2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2019 Mini Cooper Countryman 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. 2019 Mini Cooper Countryman Enthusiastic drivers will find the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA a delightful performance hatchback. It holds the top spot for luxury small SUVs for its crossover functionality that is paired with its luxurious amenities. The lively handling and iconic styling are the selling points of the 2019 Mini Cooper Countryman. This Mini car is a refined ride that offers a myriad of customizable options. It also has plenty of features that got the attention of car enthusiasts. Let us compare these two outstanding luxury vehicles and find out which one truly deserves to be on the limelight. Design & Style The GLA is an SUV but its styling cues made it look more like a chic hatchback because of its body style. It is slightly taller than the normal hatch and has almost the same proportions as the Infiniti QX30. The significantly sculpted body is softened by having steeply-angled roof pillars. The cabin is almost unchanged and still sports a handsome layout that made it look roomier. The Countryman is the biggest among the Minis so its styling is slightly more defined. It has creases in all the right places, a different grille, and its shoulders gave it more of a rugged appeal. Its interior, however, is the same with the Cooper. Technology & Safety The standard 8.0 infotainment screen of the GLA sits on top of the dashboard. There is a small rotary knob to control the infotainment. It is equipped with the Mbrace Connect and the voice-controlled navigation comes as an option. Basic driver aids are available and the more sophisticated ones are bundled together in a variety of packages. The Countryman has a small infotainment screen at only 6.5 inches. The Tech package upgrades it to an 8.8-inch screen that comes with Apple CarPlay and navigation capabilities. Performance The GLA is optimized to deliver 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque from its turbocharged engine. The chassis is competent enough that it stays precise and sharp even when it is along with its limits. Steering is very light thus giving the driver better maneuverability when driving. The base engine for the Countryman is a 134 hp turbocharged three-cylinder that is obviously not enough to deliver a noteworthy performance. It feels heavy to drive, unlike other Mini models that are fun and light to drive. There is a more efficient hybrid model but it takes quite a while to fully recharge. The Bottom Line The 2019 Mini Cooper Countryman is a fresh take on a slightly bigger vehicle as compared to most of the ultra-compact cars that are its brothers. If only more attention was given to improve its engine and performance. It is a nice car for city driving but you must be ready for its underwhelming performance. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA, on the other hand, is a gam-changer with its chic design aesthetics, engine performance, and providing plenty of optional features for entertainment.

2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2019 BMW 8-Series 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. 2019 BMW 8-Series Drivers who are looking for a luxury mid-size car almost automatically check out the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It can’t be avoided because of its superb capabilities and premium features. The latest E-Class has been added with more sophisticated styling and technology that made it more irresistible to buyers. The 2019 BMW 8-Series is considered as an ‘80s revival mainly because of its classic good looks. It also helped that the company are applying a few tweaks in the design and features to make it attractive both in style and technology. While many people love retro styles nowadays, is the 8-Series charming enough to take down the E-Class? Design & Style The exterior of the E-Class is sophisticated with its voluptuous silhouette. Although it looks very reminiscent of the classic Mercedes-Benz designs, the E-Class is added with other details to make it relevant to the currently preferred styling of consumers. The slightly longer roof is one of the improvements and it made the E-Class look more defined. The 8-Series flaunts it’s being an all-American muscle car with its extravagant length and other visual assets. The trapezoidal cues on its front intersect to form letter X shapes that serve as a frame for the tailpipes and brake ducts. Technology & Safety The COMAND® infotainment system is standard on the E-Class. It works great on its own but maybe enhanced depending on the trim. It is simple to connect with the available integration of both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For 8-Series, in-car tech seems to be not a priority since it lacks some features that are always standard on other luxury vehicles. It does not have Android Auto integration and the available Apple CarPlay is free for only a year. Performance The driver can choose the level of performance from the variety of power that different trims on the E-Class come with. The base model, for example, has a 241 hp engine that is already perfect for a spirited drive. The steering is also sufficiently weighted and offers stress-free handling. The overall road performance is predictable so you get to have a better feel on your driving style. The 8-Series comes as either a coupe or convertible. Both styles have a V8 engine for a maximum of 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. Too much is expected from this set up which is why it is disappointing how it has a notable delay in acceleration. The Bottom Line The 2019 BMW 8-Series is a supercar when it is on its own. It, however, failed to shine when compared to the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The latter is solid on its performance and its styling is impeccable. The 8-Series also looks good and has a powerful engine but it failed to impress on the tech front making it look inferior to the E-Class.

