2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. 2020 Volvo XC40

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2020 Volvo XC40 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. 2020 Volvo XC40 The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA is a compact SUV that is appreciated for its being agile, luxury appointments, and an impressive crossover functionality. Another compact vehicle that is unapologetically clever is the 2020 Volvo XC40. Both cars come with advanced in-car tech and represent the diminutive SUVs perfectly well. Design & Style Very prominent on the GLA’s exterior is the distinct large three-pointed star. It looks great on the grille and seemingly reminds everyone of the car’s luxurious roots. Its sculpted body is complemented by the steeply-angled roof pillars. On its interior is made with upscale materials that reflect the lavish personality of any Mercedes-Benz vehicle. As for the XC40, it is so unlike the XC60 and XC90 in terms of the design elements. It has a youthful vibe going on in the exterior, amplified by the Thor’s hammer headlights. There is also a small under bite on its concave lip and a stamped clamshell hood that are added to remove any shunt lines on the nose. Technology & Safety Unlike most luxury vehicles that have to be upgraded to get the entire best in-car tech, the GLA is well-equipped even with a standard setup. There is an 8-inch touch display, seamless connectivity, and even a free five-year subscription for the Mbrace Connect telematics services. Optional features include A Wi-Fi hotspot, Harman Kardon audio setup, and satellite radio, to name a few. Get the best mash up of technology with the Multimedia package which already has both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Volvo vehicles are also quite interesting when it comes to technology. The XC40 has an adequate infotainment system that may be upgraded for a fancier set up. It has advanced driver aids but the forward collision system is overly sensitive that you will be forced to just shut it off, defeating the purpose of having it for safety. Performance The standard engine on the GLA starts at a modest 208-hp and comes with a power liftgate and three performance modes for optimized engine and transmission settings. This makes the GLA a perfect car to have across different weather and road conditions because it can easily adapt to the environment. As for the XC40, its turbocharged 2.0-liter engine is quick and responsive. It has, however, less power with only up to 187 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque for the base model. The high-performance trim is the T5 but it can only deliver up to 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The Bottom Line The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA is a subcompact that delivers a full-sized luxury car’s performance. Its characteristics make for a perfect city-friendly crossover but with the right amounts of luxury. The 2020 Volvo XC40 is a good choice too if it has addressed the issue regarding the uncomfortable seating position for the driver. Ready to Schedule a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA Test Drive Today?

2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. 2020 Kia Stinger

2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2020 Kia Stinger 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. 2020 Kia Stinger Consistency and competence are two characteristics that are often expected from luxury vehicles. One of the few select cars that are able to achieve both qualities is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz C- Class. This is the reason why many people adore it despite having only minor changes from its predecessors. In fact, the C-Class keeps on improving with every little addition it received through the years. With only on its second model year, the 2020 Kia Stinger is an interesting entry to luxury vehicles with its promise of a supple ride quality and a graceful fastback body. Let us find out if these qualities are enough to rival the C-Class. Design & Style Both the cabriolet and coupe versions of the C-Class have attractive shapes and the sedan is simply elegant with its sloped rear end. The silhouette still looks the same from the previous model years but added new details to make it look more sophisticated. The grille now sports a new diamond pattern and the AMG® versions are integrated with small spoilers and big air intake nostrils. The cabin is where most of the design updates can be better appreciated. There is an elegant center stack for the controls where physical buttons are replaced with the touch screen menu on its infotainment. The minimalist Following the trend among high-style Italian cars, the Stinger takes an admirable shot at being fashionable with the striking sheet metal, short front overhang, soaring roofline and a long hood. It also has ducts, creases, and spoilers that honestly look a bit too much. Technology & Safety If it is from a German automaker, then you would most probably expect for innovative tech. The C-Class does not disappoint with its own COMAND® system. The crisp and clear graphics pus the multiple control options works seamlessly in providing an intuitive infotainment system. There are also driver assist features that are well-calibrated for a safer drive. The Stinger may not be on the same league as the C-Class when it comes to in-car tech but it does offer a suite of the latest driver aids and standard smart phone connectivity features. Performance The C-Class guaranteed a smooth and lively performance with its 255 hp engine. It is nice that it has a strong grip so that it can stay firmly on the road even during the wet season. The Stinger has a 3.3- liter V6 engine for an impressive to 365 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. It gives a strong acceleration and it stays well-behaved if you are not going to be hammering too much on the pedal. The Bottom Line It is so obvious that the 2020 Kia Stinger is bent on impressing everyone by giving a lot of extras. It is fine in terms of performance because everybody wants a strong and able engine under the hood. On the design, however, the additional details are just too much that it looks rather tacky than classy. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, on the other hand, is able to balance everything from the gorgeous looks down to a solid road performance.

