The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS is a top shelf SUV with excellent handling, a fabulous interior and substantial performance. How does it compare to the 2021 GMC Yukon, a huge SUV with Denali trim, turbo diesel option and state of the art gadgetry? Design & Style The GMC Yukon is a large and intimidating vehicle. A prominent honeycomb grille can be seen in front, with chrome that completely surrounds it. The LED lights are C-shaped and the matte/black surfaces look great, especially with the accents, skid plating and red colored tow hooks. Within the cabin, passengers will be treated to 10.2 inch displays with a gear selector that can be pushed or pulled. There is plenty of space and the dashboard is upright with authentic wooden trim. The Mercedes-Benz GLS has twenty inch wheels with a perfectly proportioned outer frame. Inside the cabin passengers will be presented with 12.3 inch displays and black leather seats and polished wooden surfaces. Technology & Safety Every Mercedes-Benz GLS is outfitted with emergency automated brakes as a standard feature, and it also has pedestrian detection, lane control, cruise control and multiple airbags. Luxuries within its cabin include powered seats that can be cooled or heated, premium Burmester audio, smartphone wireless charging and climate control. The GMC Yukon received a four star rating from the NHTSA, and it also has automated emergency brakes which are standard. Passengers will also be protected by a camera with surround view, towing assistance and multiple airbags. Comforts within its cabin include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, ventilated seats, a Bose sound system with nine speakers and climate control. Performance The GMC Yukon is without a doubt one of the most powerful SUVs on earth. It comes with a V8, 5.3 liter engine that can generate 355 horsepower with 383 pounds of torque. It can accelerate from zero to sixty in about 7 seconds, which isn’t bad for a vehicle of its bulk. The Mercedes-Benz GLS counters with a turbo 6 engine that can generate 362 horsepower, that operates in conjunction with a starter generator that is forty eight volts. The air suspension is well optimized and does a great job of smothering the grounds underneath. The Bottom Line Both SUVs are impressive and similar in many respects, but there can only be one king. Some feel the Yukon has too many options and uses too much chrome in its exterior, and since the Mercedes-Benz GLS surpasses the GMC Yukon when it comes to performance, it is the uncontested winner.

The 2021 Toyota Highlander is best known for its great fuel efficiency, sporty styling and standardized safety features. But how does it stack up against the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC, an SUV with marvelous looks, a refined interior and the newest technology? Design & Style The Mercedes-Benz GLC is one of the best looking SUVs we’ve seen in years. Its smooth exterior, sloping roofline and dazzling lights make it a real head turner. The cabin is rich in high end materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum, nappa leather seats and wooden trim that have been polished to perfection. Passengers will be able to control almost every aspect of the vehicle through the MBUX infotainment screen. The Toyota Highlander is distinctive for its trapezoidal grille and swollen side arches which amplify its visual appeal. The cabin is spacious with a dashboard that is tiered and 12.3 inch touchscreens, but plastic materials can be seen in some places. The seats are comfortable and there are storage containers for small items. Technology & Safety The Toyota Highlander has received an impressive 5 star rating from the NHTSA. It has all the modern safety features that drivers expect, including automated emergency brakes, LED lights, cruise and lane control, blind area monitoring, and automatic notifications when departing lanes. Luxuries within the cabin are extensive, and include 4 USB ports, powered and ventilated seats, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, ambient lights and a steering wheel which can be heated. The Mercedes-Benz GLC has captured the Top Safety Pick award. It has every feature found in the Toyota, including parking assistance, assistance when changing lanes and a camera with surround view. Luxuries within its cabin include keyless start, touch pads, voice command, seats that can be heated or cooled, and power lift gate. Performance Few SUVs can match the speed, acceleration or handling of the Mercedes-Benz GLC. Those that purchase the GLC 43 AMG® will get a V6, dual turbo engine that can generate 385 horsepower, enabling the vehicle to cruise from zero to sixty in just 4.7 seconds. The Toyota Highlander is also equipped with a V6 engine that is 3.5 liter and capable of generating 295 horsepower with 263 pounds of torque, that is wedded to an automatic eight speed transmission with the option of all or front wheel drive. It can tow up to five thousand pounds. The Bottom Line Though impressive in its own right, the Toyota Highlander has a tight third row, its performance is lackluster compared to the Mercedes-Benz, and low end plastic is present in some areas of the cabin, making the Mercedes-Benz GLC the winner.