2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2019 Audi A5 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. 2019 Audi A5 The 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a premium luxury mid-size vehicle that is loaded with outstanding features. This year’s version has received new enhancements as if it needed more. The E-Class is well-loved for its versatility, athleticism, and advantageous tech features. A worthy contender for the best luxury mid-size cars is the 2019 Audi A5. The brand is known for being the first to give state-of-the-art safety features ahead of the competition. This comparison will reveal a battle between two well-respected vehicles in their segment. Design & Style The design and styling of the E-Class are focused on achieving both style and comfort. The bulbous details on the hood are eye-catching. It looks great but did not sacrifice the importance of having enough space in the cabin for the passengers to be comfortable. The interior styling is also upgraded to look more premium with the use of a variety of first-class materials. As for the A5, its looks are evolutionary. There are sharper areas on the body and a lowered grille that is slightly wider than the last version. These changes in the design were slow and deliberate but are very effective. The A5 scores high in the style department especially because they raised the bar higher even for the interior design and layout. Technology & Safety The E-Class received remarkably high marks from standard safety tests. This is proof of how advanced its tech features are. It is not only loaded with the best driver aids, but it also aims to entertain with its revolutionary infotainment system. Audi’s MMI is a well-acclaimed infotainment system. It has one of the most user-friendly interfaces among all other car infotainment systems. The placement of the audio and navigation systems are also eye-pleasing and accessible. Performance The company is a genius at providing plenty of options for those who prefer to own an E-Class. The four varieties in body styles are the sedan, wagon, coupe, and convertible. They have different specifications for their individual performances. Different powertrains are used on the four trim levels. For the sedan, a 2.0-liter engine can give up to 241 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. The most powerful trim would be the AMG® E 63 S where a turbocharged V8 engine can deliver up to 603 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. A 2.0-liter turbocharged engine powers all three trims of the A5. It can go up to a maximum of 248 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. The Bottom Line Both the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class and 2019 Audi A5 are exceptional vehicles. What makes the E-Class several notches higher than the A5 is that it offers a lot of versatility not only in style but also in performance. The driver is given the power to choose the level of elegance and power to have for his or her E-Class. Ready to Schedule a 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Test Drive Today?

2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2019 Chevrolet Sonic 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA vs. 2019 Chevrolet Sonic It might be presented as an entry-level luxury vehicle but the 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA has all the strong points to be among the best luxury subcompacts available today. It had gone through a lot of revisions and this year may be its best version yet. The 2020 version is already in the looks but let us marvel how the CLA continues to amaze car enthusiasts. Here is a comparison against the practical subcompact from Chevy, the 2019 Chevrolet Sonic. Design & Style The seductive charisma of the CLA is retained while there are some additions for the exterior styling. There is a larger Mercedes-Benz star badge on its diamond-block grille. The sexy silhouette is made more proportional with the sweeping design. In its cabin is a posh rendition of simulated leather upholstery and a smart interior layout. The Sonic had a visual refresh on its 2017 version. Significant changes are only a few but the subtle design updates made it look like it has aged well. The current Chevy grille is less pronounced. There are also interesting color selections for this year, including the new hue called “Shock”. Technology & Safety The CLA has the COMAND® infotainment as an option but if you prefer to do everything from your smartphone, the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto alternatives will work well. It is also compatible with the Me Connect system where many remote automation features are available. New versions of the latest driver aids also come optional for this year. Sonic focused on having an efficient infotainment system with available internet connectivity. It is a great feature even with the standard equipment for the audio navigation systems and active safety features. Performance The CLA’s engine is offered in two variants. The first one can produce up to 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The higher-performance engine, on the other hand, can get up to 375 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. The acceleration is effortless and it has a quick-shifting transmission. All the Sonic variants have a 1.4-liter engine under the hood. Its meager 138 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque are unimpressive when compared against that of the CLA. It slightly redeemed itself with its performance because it does have a good steering and handling prowess. The front seats also allow comfortable long drives especially with plenty of head and leg-rooms. The Bottom Line The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA has plenty of positive characteristics that sent the 2019 Chevrolet Sonic farther back. It cannot be denied that the CLA is more powerful, looks better, and has more features than the Sonic. Ready to Schedule a 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA Test Drive Today?

