2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2020 Mazda 3 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vs. 2020 Mazda 3 When it comes to style and performance in a compact car, there are few automakers out there who do it better than Mercedes-Benz. The 2020 A-Class is an embodiment of this fact. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class comes with a host of features and has the distinct quality and performance that you would expect from a Mercedes-Benz model. It is also spacious and affordable. Mazda went all out when designing the 2020 Mazda 3. While the car comes with a catchy exterior design, there are some problems with this model. For starters, the hatchback has glaring blind spots thanks to the sloping design. Let us compare these two cars and see how they stack up against each other. Design & Style The 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class comes with a sporty look that is sure to stand out in any parking lot. Mercedes-Benz has given the 2020 A-Class front overhangs that enhance its sporty stance. Inside the car, you get the premium feel that you would expect from a Mercedes-Benz. The instrument panel is designed in a way that puts everything within reach. The Mazda A3 has a stylish exterior with narrow headlights that give this compact car a very sporty look. The interior though is somewhat cramped and as mentioned earlier, the design of the hatchback presents visibility problems. Technology & Safety When it comes to technology and safety, the 2020 A-Class leads by a wide stretch. The car features music streaming technology as well as *Bluetooth® connectivity. This is great for streaming music from your devices and more. A 7-inch infotainment screen is standard although this can be upgraded to a 10-inch touchscreen display. Other features include lane-assist as well as blind-spot monitoring. The 2020 Mazda A3 comes with an 8-inch infotainment display but that is where the good news ends. Features such as phone connectivity and others that are standard in the A-Class are not available in the A3. To get a good sound system in the A3, one must upgrade to higher trims which means paying more money. Performance The 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class comes with a 2-liter turbocharged engine that generates an impressive 188 horsepower. Given the sub-compact nature of the 2020 A-Class, this makes the car very fast and powerful. The suspension system is finely tuned to deliver a superb ride and the car handles well on the road. The base model of the Mazda 3 comes with a 2-liter engine that delivers about 155 horsepower. This is generally adequate to power this sub-compact car although drivers looking for a thrilling ride are likely to be disappointed. Handling is fairly good although the suspension can be a little stiff. The Bottom Line While these two cars come with great exterior designs, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class offers much more to the discerning driver. Ride quality, interior comfort and engine performance are superior to the 2020 Mazda A3. For these reasons, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class wins this comparison.

Why the 2021 S-Class is a Model of the Future
*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.

What's NEW in the 2021 GLA?
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?

Mercedes MBUX: What is it?
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.
2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS vs. 2020 Volvo XC90
2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS 2020 Volvo XC90 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS vs. 2020 Volvo XC90 The remodeled 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS ranks one amongst the top luxury large SUV class. It excels in terms of performance but the only thing holding it back to get on the top is its complicated infotainment system controls. The 2020 Volvo XC90 has an endearing and spacious interior equipped with standard safety features and backed by a good fuel economy. Despite all of that it ranks in the middle of the list of luxury midsize SUV class cars because of its low-reliability rating and just-adequate powertrains. Design & Style The much-awaited upgraded version of GLS has introduced heating, massaging and ventilated seat features in the second and third-row seats and heated steering wheel. The heated and power-adjustable front seats are kept standard along with the synthetic leather upholstery. All in all, the XC90 has become more lavish, elegant and excellent. The 2020 Volvo XC90 sports has got one of the nicest interiors in its class. The minimalist yet elegant interiors with leather covers, soft-touch plastic and matte-finish wood accents are pleasing. The XC90 has seven seats with sufficient head and legroom in the first and second rows but the third row lacks space. Technology & Safety The standard Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system features a 12.3-inch touch screen with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, satellite radio, nine USB ports, and wireless device charging along with other optional features. The driver assistance features are kept as it is which include a surround-view parking camera system, a driver condition monitor, blind-spot monitoring, automatic park assist, etc. On the other hand, XC90 is equipped with Volvo’s Sensus infotainment system with advanced features like a 9-inch touch screen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, satellite radio, a 10-speaker stereo, and two USB ports. It’s a good system, but not the best in this segment. Performance Mercedes-Benz comes with two options of engine. The first option is a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder that makes 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque is standard. The second option is 4.0-liter turbo V8 that produces 483 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. The 2020 Volvo XC90 is available with three engine options; however, these are nowhere close to the performance of GLS engines. The entry-level T5 engine setup in XC90 has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 250 horsepower. One drawback here is the coarse sounds the engine makes under hard acceleration with poor passing power. The Bottom Line The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS is a practical choice for a luxury large SUV. It excels in terms of power, performance and features when compared to others in the segment. The muscular engines, composed handling, serene ride and great fuel economy are the pluses.

