesla Model 3 has also received the Top Safety Pick award, along with a five star NHTSA rating. It has all the features found in the Mercedes-Benz, including lane departure notifications, various sensors and radar, which can allow the vehicle to operate autonomously for a brief period of time. Perks within its cabin include climate control, powered seats that can be adjusted multiple ways, power windows and premium audio. Performance Tesla has some of the most powerful electric vehicles in the world, and the Model 3 is no exception. Those that purchase the Standard Range Plus variant will get an electrical motor that is capable of generating 283 horsepower with 307 pounds of torque. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is equipped with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 255 horsepower, that enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 5.7 seconds. The Bottom Line Though the Tesla Model 3 has a strong electric motor, those who have test driven it state that it makes too much noise, everything within the cabin depends on the touchscreen, and the material quality is unimpressive and inconsistent, making the Mercedes-Benz C-Class the winner.

2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2021 Chrysler 300 2021 Mercedes-Benz A Class vs. 2021 Chrysler 300 The 2021 Chrysler 300 is an extraordinary vehicle with a sharp appearance, regal interior and lots of cargo space. But can it compete with the 2021 Mercedes-Benz A Class, a lavish car with impressive handling, the latest safety tech and outstanding value? Design & Style The Mercedes-Benz A Class has a long frame with a roomy cabin and four doors. The curves in the exterior are elegant and refined, with a roofline that is conventional. The cabin is advanced with dual touchscreens, and multiple buttons can be used for climate control. The seats are comfortable and covered in leather and the cabin looks best in beige, black or a combination of the two. The Chrysler 300 comes in 3 trim levels, which are 300S, Touring L and Touring. The exterior is distinctive for its spherical corners and upmarket build quality, with a nice looking grille and flanks that are slab sided to perfection. A miniature decklid spoiler completes the look and the cabin is covered in leather upholstery with polished metal and wooden trim. The seats are quite comfortable and remain so even during extended trips. Technology & Safety The Chrysler 300 received a 4 star overall rating from federal testing agencies, with the IIHS describing its headlights as being poor and its overlap impact protection as being marginal. However, it does have automated emergency brakes, and luxuries within its cabin include 8.4 inch displays, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, dual USB chargers and heated seats. Emergency automated brakes are a standard features in the Mercedes-Benz A Class, and it also has multiple airbags, blind area monitoring and cruise control which is adaptive, as well as a mechanism which can automatically steer the vehicle away from pending impacts. Luxuries within its cabin include heated steering and seats, 10.3 inch displays, an audio system from Burmester, charging pad which is wireless and climate control. Performance Those that purchase the Mercedes-Benz A35 will get a turbo 4 engine that can generate 302 horsepower. The vehicle sits on eighteen inch wheels that work well with its suspension and adaptive dampers. The Chrysler 300 is outfitted with a V6 engine that can generate 292 horsepower that is wedded to an automatic eight speed transmission. Buyers also get the option of all wheel drive, which works well especially for the sedan variant. The Bottom Line While the Chrysler 300 is a very attractive car, appearance alone isn’t enough to win this contest. Its back seats are poorly shaped, its safety scores are not impressive and it also isn’t very fuel efficient, which makes the Mercedes-Benz A Class the winner.