2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2019 BMW i8 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. 2019 BMW i8 Ranking high among the luxury mid-sized vehicles is the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. It has plenty of upgrades for this year making it more techy, powerful, and stylish. The previous models were already great so one can only guess how the C-Class has improved even better. When talking about good-looking cars, the new 2019 BMW i8 is one that fits the bill so well. More than its looks, however, is a pack of great qualities that easily won the hearts of many car enthusiasts. Let us check out how these two awesome-looking cars would fare against each other. Design & Style The C-Class is refreshed for 2019 with its redesigned front and rear bumpers. The LED lights on both head and tail are also restyled and now come standard instead of being just an option on the previous year. All the additional exterior design details only made the new C-Class more elegant and fitting to be in the perfect C-Class family portrait. The new i8 is styled in a way that every head shall turn in its direction as it passes by. This is mainly because of the exotic and rare choice for its shape. The wing doors, for example, opens dramatically that on-lookers can’t help but want to take a closer look. Technology & Safety Along with the refreshed design of the C-Class is a set of new and innovative car technology that aims to impress. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard along with the new driver-assist safety features. Some of the outstanding active safety techs are Active Brake Assist, attention assist, and Pre-Safe. The i8 is equipped with BMW’s iDrive system and comes with a sharp-looking 8.8-inch touchscreen display. While it does have Apple CarPlay, Android Auto is missing in the picture as well as a lot of the latest driver aids that are standard on other cars in the same segment. Performance The handling dynamics of the C-Class is more than impressive, thanks to its 255 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. The acceleration is quick and the car can easily corner even at higher speeds. The engine delivers a healthy grunt that shows how agile it is across different driving modes. The i8 is a hybrid so aside from the 228 hp coming from its 1.5-liter engine; it also has an electric motor that can peak at 141 hp. While the specs are promising a fun drive, it is noticeable how the i8 does not offer enough feel when steering. The car is supposed to be strong but you can clearly hear it whine as it speeds up. The Bottom Line The 2019 BMW i8 looks great, no argument about that. While it does have the looks to impress, it failed in everything else. The tech and safety features are either subpar or missing, and the performance is surprisingly lacking even with its powerful engine. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, on the other hand, has balanced everything from its looks down to how it gives a perfectly confident performance.

2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2019 Fiat 500e 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vs. 2019 Fiat 500e The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is technically a sedan in the looks department because of its classic sedan silhouette. For this year’s model, however, it is given a few upgrades to make it look more relevant. Furthermore, this entry-level luxury sedan has features that are more impressive than other cars in its segment. Another small car that is interesting to know about is the 2019 Fiat 500e. This electric car is notable for being dependable for city driving. Let us see if its tiny size and promising reputation can take it near the A-Class’ tested character. Design & Style The new A-Class now looks sportier with the sleek styling injected for this year. There are character lines along its shoulder that complement well with the long hood. The front wheel arch over the wheels also made it look formidable. Aside from a stylish exterior, the interior of the A-Class is just as pretty. The styling looks sophisticated especially with the premium-looking materials that were used to make the cabin. At first glance, you can say that the 500e looks stylish and efficient. The stubby snout and roundish headlights look adorable. With careful considerations applied for the interior’s color palette, the 500e was saved from looking drab even without premium fixtures. Technology & Safety The tasteful infotainment of the A-Class is brought about by having the new MBUX. Seamless smartphone integration is available with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on board. The audio-navigation features are also paired with a handful of both standard and optional safety features. This allows the owner to customize them according to different packages. The tech features of the 500e are very basic. There is also a set of limited options for the driver-assistance features. Performance The 188 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque from the turbocharged engine of the A-Class is surprisingly sufficient to give a smooth and responsive drive. The brake pedal is also quick to respond but not jumpy. Its acceleration may not be mind-blowing but it handles itself pretty well with fast driving. The 500e is a pure electric vehicle. The 83-kW electric motor is capable to bring the hp up to 111 and the torque at 147 lb-ft. It has great moves but being powered by electricity is always a consideration if you want to drive it with too much enthusiasm. The Bottom Line The 2019 Fiat 500e has everything that you want for a small city car. It looks good, has basic but useful tech and safety features, and it can perform too if you will push it to its limits. This is where the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class steps ahead of the 500e. The A-Class does not need to be pushed to impress. All its great attributes for the design, features, and performance all come naturally.