2020 Mercedes- Benz GLS vs. 2020 Ford Explorer

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS 2020 Ford Explorer 2020 Mercedes- Benz GLS vs. 2020 Ford Explorer The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS is an impressive high-tech three-row luxury SUV. It is surprising how it is able to balance unexpectedly good handling with such an indulgent size. Unlike other big cars that tend to have a compromised exterior, the GLS looks stylish and full of substance. This is why many driving-enthusiast parents would prefer it over anything else. Another big luxury vehicle that is interesting is the 2020 Ford Explorer. Its attractive design is enough to take it mainstream and a lot of people have come to appreciate the now-familiar Explorer. Design & Style Luxury SUVs are slowly filling up the crowd and the GLS is a refreshing sight. The promise of a roomy cabin is wrapped in a bold yet elegant exterior. It is sufficiently chiseled to give it a powerful stance but the interior is graceful, thanks to the luxurious materials it is made of. Although the cabin has been designed to look like a typical luxury car, the exterior of the Explorer clearly shows its truck heritage. It is bulky but it does have pleasing proportions that are also endearing for some people. The only disappointment is that unlike its hunky size, the designers failed to offer bolder design cues to make it a bit different than its predecessor. Technology & Safety The ultra-modern interior of the GLS is a hint that you can expect for it to have first-class infotainment. It took pampering to a new level with the ventilated and massaging seats. Other available luxuries include the new MBUX with its enhanced Artificial Intelligence capabilities. It dutifully updates the system based on the commands and habits of the user. The Me Connect feature is also available to remotely access basic car commands, such as locking/unlocking of doors to starting the vehicle from afar. The Explorer has standard infotainment that works already well on the basic setup. There is an option to upgrade the system but doing so is not advised. Many people noticed that there seems to be a glitch on the updated setup where it does not pair well with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Performance The GLS is rewarding to drive, thanks to its 362-hp engine. Its steering is precise and provides an accurate feel of the road. It is also amazing how GLS can easily adapt to a variety of roads. It does not have a problem being on the road or off of it. The Explorer is also better to drive now compared to the last version. It is powered by a 300 hp engine that is perfectly adequate. There is a hybrid version for more power but it is not as refined and transitions feel rough and not well-tuned. The Bottom Line The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS has many capabilities that can only be described as awesome. Many big luxury vehicles are struggling to balance its looks to its character, like the 2020 Ford Explorer, but the GLS will have none of that. Ready to Schedule a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS Test Drive Today? If you are interested in buying the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS, let Mercedes-Benz of Huntington deliver the best deal in town for you. We serve customers throughout the state and its surrounding regions. Drop by our showroom located in Huntington or call us to pre-book for a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS test drive appointment today!

2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. 2019 Audi A6

2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2019 Audi A6 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. 2019 Audi A6 Among midsize luxury vehicles, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class emerges as the best one yet. It is a perfect combination of well-executed styling, modern technology features, and a potent performance that everybody looks for in a luxury car. The vast array of personalization options for this new model year is what most people are excited about since it seems impossible that you will want anything else from an incredible-made car. Another car that is impossible to miss in the same segment is the 2019 Audi A6. German automakers are really after impressing everyone with these two equally impressive cars. Here is a comparison to find out which car will dominate this year. Design & Style Designed to impress, the E-Class has an athletic elegance that is really palpable on its exterior. Step into its cabin and you will be more awed by the enticing layout and premium materials everywhere. Every detail has been carefully laid out to achieve a cohesive design. The gauges, controls, and screens work harmoniously together and they give the cabin a futuristic appeal that is very difficult to resist. As for the A6, it is beautiful but restrained. Many people would love the sense of invisibility that the exterior is trying to evoke but there are also a lot who would like to see more. It is a luxury vehicle after all and it would be fitting to have some exciting details to show off. The interior, thankfully, looks more lavish than outside. It is still subdued but at least the materials used are obviously high quality. Technology & Safety The E-Class will not be as well-regarded as it is right now if not for the amazing in-car tech that is introduced every model year. This year, it gets even more exciting with the addition of innovative gadgets that it is equipped with. The navigation system, in particular, is more intuitive with the COMAND® system. There are plenty of standard in-car techs that come standard on the A6. There are also a lot of optional aids to choose from if you want to add more functions to it. Performance The E-Class is out to deliver a mind-blowing performance with its 255-hp engine. It stays smooth and quiet throughout its powerful acceleration. The E-Class is also biased on comfort so you never have to worry about a bumpy ride with its reliable air suspension. The standard engine of the A6 is a 248-hp engine that also delivers a noteworthy performance. Unlike the E-Class, however, the A6 is not particularly explosive in terms of acceleration. The Bottom Line It is clear why the 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class can easily bring down the 2019 Audi A6. It is more exciting to look at and its performance is far better compared to the A6.

