The E-Class and its predecessor models are the best-selling model series in the history of Mercedes-Benz. With over 14 million units delivered globally since 1946, the E-Class family continues to provide enhanced levels of comfort, luxury, and safety with every redesign. The new 2021 E-Class Sedan will arrive in U.S. dealerships in late 2020. Mercedes-Benz Media Newsroom USA shares with us everything we need to know about the Redesigned E-Class Family. New 2021 E-Class Design & Features The newly redesigned E-Class lineup benefits from new and more efficient engines with 48-volt technology, the highly advanced Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment, and the latest in available safety systems. The new E-Class will feature a more dynamic and sportier exterior, redesigned headlamps and taillamps, radiator grille and bumper, as well as new technology and extra comfort. The cabin features a 12.3-inch dual widescreen display, a redesigned steering wheel, and new upholstery, trim, paint, and wheel options. Mercedes-Benz E 450 The powertrain in the E 450 and E 450 4MATIC models has also been electrified with a 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine with an integrated starter generator (ISG), EQ Boost, and a 48-volt onboard electrical system. Capable of 362 hp and 369 lb-ft, the electrical boost of up to 21 hp and as much as 184 lb-ft of torque reinforces the sporty character of the E 450 models. Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet The redesigned E-Class Cabriolet features an all-season open-top with standard sun-reflecting leather, AIRCAP wind deflector, and AIRSCARF neck-level heating. Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain The E-Class All-Terrain has been designed with an off-road aesthetic with a raised height, black body cladding, radiator grille, and stylized skid plate.

https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/02/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-revealed/#slide-2260798 The 2021 S-Class has been teased to us for months now but the time has now finally come for the big reveal. Yesterday morning, Daimler showcased the luxury sedan’s new features that will set the precedent for newer cars to come and will be the flagship face of Mercedes-Benz and their newest innovations. What’s Under the Hood? Two different engine versions will be available for shoppers in the Smithtown area depending on what they are looking for. A powerful 3.0L turbocharged inline engine which will make up to 429 horsepower, and 384 pound ft of torque with the EQ Boost will be included in the S 500 4MATIC. A Muscular 4.0L turbocharged inline twin-turbo V8 engine will be included in the S 580 4MATIC, creating 496 horsepower, and 516 pound feet to help you zoom through any road while in Kings Park. Although the engines will be modified, consumers can expect to have the impressive standard air suspension. Both cars will also have All-Wheel-Drive, 48V electrical architecture, and a 9 Speed Auto Transmission, giving the 2021 more power than anything that's come before it . What else is new you might ask? E-Active Body Control suspension previously seen in the GLE and GLS is now featured in the new S-Class. This will regulate damping and spring force at each wheel. The car will also now include a Four-Wheel Steering System that will cut down on the vehicle’s turn radius to make the new flagship car more agile on curvy and winding roads, such as the ones you may have driven on in Farmingville. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/02/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-revealed/#slide-2260813 Exterior Now, looking upon the new S-Class, the first thing you’ll lay eyes upon, is the beautiful and invigorating newly-designed exterior. Key features of the outside of the new vehicle include: A familiar large traditional sedan body New grille shape for balance New Headlights with a three-dot LED running light program Tail Lamps have now been switched from vertical to horizontal in a new subtle triangle shape with new LEDs that bleed around the edge of the rear bumper to accentuate style Lowered Rear marker lights to help show off subtly wider exhaust tips Other than these key features, the classy car is now slightly larger with the following measurements: 208.2 inches long 76.9 inches wide 59.2 inches tall Wheelbase: 2.0inches longer, meaning aesthetically pleasing shorter overhangs. This makes the car larger by 1.3, 2.1, and 0.4 inches interestingly. Wheels will also be available in sizes ranging from 19”-21” with the AMG Package. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/02/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-revealed/#slide-2260813 Interior When we think about an S-Class we all think about the lounge-like signature high-end interior, and the millions of additional luxuries that they include. The 2021 S-Class will not disappoint for those who love living grand and lavish. The interior includes many features such as: Less physical buttons due to the giant 12.8 inch touchscreen HVAC buttons now are on the included screen Space behind the massive touchscreen to store your phone, and plenty of space in the Center Console to stow away bigger items Stunning but subtle horizontal and vertical vents for air flow Faster warm-up time due to a booster heater powered by the 48V system for those cold Lake Grove nights Heated and Ventilated Seats, plus a Heated Steering Wheel, and armrests to keep you cozy on your commute to Ronkonkoma A new fragrance