2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS 2021 Land Rover Range Rover 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS vs. 2021 Land Rover Range Rover The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS is one of the rides that car buyers in Huntington want to bring home to their large families. This has an upscale cabin, with comfortable seats all throughout. It has powerful engines for that ultimate driving experience. When it comes to the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover, this SUV also promises muscular engines with a smooth ride. It is also gifted with great off-road capabilities. It debuts Westminster, Black, and Fifty special editions. Design & Style The Mercedes-Benz GLS impresses car buyers in terms of design and style. There is plenty of cargo space at the back, allowing you to fold down both the third and second rows when they are not in use. This will give a total space of 84.7 cubic feet. It can seat six or seven people depending on what seats you want for the second row. All three rows of seats are spacious, no matter what configuration. It is also impressive for using real wood trim to highlight its cabin. The Range Rover, on the other hand, has a standard cargo space of 34.5 cubic feet. This luxury large SUV’s cargo expands to 70.9 cubic feet when the rear seats are not in use. It has two rows of seats that can accommodate up to five people. The ride has firmly cushioned seats which can make it stiff for its occupants. There are high-end materials in most of its cabin areas, but the space is quite dated when compared to more modern rivals. Technology & Safety The 2021 GLS is equipped with the MBUX infotainment system that is definitely easy to learn on the part of its users. This one comes with other functionalities like the wireless device charging, 13-speaker audio, satellite and HD radios, and a whole lot more. It smoothly integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well. Its long list of safety features include lane keep assist, lane departure warning, crosswind assist, parallel and perpendicular park assist, vehicle exit warning, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. For the 2021 Range Rover, there are two 10-inch touch screens supporting its infotainment setup. The upper display takes charge of audio and navigation controls, together with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration. The lower display, on the other hand, takes charge of seating, drive mode, and air conditioning adjustments. It is short in terms of driver aids since it only has lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, front and rear parking sensors, and rearview camera. Performance The GLS gives car buyers several engine options, all powerful enough for every trip. The base engine puts off 362 horsepower using its turbo inline-six. The 580 model, on the other hand, has the capacity to boost 483 horsepower for its twin-turbo V8. Its V8s maximize results to generate 550 horsepower for the GLS 600 and 603 horsepower for the GLS 63. The Range Rover, meanwhile, starts with a 355-hrosepower result for its turbo-six engine. The next version rates at 395 horsepower. The peppiest among these engines can only reach up to 557 horsepower for results. The Bottom Line This comparison shows how the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS defeats the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover in all aspects. The Range Rover tried but still failed. Ready to Schedule a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS Test Drive Today? If you are interested in buying the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS, let Mercedes-Benz of Huntington deliver the best deal in town for you.

2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2021 BMW X2 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. 2021 BMW X2 The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA is a favorite among car buyers in Huntington. This one is gifted with fun features, all reliable for its users. The spacious interior is elegant as well. A vehicle that is fun to ride, this boasts of a sporty exterior. In the case of the 2021 BMW X2, it now features the satellite radio as a standard. It promises potent acceleration for its users. Design & Style The 2021 GLA is gifted with a big space at the trunk that makes room for 50.5 cubic feet of cargo when the rear seats are not in use. It can seat up to five people in its comfy seating arrangement, without any hassle on the part of the user. There is an abundance of legroom and headroom on both rows of seats. You will find no less than topnotch materials inside. The 2021 BMW X2 is a coupe-style crossover which can provide room for five people of all ages, shapes and sizes. It is disappointing that this vehicle has tighter headroom and legroom at the rear seats, though, making the area better for small adults or kids if you want to enjoy the promised seating configuration. There may be soft touch surfaces in the ride, but the presence of hard plastics destroys the overall look for the cabin. Technology & Safety The GLA carries the Mercedes-Benz User Experience or MBUX infotainment system that replaced its already outdated COMAND® system. This is a user-friendly interface with a reliable seven-inch touch screen, six speakers, HD radio, a touchpad controller, and four USB ports. It also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Driver aids include blind spot monitoring, vehicle exit warning, crosswind assist, automatic emergency braking, driver drowsiness monitoring, and rearview camera. The 2021 BMW X2, on the other hand, has the iDrive infotainment system paired with an 8.8-inch touch screen. The touchpad or rotary knob can be used to control the interface. The ride does not support smartphone integration for Android Auto, though. Safety wise, it only has a few like speed limit recognition, rain-sensing windshield wipers, front and rear parking sensors, rearview camera, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and automatic high-beam headlights. Performance The GLA has the base turbo-four engine which pushes up to 221 horsepower in terms of output. There are also other engine variations that can be maximized to produce 302 horsepower and 382 horsepower. The X2 produces 228 horsepower only. There is an odd noise that it generates when you step on the brakes. The Bottom Line This comparison shows how the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA easily makes its way to the top. It is better than the BMW X2 in all aspects, no questions asked. Ready to Schedule a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA Test Drive Today? If you are interested in buying the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA, let Mercedes-Benz of Huntington deliver the best deal in town for you. We serve customers throughout the state and its surrounding regions.