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLB is an impressive SUV across the board. It is spacious, rich in the latest technology, offers good handling and the seat in the second row slides. But can it surpass the 2021 BMW X2, a sport utility vehicle that has received praise for its expressive style, joyful handling and roomy interior? Design & Style The BMW X2 is easy on the eyes, especially when you get exterior colors like Magma Red or Sunset Orange. The roofline is slightly lower than the BMW X1, with a wider selection of hues. Within the cabin, the seats are nice and cushy with controls that are organized and readily accessible. Buyers get the option of multiple trims which can allow them to customize the cabin as they see fit. The Mercedes-Benz GLB is a crossover SUV with 3 rows and upright rectangular stance. The corners are spherical, with a cabin that is decked out in large displays, metallic trim, soothing leather seats and ambient lighting that comes in sixty four different shades. Technology & Safety The Mercedez-Benz GLB is equipped with all the latest and greatest safety features. These include standardized blind area monitoring, automated emergency brakes, cruise and lane control, tires that can run flat, parking assistance and a camera with surround view. Cabin amenities include keyless start, powered seats that can be heated or cooled, dual ten inch touchscreens and panoramic roof. While the BMW X2 has most of the safety features found in the Mercedes-Benz GLB, the IIHS did criticize it for its headlights, and some of its protective features are not available unless you purchase the Premium Package. Its cabin perks include climate control, Apple CarPlay, 8.8 inch displays and ventilated seats. Performance The BMW X2 offers respectable turbo 4 performance. Its engine is 2 liter and capable of generating 228 horsepower with 258 pounds of torque that is wedded to an eight speed automatic transmission. The Mercedes-Benz GLB is also equipped with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 221 horsepower with 258 pounds of torque. It has special padding which minimizes sound while operating and its shifting ability is quite impressive. The Bottom Line Though both SUVs are essentially tied when it comes to performance, the BMW’s headlights have received poor reviews from the IIHS, its cruise control is overpriced, and many of its safety features require you to spend extra, which is unacceptable given the necessity of protecting passengers from potential collisions and accidents, so the Mercedes-Benz GLB is the winner.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA is a sought after SUV, due to its fashionable interior, spacious and comfortable seats, and extensive technical options. But how does it compare to the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica, an award winning minivan that offers AWD, an array of safety tech, lots of space and a refined driving experience? Design & Style The latest edition of the Pacifica comes with a bigger grille, beautiful LEDs and a taller frame. It uses a dual box profile with revised taillights and seventeen inch wheels, with the option to upgrade to twenty inches. Inside, passengers will be presented with 10.1 inch displays with screens that are sharp and bright. Both the audio and climate controls are easy to access and use and buyers have many choices when it comes to upholstery colors and materials. The Mercedes-Benz GLA is taller and wider than previous generations, with an extended wheel base and hatchback proportions. The cabin features turbine like vents with surfaces that are covered in premium materials such as polished aluminum. It sits on twenty inch wheels and the seats are relaxing and the soothing to the touch. Technology & Safety The Mercedes-Benz GLA offers emergency automated brakes as a standard feature, along with lane control, driver assist, and blind area monitoring and automatic alerts for cross traffic in the rear. Its cruise control is adaptive and drivers will also have access to parking sensors and a camera with surround view. Interior luxuries are extensive, and include seven inch touchscreens, powered seats that can be adjusted eight ways, keyless ignition and entry, power lift gate, climate control and a steering wheel wrapped in leather. The Chrysler Pacifica has received a perfect five star NHTSA rating. It has a total of 8 airbags, lane and cruise control and a camera with surround view. It has 4 trim levels, with cabin comforts that include Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth® support, touchscreens and USB ports. Performance While most minivans aren’t known for their handling, acceleration and speed, the Chrysler Pacifica is an exception. It comes with a V6, 3.6 liter engine that can generate 287 horsepower that works in conjunction with an automatic nine speed transmission. Those that purchase the Mercedes-Benz AMG® GLA35 will receive a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 302 horsepower. The Bottom Line Like most minivans, the Chrysler Pacifica has lots of passenger space, but it has received criticism for its inadequate cargo space, which makes the Mercedes-Benz GLA the winner, since it offers a perfect balance between both.