system, featuring scents such as “Bamboo Mood” & “Cotton Mood” to help relax and calm you, or also for when you might smell the fish while passing by Port Jefferson Harbor A Digital Instrument Cluster with a revolutionary 3D Effect that comes with the 3D Technology Package. Heads-Up Display now projects Augmented Reality onto the road in front of you, making Mercedes-Benz Navigation even more convenient The Panorama Sunroof now can be magically opened/closed with just a wave of your hand https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/02/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-revealed/#slide-2261151 Although all these features are great, we all know that the back seat of an S-Class is also one of the best places to be. The backseat now has more legroom and slightly more recline, making this the most comfortable S-Class to date. With classy touches such as the Open-Pore Wood, Brushed Metals, Pinstripe Designs, Piano Black Trim, or even the Illuminated Seatbelt Buckles, you just can’t go wrong. Safety is still a priority to Mercedes-Benz with their fitting reputation. The 2021 model will include a new Rear Seat Frontal Airbag to make you feel even more at ease than you already will with the Energizing Seat Kinetics, and Heated Headrest Cushions that will be available too. If you thought all that was amazing, wait until you hear about the revolutionary optional Burmester 4D Surround Sound System. This newcomer will feature 30 speakers that will be metal and backlit onto the doors and pillars. Along with the numerous speakers, it will also include 8 resonators. What makes this system so revolutionary though is the “4D” aspect of it. The vehicle teamed up with the Burmester Sound System will allow you to feel the music coming from your seats. You will be fully immersed and isolated if you were not already by sitting in the S-Class. Ofcourse, this feature could be turned off and the setting could be saved by using the sound profiles feature that will allow users to utilize their different preferences when it comes to the music settings in the car. This makes the S-Class so incredibly versatile and personalized. Back seat riders can also have up to three screens, one on the back of each front headrest, and one Android software tablet, all equipped with the new and improved MBUX Infotainment System that we will delve into in a moment. Not only will they have the infotainment system at their fingertips, but those in the backseat have just as much power as those sitting in the front due to the new capability for them to use “Hey Mercedes” now too! https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/02/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-revealed/#slide-2260804 MBUX Upgrade Innovation and technology have taken several leaps forward hand-in-hand, due to Mercedes-Benz. As we had mentioned before, the MBUX system is all brand new, and is chock-full of never before seen features. The following has been seen to be included: MBUX Profiles: Users can create up to 7 profiles on the system for preferences and data such as settings, addresses, seat configuration, presets, and etc. These profiles are accessible via voice authentication, facial recognition, fingerprint, or even just a PIN. More commands: MBUX will recognize more phrases, without having to say “Hey Mercedes,_____” prior. EX: “Decline call.” Chit Chat feature: Users will be able to talk to the Hey Mercedes feature in a fashion akin to Siri featured in Apple products. Toll Transponder Integration: makes going through tolls easier: MBUX stores information and relays it to the sensors. 50% faster processing ! The MBUX system is faster than ever. Convenience The MBUX system sure does make life easier, but the S-Class is all about surpassing expectations. The S-Class also features a wide range of programs that assist the driver such as : Improved Lane Centering Active Steering Assist up to 130MPH Adaptive Cruise Control - now has an improved stop maneuver from speeds up to 80mph, previously 35mph. Predictive Speed Regulation 64-Color Ambient Lighting: now uses warning colors to help inform you of when you may be too close to an oncoming vehicle Driver Facing Camera for intuition and assistance Active Parking Assist: Includes a 360-degree camera and also automatic perpendicular and parallel parking The S-Class finds any way to try and make life a breeze for whoever is driving or even riding in it. We are absolutely overwhelmed with excitement for the 2021 S-Class to hit showrooms in the first half of 2021. Can’t hold your excitement? No worries, we got your back! Stay updated with our website, and even our Instagram to be the first to know when the new luxury sedan hits our dealership floors. *Information from this article was sourced from both Autoblog and Cnet, check out their wonderful articles as well!*