2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2019 BMW i3 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vs. 2019 BMW i3 The prestigious badge on the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a testament of how sedans have completely been redesigned to be impressive and relevant in this generation. The A-Class as a sedan exceeds many expectations. The effort that the luxury company placed on it contributed to having sedans on the limelight once again. When it comes to small cars, the A-Class is not the only one that is enjoying the limelight. One of the attractive subcompacts is the 2019 BMW i3. It is an all-electric car that is challenging established models, like the new A-Class. Does this eco-friendly car have it takes to win against the A-Class? Design & Style The A-Class is a subcompact with an obvious touch of its sedan roots. It is evident in its traditional sedan silhouette. The long hood, slim headlights, and the prominent Mercedes-Benz badge made it look current and sporty. Despite the subtle design details on the exterior, the A-Class does have an attractive interior. The ambient interior lighting is simply irresistible. The i3 have aged well but it still looks an oddball among other subcompacts. The distinct exterior is not well-received as it looks very similar to the micro vans from Japan. The interior is spa-like but it lacks the sophistication that a luxury car typically has. Technology & Safety The new MBUX is the A-Class’ infotainment system. The tasteful setup is made more attractive with the ambient lighting in the cabin. The superb audio and Navi systems are customizable as well as its advanced driver aids for the active safety features. The i3’s infotainment system is consists of a basic setup. There is an optional Harman Kardon audio system if you are after good-quality entertainment. Most of the driver aids come optional, including the intuitive adaptive cruise control. Performance The A-Class offers a sharp road performance with its turbocharged engine. The 188 hp and221 lb-ft of torque from its engine instills a confident driving experience. Shifting is very smooth and the car has enough road grip that makes turning on corners is seamless. The electric motor of the i3 delivers 170 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. It is surprisingly good with its quick acceleration, especially because it is an electric vehicle. It is coordinated and feels lively to drive and less taxing once you get the hang of driving it for the first time. The Bottom Line The 2019 BMW i3 is a great eco-car. It has an impressive performance but if you are going to check other features, it is significantly inferior to the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class. The A-Class is a runaway winner because it has the sophistication of a real luxury vehicle. Its features are impressive and its performance is solid compared to the i3.

The G-Wagon is more than just a Mercedes-Benz SUV. The G-Wagon has become an iconic vehicle that everyone knows, love, and desires. However, this iconic masterpiece started out as more than just a pioneering sport-utility-vehicle. The G-Class started off as a military vehicle and hasn't changed much in design or looks since it's debut in 1979. While still retaining it's military roots in design, the G-Wagon has become a status symbol driving around streets of affluent areas from New York, all the way to Los Angeles.The 2019 model year brings many changes to the G-Wagon while still retaining the roots everyone knows and loves. Automobile Magazine reports, "For the 2019 model year, Mercedes-Benz finally unveiled a true, new G-Class—and fixed everything that needed fixing. Now there’s generous width up front. The ride is hugely improved. A new nine-speed automatic mates with a more powerful twin-turbo V-8. Beautiful digital displays now gleam in the instrument panel. There’s even 64-color LED mood lighting so you can bask in the nightclub ambiance even if the doorman won’t let you in. Yet the essential “G stuff”—the burly look, the off-road prowess, the tanklike build quality, even the push-button door handles—remains essentially the same. " After Automobile Magazine kept an AMG G 63 for a week of joyriding, they had to simply say this, "The G63—and I mean this in the best way—is freaking nuts." Like every other Mercedes-AMG vehicle, the AMG G 63 features an engine that is hand-built by a single AMG engine-builder from start to finish, autograph and all. Hence the term, "One Man. One Engine" that has been coined by Mercedes-AMG.Clearly the G-Wagon is much more than an SUV, and we cannot agree more with Automobile Magazine. It has the performance, power, and style of something much bigger than an SUV. Most importantly, it leaves lasting impressions on anyone who drives the G-Class, or anyone who even looks at it. Automobile Magazine finished off their report on the AMG G 63 by saying, "When I got home, I didn’t want to park the G63. I wanted to hang it on my wall.".  It's safe to say this is the impression many others get of the G-Wagon.   Interested in checking out the AMG G 63 for yourself? Or perhaps you would like to factory-order one to your liking? Mercedes-Benz of Huntington can be of assistance. Our friendly and knowledgeable Sales Consultants are ready to assist you with your next new Mercedes-Benz or your next Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz purchase.

What's a better way to spend a nice hot day in the summer than at the beach? The beach-side communities of Fire Island take it a step further, with plenty of dining, shops, bars, and more across the island. Fire Island has been a weekend destination and a day-tripper's dream for many people living in the Long Island and New York area. The unique aspect of Fire Island, is that there are no cars on this island, and is only accessible by boat or ferry. For those looking to try Fire Island for the first time, we have compiled a guide to the Fire Island Ferries to ensure you have an excellent trip this summer. Where Is The Ferry To Fire Island? There are three different locations you can get the ferry to Fire Island, depending on which part of Fire Island you want to go to. There is the Fire Island Ferry out of Bay Shore, NY, which will take you to Ocean Beach, Ocean Bay Park, Fair Harbor, Kismet, Saltaire, Seaview, Dunewood, and Atlantique. You also have the Sayville Ferry Service, which serves the Fire Island communities of Fire Island Pines, Cherry Grove, Sailors Haven, and Water Island. If you are looking to go to Davis Park on Fire Island, you are going to want to take the Davis Park Ferry out of Patchogue, NY. This ferry strictly goes back and forth between Patchogue and Davis Park. Whichever ferry you choose to go to, you should have no problem finding it in the COMAND Navigation System found in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. In a Mercedes-Benz, you will show up to the ferry on-time and in style. How Long Is The Ferry Ride to Fire Island?