The 2021 Tesla Model 3 has taken the automobile industry by storm, and for good reason. It’s fantastic appearance, breathtaking handling and bleeding edge technology almost place it in a league of its own. But is it good enough to compete with the 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS, a car widely considered one of the best in the world due to its refined presentation, opulent cabin and world class performance? Design & Style The Mercedes-Benz CLS is the quintessential 4 door sedan. It has a fast roofline with a smooth and sporty look further enhanced by its broad track, prominent alloy wheels and wide grille. The interior is ambient with a centralized touchscreen and seats so comfortable you won’t want to leave. The Tesla Model 3 has a windswept frame that is free of a frontal grille. Since it is an electric car that contains no engine the designers kept everything low. The roofline has a sleek arc that tapers along the sides, with beautifully accented door handles and a roomy cabin. Unlike most cars, which have lots of buttons, dials and controls in their interior, the Tesla forgoes this in favor of a fifteen inch horizontal screen. Technology & Safety The Tesla Model 3 has earned a Top Safety Pick award and 5 star NHTSA rating, a feat few cars will ever achieve. It has just about every modern safety feature that you can imagine, the most famous of which is Auto Pilot, which gives it a certain degree of autonomous operation. It accomplishes this through sensors, radar and cameras but can only be done briefly; meaning drivers shouldn’t keep their hands too far away from the steering. Luxuries within its cabin include climate control, powered seats, and premium audio, but it doesn’t support Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS has also received both the Top Safety Pick and five star NHTSA rating. It can automatically detect local speed limits and switch lanes on its own, plus it has emergency automated brakes with cruise and lane control. Luxuries within its cabin include ambient lighting, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, climate control and powered seats that can be heated or cooled. Performance Those that buy the Mercedes-Benz CLS 53 AMG® will get an inline 6 capable of generating 429 horsepower with 384 pounds of torque, which allows it to blaze from zero to sixty in about 4.3 seconds. Those that purchase the Tesla Model 3 Long Range edition will get a 450 horsepower engine that can accelerate from zero to sixty in 4.2 seconds. The Bottom Line Though the Tesla and Mercedes are evenly matched when it comes to safety and performance, the Tesla Model 3 makes too much noise, its cabin materials are inconsistent and it lacks Android Auto and Apple CarPlay despite the fact hundreds of millions of people around the world use both, making the Mercedes-Benz CLS the winner.