Let us find out more below. Design & Style The A-Class offers an elegant cabin interior that looks modern and futuristic. Its surfaces are covered in beautiful synthetic leather and ambient lighting brightens up its interior atmosphere. A total of five people can be seated comfortably inside the A-Class on its spacious seats that come equipped with heat and ventilation at the front row. The vehicle also offers plenty of leg- and headroom even for taller folks to enjoy throughout long distances. The Audi A3 offers seats that come upholstered in leather as standard. Its front row is supple and supportive but its back row may feel slightly squeezy for some passengers. In total, five people can be seated inside the A3 but people taller than average height may experience discomfort as headroom is lacking at the back row. The A3 looks stunning with excellent build and fine materials found in its cabin. However, some have critiqued how minimalism in the A3 seems rather dreary, given its vehicle class. Technology & Safety There is a wide range of tech features embedded inside the Mercedes-Benz A-Class for everyone onboard to enjoy. The list begins with a 7-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch digital display, 5 USB ports, a touchpad control, Android/Apple platform compatibility, Bluetooth®, HD radio, and voice controls. The car also comes with safety tech such as collision warning, a rearview camera, blind spot monitor, auto emergency brakes with pedestrian detection, attentiveness monitor, and crosswind assist. The Audi A3 offers the MMI system for infotainment, Apple and Android platform compatibility, a 7-inch display, a pair of USB ports, 10 speakers, Bluetooth®, and both satellite and HD radios. The car also has the Audi Pre Sense Front and Basic suites, collision warning, a rearview camera, and brake assist as safety tech. Performance The A-Class can produce 188 horsepower through its base 2L engine with 4 cylinders. Its gas mileage hits 25 mpg in cities and 36 mpg while on highways. The Audi A3 can make 184 horsepower on its base engine and reach 22 mpg and 30 mpg of gas mileage which is pretty responsible but not as impressive as the A-Class. The Bottom Line The Mercedes-Benz A-Class is your top pick if you are looking for a posh car that maneuvers corners and turns smoothly. It is bound to impress through its punchy engine performance as well as a highly-interactive cabin interior with plenty of tech advances.