Is There Other Options To Get To Fire Island Besides The Ferry? Another great option besides the ferry is a water-taxi. However, these should be called in advance to book your spot! The water-taxis are private boats that will take you across the bay to Fire Island. You can also take a water-taxi from one Fire Island Community to another. Besides the water-taxi, if you have a boat, or know someone that has a boat, you can enjoy some fun in the sun on the boat on the way to Fire Island.

Oil changes are essential to keeping your Mercedes-Benz, and any other vehicle for that matter running smoothly and efficiently. If you choose to not change your oil or skip oil changes, it could have some costly effects to your vehicle. When you don’t change the oil in your vehicle, nothing is absorbing the heat from the engine, pistons, and other components for the engine block. Your engine can start to have some serious issues without it to keep things working smoothly. Having your *oil changed regularly at our Mercedes-Benz Service Center in Huntington, NY means keeping your car running properly on the Dix Hills streets longer. What Does The Oil Do? The main purpose of engine oil is to lubricate the engine. However, it also has many other purposes. Engine oil absorbs the heat from the engine components and carries it away to avoid overheating. If you don't have fresh oil in your engine due to skipping oil changes, the pistons can weld themselves to the cylinders as the heat has nothing to absorb it. If you don’t change out the oil, the dirt and debris it picks up while moving through the engine can be too dirty to work effectively, which can also lead to the engine overheating. All of these issues can be easily avoided by utilizing our Express Service at our Mercedes-Benz Service Center, where you can get your oil changed in an hour or less! How Often Should I Change My Mercedes-Benz Vehicle's Oil? With new Mercedes-Benz vehicles years 2009 and older, your oil change interval is typically every 10,000 miles or at 1 year.

2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2019 Infiniti QX50 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. 2019 Infiniti QX50 Compact-sized luxury SUVs are entertaining crossover vehicles. They are fun to drive because they are lighter, and nimble handling is perfect for any driving style. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA has conveniently earned the utmost recognition for being the perfect small luxury SUV. The practical shape made it look sporty but still roomy. Its performance is city-friendly but you can definitely take it everywhere. The 2019 Infiniti QX50 is also a beautiful and technologically innovative small SUV. It is also among the top of its class and the higher value options can also pass as luxurious. Here is a comparison of the two vehicles to see why they are ranked high in this segment. Design & Style The latest GLA looks both stylish and tough. It has a businesslike stance but certainly not scary. The sculpted body is balanced with the steeply-angled roof pillars. It is more like a chic SUV especially with the fine materials used for its cabin. The new QX50 comes with the brand’s latest design course. The double-arch grille on the bulging hood looks tasteful. Everything on the exterior design elements is working together in a good way. The result is a handsome QX50 from every angle. Technology & Safety Unlike most of its rivals, the GLA comes equipped with a premium-quality infotainment system. Additional tech bundles are attractive but the standard features are fine as is. The basic driver aids are also working as they should but it is highly encouraged to purchase optional packages to make the car extra safer. The infotainment system of the QX50 is dated. Only the lower touchscreen display has decent graphics, but still not at par with the standards. Smartphone integration using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is not available but it does have *Bluetooth® for connectivity. Performance Under the hood of the base trim is a 2.0-liter engine that can reach up to 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. It is capable to maintain a creamy ride even through bumpy roads conditions. The torque may be split on the rear and front wheels. This gives you an advantage if you have a preference on where to put more or lesser torque. The three trims of the QX50 share the same 268 hp engine with 280 lb-ft of torque. The engine should be good but the transmission lags a half-step behind making it annoying. Power delivery is also inconsistent and the car gets jumpy on heavy traffic. The Bottom Line A dated technology can be remedied by having premium options to upgrade the features. It is, therefore, the inconsistent power delivery of the 2019 Infiniti QX50 that severely dampened its overall performance. It made the QX50 it a lot of steps behind the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA.