Mercedes-Benz is always switching things up and it’s no different when it comes to the newest wagon that will appear in the E-Class lineup. Without sacrificing in style,safety, or comfort the new vehicle will be the first of its kind for Mercedes-Benz lovers in Smithtown. Exterior The outside of the vehicle imitates an SUV-like character but the part that usual Saint James Mercedes-Benz wagon drivers may not be accustomed to is that now the wagon will feature distinctive matte-black body cladding inspired by the modern-day crossover. Not only will the long-roofed vehicle include body cladding, but it will also include a skid plate, fender flares, and off road pretensions for those unpredictable Selden roads. With a redesigned grille, LED headlamps and taillamps, and 19” wheels (or an optional 20”) complete with all season run-flat tires, this wagon is ready to tackle any type of road that you decide to take. This car is something new and fresh that we haven’t seen out of a Mercedes-Benz wagon yet. Interior The future is at your fingertips within the cabin of the luxury wagon. With the Artificial Intelligence fueled upgraded MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system you can use your voice, touchpad, or even the steering wheel to use the system to your advantage. With the touchpad, you have no more need to fiddle around with the twist-and-push scroll knob when trying to put in directions to the Lake Grove/Smith Haven Mall, adding to user convenience. If you still don’t want to bother with buttons or a mouse-like pad, no worries, the central screen is touch sensitive. On the widescreen dual display you will find impeccable smartphone integration with either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to help you stay on top of whatever life throws at you. Keeping with the theme of luxury, the interior still includes the 64-color Ambient Lighting that we all know and love (no matter how hard it gets to choose a color), optional Active Lane Control, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Change Assist for those that decide to stay on the more manicured Port Jefferson roads in the all-terrain vehicle. Don’t be discouraged by all the cutting-edge technology though, Mercedes-Benz didn’t forget the good old’ comfy heated front seats. Performance Although you might expect this wagon to be a diesel, the car uses an equally powerful hybridized inline-six cylinder engine instead. Reinforcing 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque all into a 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission, Mercedes-Benz has exceptionally created an engine worthy of withstanding it all. EQ Boost, the 21-horsepower starter-generator, fills in low-end torque with an additional 184 pound-feet, resulting in faster reflexes and a faster acceleration despite the weight of the car. With AIR BODY CONTROL air suspension, the car feels comfortable no matter the distance you’re going. It’s minimum ground clearance is about two inches more than the 3.7 inches on the 2020 wagon, as well as the air suspension being able to raise it even higher than the regular E-Class making the car superbly versatile. Hooked already? So are we! Keep in touch with our Instagram to see when the 2021 E-Class All-Terrain hits our showroom in the Kings Park vicinity, or keep in contact with our Sales Department for more information regarding the wagon that’s on everybody’s minds.

The classy and highly advanced Mercedes-Benz E-Class is getting redesigned with new exterior styles and new powertrains. Available as a four-door sedan, two-door coupe or cabriolet, the E-Class can match any lifestyle. The E-Class is equipped with a variety of powertrains that range from entry-level four-cylinder to a plug-in hybrid or a turbocharged six-cylinder that produces 362 horsepower. We can expect to see the New 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-class and Mercedes-AMG E 53 in dealers at the end of this year. Car and Driver Magazine shares with us everything we need to know about the three new steering wheels with touch-sensitive technology that will be featured in the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The rims of the steering wheels have a two-zone sensor that can detect if the driver’s hands are on the wheel. Therefore, movement is not required to tell the vehicle’s driver-assist systems that the car is under control. In addition to these new high-tech sensors, the steering wheel is also equipped with touch-control buttons that are located on the spokes of the wheel. These touch-control buttons can be activated with digital signals.The new steering wheel has been designed in three different configurations; Sport, Luxury, and Supersport. The Supersport steering wheel (pictured above) is designed with a flat bottom and a three-spoke design. The Luxury steering wheel (pictured below) is designed with three spokes that Mercedes Benz says are meant to be shaped like the calla lily.Driver-assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and park assist have been updated for the 2021 E-Class as well.

The Mercedes-Benz EQS has been spied for the very first time! At Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown, we are very excited to hear that a new member will be joining out Mercedes-Benz lineup. It is said that the EQS will be an electric flagship counterpart to the next-generation S-Class but will ride on a newly developed platform. The new EQS looks longer than the S-Class, and it has more of an egg-like shape with a hatchback rear end. According to Car and Driver, the EQS will be the first car to use the new MEA platform, which has been specifically designed for EVs. We don't know much else about the platform or what exactly will power the EQS, but it should have a range of around 300 miles and at least one motor at each axle to provide all-wheel drive. The EQS's wheelbase looks extremely long, and along with the sweeping tall greenhouse, it should provide the car with a more expansive and open interior than the S-Class. There's still a ton we don't know about the EQS such as pricing and on-sale date, but we think the car should be revealed next year as a 2021 model, a few months after the S-Class.