Tips To Winterize Your Mercedes-Benz

It is important to make sure your vehicle is running in tip-top shape when the cold weather starts to set in on Long Island. If your vehicle is not performing at it's best, or if there are underlying issues that you are not aware of on your vehicle, it will only get worse with freezing temperatures, salt on the roads, as well as wintry weather. That is why it is a good idea to "winterize" your vehicle at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington to ensure that your vehicle can withstand anything the winter season throws at it. Here are some tips of what to check in your vehicle and prepare for winter. Checking Windshield Wipers / Fluid With all of the wet and snowy weather coming it's way to Long Island and Huntington, it's a good idea to make sure your windshield wipers are in working order, and there is plenty of windshield fluid in your car. You do not want to be driving on the Long Island Expressway and not be able to clear your windshield from snowy debris! Come drive right into our service drive in our Mercedes-Benz Service Center near Huntington Station, NY, where our attendants can check your wipers and top-off your windshield fluid for you! Check Coolant Coolant, also known as anti-freeze, keeps your engine from freezing during the harsh cold temperatures we can experience during the winter. If it is cold enough for your engine to freeze, you definitely do not want to be stranded with a frozen engine in freezing temperatures! Be sure to bring your vehicle in to have the coolant level checked, and to check for any coolant leaks under your vehicle. If you would like to top-off your coolant yourself, we offer Mercedes-Benz genuine coolant for sale at our Parts Department! One way or another, we are here to help you and your vehicle not freeze this winter. Check Belts and Hoses Frigid temperatures can make the essential belts and hoses that have your vehicle run smoothly become brittle and weak. Our Mercedes-Benz Service Center can help prevent costly repairs should a belt or hose break by checking them for you through a Multi-Point Inspection. While you wait for your vehicle to be repaired you can enjoy all of our customer amenities that our customers rave about, and be on your way in no time. Check Tires Good tires are essential to staying on track during any journeys you make in treacherous and less-than-ideal road conditions. It is important to check your tire tread and your tire pressure and make sure they are up-to-par. Just as it is easy for you to slip and fall during icy and snow conditions when not wearing proper footwear, it is the same thing for cars. If you drive with heavily worn tires in icy and snowy conditions, it is easier for your vehicle to lose control. The staff here at our Service Department are here to help! Just drive into our Mercedes-Benz Service Center and have an attendant check your tread and adjust your tire pressure for you. If you are in the market for new tires for your Mercedes-Benz, you can do so from the comfort of your own home through our online tire center! It has never been easier to get the tires you need on your vehicle through Mercedes-Benz of Huntington. Check Battery Batteries tend to weaken during cold weather, so if you have a already weak battery the cold weather will only make it weaker.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz EQC

Electric vehicles have just changed as we know it, with Mercedes-Benz entering the electric vehicle game. The all-new, all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQC is the premiering vehicle for the Mercedes-Benz EQ brand. The 2020 EQC 400 is the first vehicle to combine 100% electric power, torque, and smoothness with the comfort, class, and convenience that is expected out of a Mercedes-Benz. Electric now has elegance. The athletic, aerodynamic and artistic EQC leads with the Star in its “black panel” grille, and leaves a lasting impression with full-width LED taillamps. Inside, it’s crafted in the Mercedes-Benz tradition, with intriguing details all its own. Seven preconfigured models make it easy to find an EQC that’s just right for you. First, choose from three tiers of standard equipment. Then, select from two or three design choices in that tier, each with its own colors, trim and 19-inch or 20-inch wheels. Power is not lacking in the EQC. Two motors make up 402 horsepower in this electrifying ride. Thanks to a low-mounted 80-kWh lithium-ion battery and dual electric motors, as well as 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive, performance is rewarding in the EQC. With 561 lb-ft of torque and a 4.8 second 0-60 acceleration time, the open roads of Cold Spring Harbor and Dix Hills are all yours to enjoy. With the EQC you don’t have to worry about losing charge. You can quickly charge on-the-go using an on-board charger and DC fast charging station, and get to 80% charged from 10% in only 40 minutes! Since you have a Mercedes-Benz, you have access to the best of the best. Which is why with the EQC you get access to America’s largest charging network through Mercedes me Charge. Mercedes me Charge gives three years of access to America’s largest charging network with no subscription fee. It also integrates with the Mercedes me smartphone app and EQ-optimized MB Navigation, to ease finding charging stations along your route. Clearly the EQC is a fully integrated vehicle. The EQC is intelligent in all aspects, and puts you in charge. DYNAMIC SELECT lets you tailor the acceleration and handling response of the EQC with the flick of a console switch. Along with Comfort and Sport modes, Max Range and Eco programs help raise your energy-efficiency. You can also set up your own Individual mode. The EQC lets you vary how its regenerative braking system harnesses the energy of deceleration to help recharge the battery as you drive. Five modes include the intelligent driver support of ECO Assist, plus braking intensities from coasting to one-pedal driving. Mercedes-Benz User Experience, also known as MBUX found in the A-Class, GLE, and GLS, takes the EQC’s intelligence up a notch. Just say “Hey, Mercedes” and your EQC’s intelligent voice assistant can adjust the climate, find a coffee shop, and many other things, anytime you ask. You can also activate the climate control and other comfort features remotely in advance through the EQC’s smartphone app. Contact us at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington below to learn more about the 2020 EQC, and have one of our friendly staff members reach out to you regarding this electrifying new vehicle from Mercedes-Benz.