The 2021 Acura NSX is a true super car, with a marvelous engine and aerodynamic frame that allows it to move with incredible speed and agility. But what happens when it goes toe to toe with the 2021 Mercedes Benz AMG® GT, a muscular vehicle with earth shattering power, enough space to comfortably seat four and host of technical features? Design & Style The Mercedes Benz AMG® GT has a powerful fastback frame with the low, broad stance that is typical of super cars. The hood is extended with a shortened deck and 19 inch wheels underneath. The spoiler in the rear can be adjusted as desired and almost every surface in the cabin is covered in high end carbon fiber. The Acura NSX has a body and frame which resembles a sword. Visually, there can be no doubt that this car was built purely for performance. The grille in front is blacked out, with LED light strips and large wheels. Compared to the exterior, the cabin is rather subdued, with lots of leather wrapped surfaces and a button strip designed to manage the shifter. Technology & Safety The engineers at Acura put so much time, energy and money into making the NSX a powerhouse, but didn’t bother to incorporate standard safety features. For instance, it has no emergency automated brakes, blind area monitoring or cruise control. Luxuries within its cabin include the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, seven inch touchscreens, and leather upholstery. The Mercedes Benz AMG® GT has all the safety features that the NSX lacks, including automated emergency brakes, blind area monitoring, parking assistance, headlights which are adaptive, and it can automatically detect traffic signs while evading hazardous situations. Luxuries within its cabin include a Burmester sound system with fourteen speakers, 12.3 inch displays, a sunroof, smartphone charging and dampers which can be adjusted. Performance Those that purchase the Mercedes Benz AMG® GT with the dual turbo V8 engine will be able to generate 577 horsepower and accelerate from zero to sixty in just 3.3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 195 mph. The Acura NSX has a 573 horsepower engine that enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 191 mph. The Bottom Line While the Acura NSX is one of the most powerful cars on the planet, it sacrifices everything for that power. For example, whereas the Mercedes Benz AMG® GT seats 4, the NSX only seats 2, and it is completely devoid of most modern safety features, making it dangerous to drive, so the Mercedes Benz AMG® GT wins.

Introducing the Mercedes-Benz EQB from Mercedes-EQ! This all-terrain, all-electric SUV is scheduled to arrive during the last stretch of 2022. The EQB is based on the Mercedes-Benz midsize luxury crossover, the Mercedes-Benz GLB. The cabin and the chassis of the Mercedes-EQ EQB borrowed inspiration from the Mercedes-Benz GLB SUVs. The EQB is considerably heavier than the gas-powered muse: The Mercedes-Benz EQB from Mercedes-EQ is 4,800lbs. The base level of the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB weighs 3,638 lbs and can be as heavy as 3,869 lbs when outfitted with various trim levels. This weighty spec from Mercedes-EQ is welcomed news! This solid EV delivers a more settled ride for its passengers in comparison to the Mercedes-Benz GLB. This noticeably stable driving experience is also due to its fixed ratio transmission: which keeps the torque equivalent to a specified ratio upon power input. Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is excited to share that the Mercedes-Benz EQB from Mercedes-EQ has new EQ-exclusive colors and trim options. The newest Mercedes-Benz paint release, Rose Gold Metallic, is under the discretion of Gorden Wagener, the Chief Design Officer for all branding and sub-branding under Mercedes-Benz. Under Wagener’s experienced eye, the styling department also honed the Mercedes-Benz exterior with an even more sophisticated bodystyle. Fun fact! The modern selection of the rose gold paint is one of Gorden Wagener’s favorite colors. It is very important to know, the top speed in the Mercedes-EQ EQB is 99mph. All models and trim levels of this electric crossover are electronically limited to 99 miles per hour. It is also important to note that these electronic vehicles come standard with all-wheel drive, but there is a motor located at each axle and these vehicles are front-wheel biased. The reverse backup camera is hidden behind the Mercedes-Benz flip-up star emblem, which keeps the high-quality and crisp lens stay clean until utilization. With DC fast charging stations, the EQB can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 30 minutes. Every EQB model features: EQ-Specific Design Language High-Efficiency Front and Rear LED light bands Black Panel Grille MBUX Multimedia System with Augmented Reality Navigation System with Electric