2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2021 Audi A5 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA vs. 2021 Audi A5 The 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a ride with perfectly great attributes that you would definitely love in a luxury ride. Car buyers in Huntington favor it even more because it has been designed elegantly and has all the modern touches of a luxury car. It also has powerful engines to match its sporty look. In the case of the 2021 Audi A5, it still is one of the most undisputable when it comes to overall cabin elegance. Zippy powertrains await its riders too. Design & Style The CLA is configured with five seats that can accommodate a family with growing children. The front seats are perfect for adults with the driver finding his comfortable position in that area too. The upper tether was designed for the middle seat. Interior quality wise, this ride has an abundance of premium materials that make it more stylish. For the 2021 Audi A5, it is noticeable that there is not much cargo space in it. Its seating configurations can differ depending on the model that you will purchase. The cabriolet accommodates four while the Sportback seats five. While it is easy to find a comfortable driving position in this ride, the rear seats are a bit cramped up. Technology & Safety The 2021 CLA is blessed to have the Mercedes-Benz User Experience infotainment system with a seven-inch touch screen display. This has simple menu layouts which makes it straightforward to use. It also has a touchpad controller for easier access to commands on the interface. Other functionalities include Bluetooth®, HD Radio, five USB ports, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Driver aids for the ride include rearview camera, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, crosswind assist, and driver drowsiness monitoring. The 2021 Audi A5, on the other hand, has the MIB infotainment system. The system is fitted with a large 10.1-inch touch screen and is responsive to user inputs. It has an intuitive interface but it may take some learning curve getting used to the setup. It supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and has two USB ports, Bluetooth®, HD radio, and a 10-speaker audio. It falls short in terms of driver aids since it only has a rearview camera, lane departure warning, Audi Pre Sense Front, and Audi Pre-Sense Basic. Performance All CLA models come with turbo-fours. The base version delivers up to a maximum of 221 horsepower, while the CLA 35 gives a power out for 302 horses. The CLA 45, meanwhile, delivers 382 horsepower. All of these are strong engines that any luxury car driver can choose from. The 2021 A5 is now equipped with a new base engine which yields 261 horsepower (13hp more than the previous 248 horsepower for its predecessor). This attempt is not good enough though since it does not defeat the numbers for the CLA. The Bottom Line Search no further if you are looking for the ride that your family needs. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a better choice over the A5. Ready to Schedule a 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA Test Drive Today?