Its comfortable interior, quirky off-road capabilities and plenty of customization options land it in the top third of our luxury compact SUV rankings. The 2020 Volvo XC90 boasts of a spacious interior, equipped with many standard safety features.

This option also allows for easy access to the third row. The latest model hasn’t really changed that much than the previous version. Minor improvements on taillights, wheel designs, and LED headlights are not too prominent but are quite impressive. The cabin is spacious and has an understated elegance with the use of some fine materials. The GLC is a five-seater that offers both comfort and support in its two rows. Head- and legroom are both adequate, so you can ride in the back without feeling squashed. The interior is composed of high-end materials giving it quite a handsome feel. It’s also well insulated from wind and road noise. Technology & Safety The XC90 is a good contender in terms of technology. Its Volvo’s Sensus infotainment system is quite impressive with 9-inch touch screen, 10-speaker stereo, Apple Carplay, Bluetooth® and other standard connectivity options. However, it can be pretty difficult to learn and use. The audio and navigation systems can be quite distracting. Thanks to its wide range of safety features, that lessens the dangers of this confusing mechanism. The GLC features MBUX infotainment system, replacing the previous COMAND® interface. The new upgraded system is designed to be user-friendly with options like intuitive voice control. It also employs the use of Artificial Intelligence to adapt to the user to boost the overall experience. There is a pile of safety features with GLC like Pre-Safe Plus, lane keep assist, evasive steering assist, exit warning function, driver drowsiness monitoring, pedestrian detection, etc. Performance The 2020 Volvo XC90 comes with three engine choices namely: T5, T6, and T8.

The entry-level T5 setup includes a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 250 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is available. This engine hauls the XC90 around town with decent pep, but it sounds coarse under hard acceleration and offers meager passing power. The other powertrains are better-suited for the XC90, and they come standard with all-wheel drive. The Bottom Line The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC offers plenty of value for money. It’s fun to drive with a lush interior and a great deal of intuitive technology. This well-rounded small crossover successfully earns a spot near the top ranks in the luxury compact SUV class. Shoppers must not miss this small, upscale SUV. Ready to Schedule a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Test Drive Today?

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2020 Porsche Cayenne 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC vs. 2020 Porsche Cayenne The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC is designed to endure rough terrain and harsh weather conditions. It has earned a name in the top third of our luxury compact SUV rankings. It offers a pleasing ride with a comfortable interior, high-end technology, and a user-friendly infotainment system, among other luxuries. The 2020 Porsche Cayenne is a blend of a high-power engine car with sports-car-like control. It also possesses an opulent, spacious interior. It offers a great range of engine choices and has witnessed several upgrades. What it lacks is the cargo space and some other safety ratings, for which reason we don’t give it an overall score. Design & Style The Porsche Cayenne is a five-seater with two rows. It also has an extra middle seat in the second row. Eight-way power adjustments is a plus. You get the option to 14-way or 18-way power-adjustable sports seat in the front. It offers an impressive range of interior customization options for its cabin including wood, carbon finer, metal, and suede accents. The GLC can accommodate five occupants in its two rows. Both rows have comfortable and supportive seats. It has good head- and legroom that you can ride without feeling squeezed. However, the rear-seats don’t have the same headroom as the front. Use of first-rate materials in GLC adds to its opulent interior. Its sturdy overall built shields the occupants from wind and road noise. Technology & Safety The Cayenne is equipped with the Porsche Communication Management infotainment system and comes with a sharp 12.3-inch touch screen. The touchscreen responds promptly and the graphics look crisp. It has two 7-inch screens for the instrumental panel. The system may look technologically advanced but it can also be distracting and therefore compromise safety. But it has other significant safety features like blind-spot monitoring, lane keep assist, night vision assist, forward collision warning, automatic emergency brakes, and adaptive cruise control. It also has standard front and rear parking sensors. GLA model makes all the advanced infotainment features available even in its most basic model. Also, its system is extremely user-friendly and gives a premium feel. It comes with standard driver aids and they work pretty well. You can get the optional safety features as well. Performance All three main trim levels of the Cayenne have different engines. The standard Cayenne has a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 that offers 335 horsepower with 332 pound-feet of torque. The gearbox is aided by a slick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission which makes the engine hustle the car with ease and zeal. The GLC succeeds to impress buyers even with its basic model that offers 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. If that doesn’t impress you, you may go with the AMG® GLC 63 trim which boasts of a turbocharged V8 engine offering 469 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. You can’t really go wrong with any of the GLC engines. The Bottom Line The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC is an ideal choice for a thrilling ride sensation. Its lush interior, comfortable seating and an extensive range of other luxury-features definitely make it a practical choice. It meets every safety standard and has sufficient cargo capacity. Its customization options will suit a lot of different preferences. Ready to Schedule a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC Test Drive Today?
