2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA vs. 2022 Audi A4

Learn More View Inventory Contact Us Sometimes, the differences between two things are more striking than the things themselves. Case in point, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA and 2022 Audi A4 models, both of which are top choices in their class. But there are some specific aspects that help separate these two vehicles, making one of them your best bet over the other one. Read on to learn more about what makes the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA so special and how it stands out as your new car option. Design & Style Exterior Design It would be an understatement to say that the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA has better styling than its rivals; in fact, it’s not even a contest. While both models come with sleek and beautiful exteriors, they don’t match up to our featured car from Benz. The front grille is clean and sharp, giving it a design that is at once classic yet still trendy for its class; sharp headlights ensure excellent visibility even on dark nights (although neither model has any advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control or emergency braking). From every angle, you get a sense of quality craftsmanship—this is one car that will last for years to come without losing its gleam. Interior Design The 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA takes it one step further than its competition by offering optional four-passenger seating, making it a great option for buyers with children or those who like more room. The 2022 Audi A4, on the other hand, does not offer an equivalent configuration and only comes in five-seat models as standard equipment. Technology & Safety Both luxury cars have standard forward collision warning, but only the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA has automatic emergency braking (AEB) and adaptive cruise control with stop/start to avoid rear-end collisions and maintain a set following distance in traffic. In addition, by adding an optional driver assistance package, you can enjoy a blind spot monitoring system. Performance Both cars have equal engine and transmission specifications which should not be a deciding factor when choosing between these two models, but if you are looking for more torque, then get the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA as it has 173 lb.-ft. to 82 lb.-ft. of torque while 2022 Audi A4 only has 147 lb.-ft., 1 mph faster than 2022 MB CLA but still less than MB CLA, so if you like more power in your car, then go with 2022 Mercedes Benz CLAs 6 cylinder engine of 208 horsepower and 191 ft/lb torque that will push it from 0-60 mph in 6 seconds beating out 8-speed automatic transmission for better gas mileage. The Bottom Line There’s a lot more to love about the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA besides its looks, including surprising safety features and cutting-edge performance technology that’s easy for drivers of all skill levels to use. While there are many similarities between these two luxury cars, you’ll find that where they diverge is in their real distinguishing factors - like those you can’t see from afar but are apparent once behind the wheel. When it comes down to who offers more bang for your buck - or your hard-earned dollars, which car truly tops? The2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA! Ready to Schedule a 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA Test Drive Today?

How To Clean Your Mercedes-Benz Auto Interior

Clearly, if you own a Mercedes-Benz, you care enough to look after the interior properly. That means keeping it clean. In addition to wanting your Mercedes-Benz interior to look fabulous, lately keeping things clean has taken on a whole new meaning – courtesy of the coronavirus (COVID-19). More now than ever, people are cleaning and disinfecting surfaces to the nth degree. In fact, for the interior of transport vehicles, specific cleaning and disinfecting guidelines by the CDC have been published. Whether you’re simply running a few errands or have decided to venture out on a long-awaited getaway, the inside of your vehicle will get dirty and need attention. To prevent the spread of germs and to help your vehicle look its best, let's explore precisely how to clean your Mercedes-Benz auto interior. Interior Scrubbing To thoroughly scrub your interior’s hard surfaces, use soapy water or disinfectant wipes. The center console, windows, and other areas around the passenger and driver’s seat should be cleaned using special attention. The reason: When a person coughs or sneezes, droplets are far more likely to hit areas such as these. Those droplets spread disease. Softer Surfaces When cleaning soft surfaces inside your vehicle, consider the material you're working with. You can use a vinyl cleaner or leather cleaner if the interior of your vehicle is leather. Use upholstery cleaner or carpet cleaner for cloth upholstery and your vehicle’s carpets. When in doubt, you can always contact Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown and speak to someone from our parts center. High Touch Surfaces Need Attention High touch surfaces are exactly what you would expect them to be. They are the surfaces (in your car’s interior) that get touched most often. Think of steering wheels, climate controls, mirrors, seatbelts, audio controls, door handles, etc. Because they are frequently touched, these areas must be cleaned extremely well. If you have a touchscreen infotainment system in your Mercedes-Benz, don't forget to clean it. That gets touched a lot! Best Supplies To Use Soap and water are highly recommended when it comes to fighting germs and cleaning the interior of your vehicle. However, cleaners that are labeled "free of detergents'' should be avoided. Makeup remover wipes are actually a good alternative for those with leather interiors. As strange as that may sound, moisturizers are usually contained within skincare products. For organic trim materials, that's good news. When it comes to cleaning the inside of your vehicle, the cleaning products you use should be chosen carefully. Right now, it's extremely important to get rid of germs as well as stay clean. However, to do so, you don't want the interior of your car to be ruined. Best case scenario – have the inside of your car detailed at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown. Count on Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown For Detailing Your Mercedes-Benz Are you concerned that you may not be able to get the interior of your Mercedes-Benz as clean as you'd like? Are you even more worried that you may ruin your beautiful upholstery? We have the solution.

Are Factory Windshields Better?

For many drivers, a damaged windshield is often overlooked or not considered a priority. However, driving with a chipped or cracked windshield increases your chances of getting into an accident or getting pulled over and fined. If not addressed quickly, a small chip or crack can turn into irreparable damage that calls for a more expensive windshield replacement on Long Island. This article highlights the benefits of scheduling a windshield repair service and how it impacts your safety. Protects the integrity of your vehicle Your car’s windshield is one of the most important structural features that keep you and your passengers safe. An undamaged windshield maintains the structural integrity of your vehicle and helps airbags deploy properly in the event of a crash or roll-over. A damaged windshield increases the risk of the glass shattering during an accident, a situation that can potentially cause more harm to you and your passengers. Scheduling a windshield repair protects the integrity of your vehicle and ensures your safety on the road. OEM Auto Glass OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. OEM auto glass is fabricated by the same manufacturer that provided the original glass the automaker placed in your vehicle. In essence, you should be getting an almost identical windshield to the factory auto glass your Mercedes-Benz  came with when it rolled off the assembly line. OEM glass also has special  Mercedes-Benz branding on it. Quality standards set forth by Mercede-Benz are met. Mercedes-Benz USA has also announced that it strongly recommends using OEM glass for windshield replacements. The automaker’s position statement says, “Aftermarket glass often does not account for complex electrical components and may interfere with your vehicle’s electronic systems, or cause these electronic systems to not function properly.” The statement also provides guidance for recalibration of on-board systems and ADAS. ADAS Systems ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems  and are designed to increase the drivers safety. They include technology such as collision avoidance, surround view, lane-departure warning, cross traffic alert, park assist, and heads-up displays. ADAS was seen as an upgrade for higher-end vehicles but is now becoming more standard in most makes and models. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is requiring ADAS to be standard in newly manufactured vehicles. Where to go for help? Here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown we highly recommend that you should only use Mercedes-Benz technicians to repair or replace your windshield using only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts. Our highly qualified, factory trained technicians are dedicated to providing our customers with the most exceptional and professional service. Our technicians use only the best Genuine OEM Parts and are committed to ensure that your Mercedes-Benz is always running safely and at its best.   Stop by Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown and explore our large inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles!