2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2021 Lexus IS 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vs. 2021 Lexus IS The 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is one of those vehicles that impress with its looks. Have a glimpse of its sporty exterior, and it looks like it will take you to the future. That upscale cabin, is something to admire about it as well. For the 2021 Lexus IS, there is a promise of poised ride and handling, together with a long list of standard safety features. It also offers a refreshed exterior to its would-be buyers. Design & Style With a total of two rows that can seat up to five passengers, the 2021 A-Class is outfitted with synthetic leather upholstery. It also offers a 12-way power-adjustable configuration for its front seats. Entering and exiting the vehicle is convenient, plus there is a lot of cargo space too. The sedan’s cabin is made out of topnotch quality materials, with a 64-color ambient lighting system highlighting its overall styling. When it comes to the 2021 version of the IS, there is not really much to expect. It has a below-average cargo area that can only accommodate 10.8 cubic feet of space. The four-door sedan, just like the A-Class, seats up to five people, with well-supportive front seats that provide plenty of room for taller occupants. Overall, the knee and elbow rooms are cramped, with passengers fitting snuggly and uncomfortable during a long ride. While it comes with synthetic leather upholstery as a standard, the cabin looks plain and dated. Technology & Safety Equipped with a user-friendly MBUX infotainment system, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class offers its car buyers with plenty of other technologies. This has a seven-inch touch screen that easily responds to user inputs, and displays crisp graphics. There are five USB ports, voice controls, HD radio, Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto inside. Mercedes-Benz crosswind assist is one of its safety features, together with driver attention monitor, blind spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, rearview camera, and forward collision warning. The IS, on the other hand, uses a base 8-inch touch screen for its infotainment system. The display is easy to read and reach while driving. It supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but the presence of a touchpad compromises the overall usability of the interface. It integrates Amazon Alexa, and is equipped with 10 speakers, HD and satellite radios, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and two USB ports. Safety wise, it has amenities like the rearview camera, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning forming part of its list. Performance The 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class has a turbo-four, 2.0-liter engine setup in two variations. The first one is capable of oozing up to 188 horsepower, while the other generates up to 302 horsepower. In the case of the Lexus IS, its turbo-four engine only oozes up to 241 horsepower, which is quite dismaying. The V6 version only holds up to 260 horsepower. The Bottom Line This comparison clearly shows that the futuristic 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is far better than its Lexus counterpart. There are plenty of things to ultimately enjoy in this vehicle.

Alongside the 2022 EQS 450+ Sedan, we have the likes of the EQC, EQV, EQA, EQB, EQS SUV, EQE, EQE SUV, and of course, the famous Vision EQS, with a few of the mentioned still in production. Deforestation Compliance Other than the EQ lineup, Mercedes-Benz practices sustainability in a multitude of other ways, one of them being the actions they’ve taken against deforestation, through their activities in the leather supply chain. Not only are they against deforestation, but they demand that their suppliers must be as well by making it a requirement in the supplier contract. The clause states that any materials processed come from areas outside of Amazônia, Cerrado, Pantanal, Gran Chaco, Mata Atlântica and Chocó-Darién. Suppliers are also required to comply with standards in areas such as working conditions, human rights, environmental protection, safety, business ethics and compliance. Mercedes-Benz also uses diverse leather substitutes such as DINAMICA, made of recycled polyester and water-based polyurethane, recycled Econyl fiber, made from yarns created with recycled carpets and old fishing nets fished from the oceans. CO₂-Free Electricity from 2022 Onwards Mercedes-Benz is taking a unique approach to green power concepts by collaborating with energy suppliers Enovos and the Norwegian energy producer, Statkraft. Germany houses the most power plants in which CO₂-free energy is generated using solar, wind and hydro sources. In a claim made on the Daimler website, the company states that from 2022 onwards, Mercedes-Benz will be purchasing electricity in Germany which comes exclusively from these said plants using renewable resources, with a new green power supply contract. These are just a couple examples on the long list of actions that Mercedes-Benz has taken to create a more livable future, that puts the state of our Earth into consideration. More examples include: A push towards CO₂ neutrality with the project Ambition 2039. A creation of a Supplier Ambition Rating for Sustainable Supply Chains. Using waste to create useful materials. The Blockchain Pilot Project: A project for transparency on C02 emissions of climate-relevant gases as well as the amount of secondary material along the complex supply chains of battery cell manufacturers. All of the various projects that Mercedes-Benz immerses themselves with goes to show that the brand is one for the people. It’s no wonder that drivers in Huntington, Commack, Northport, and all over New York trust Mercedes-Benz vehicles to put their family in. Whether your daughter is driving to Fort Salonga for soccer practice, your son is taking the dog to Sunken Meadow State Park, or even if you are going on a family trip to the Hamptons, you know you can trust your vehicle to keep you safe while being environmentally conscious. As quoted in their 2020 Sustainability Report, the statement “Sustainability anchored in our core business” really displays that this brand cares about the future, whether that be the future of our children, their children, or even the future of this Earth. Let’s be honest though, all of those are rooted in the same idea that the Earth is ours to care for, and that we want to protect it for the future generations to come.