Intelligence 10.25” Digital Instrument Cluster 10.25” Touchscreen Multimedia Display Active Lane Keeping Assist Blind Spot Assist Active Brake Assist Power Liftgate 18” Alloy Wheels Reverse Backup Camera There are two trim levels in the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB by Mercedes-EQ: the Mercedes-Benz EQB 300 and the Mercedes-Benz EQB 350. The Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 4MATIC® by Mercedes-EQ goes 0-60mph in roughly 6-7.8 seconds and is accompanied by 288 horsepower and 388 lbs-ft of torque. The Mercedes-EQ EQB 300 has 225 horsepower and 288 lb-ft of torque. It is important to note that on all models and trim levels, there is third row seating available to be outfitted. If customers need a larger passenger capacity, fitment can be installed for up to 7 passengers. The Exclusive Trim features: All features from the Base Trim KEYLESS GO® Package Wireless Phone Charging NFC Pairing Premium Audio System Trimmed Door Panels Bright Metal Trim Available Rose Gold Interior Accents Automated Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection Dynamic Select Drive Modes Blind Spot Monitoring Forward Collision Warning Lane-Keeping Assist The Pinnacle Trim features: All features from the Base and Exclusive Trim Surround-view Camera System Burmester®* Sound System Panoramic Glass Roof Lane Departure Warning Lane-Centering Feature Semi-Autonomous Driving The 2023 Mercedes-AMG® EQE has no set price yet and little information in regards to charging capabilities, but additional details have been trickling in. Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown will keep all of our wonderful customers in the loop as we find out more. The 2023 Mercedes-AMG® EQE accentuates sportiness and is considered the electrified alternative to the conventional E-Class from Mercedes-Benz. The Mercedes-AMG® EQE has roughly 617horsepower and 701lb-ft of torque with a top speed of 137 mph. If you purchased this EV with the AMG® DYNAMIC PLUS package, it upgrades to 677 horsepower and 738lb-ft of torque, with a top speed of 149mph. The AMG® DYNAMIC PLUS Package boosts the Mercedes-AMG® EQE and goes 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds. As this model is manufactured in collaboration with AMG®, these vehicles harbor the AMG® Performance 4MATIC®+ system. The Mercedes-AMG® EQE has a spacious cabin and shares styling cues with the Mercedes-EQ EQS, but strays from expectations as the EQE has a trunk, versus the hatch style that you would find in the EQS. Fun Fact! While in the trunk, owners will be thrilled to find the covered extra storage space located on the floor of the trunk. This spot is perfect for charging cables, extra luggage, Mercedes-Benz accessories, or even more personal items as it is a covered, separate compartment. The Mercedes-AMG® EQE has a dashboard that can be trimmed with wood or with a sleek gloss-black trim. The Hyperscreen is optional, but if selected, 3 screens will paint themselves elegantly across over 56 inches of curved glass. The Heads-Up display is included in the Hyperscreen, and drivers can triangulate the 3 screens. The next-gen technology is impressive to say the least, giving drivers and passengers the option to display various navigation elements, ensuring the best driving experience possible. The passenger screen (found in front of the passenger on the digital dashboard) on the MBUX Hyperscreen has an AMG® screensaver when not in use. The passenger screen will deactivate and switch to a screensaver until the dedicated cameras track and confirm a passenger is seated. This is great to highlight as consumers worry about the next steps of such innovative technology; Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is very impressed with this new feature and safety feature! Fun Fact! Drivers and passengers can pick any picture they'd like to display on the passenger screen! Although the tell-tale signs of a Mercedes-EQ electric vehicle showcases a solid light bar and black gloss grille, the Mercedes-AMG® EQE lacks the solid light bar across the top of the grille, which can be found on the Mercedes-EQ EQS. Customers might not realize how much quieter electric motors are in comparison to the gas-powered counterpart. Swift yet silent, the Mercedes-AMG® EQE is noticeably inaudible. This is due to the location of the electronic battery, as well as due to the powertrain carrier. Both of these components are located within damped subframes, which reduces noise. Another reason for this EV’s stealth is the rerouted climate-control and plumbing for the vehicle’s cooling, which eliminates fluid-bubbling noises. Expanding on the silence that the Mercedes-AMG® EQE delivers, Mercedes-AMG® has created the AMG® Sound Experience. This auditory stimulation makes up for the natural occurrence of fossil-fueled acceleration. The engine start-up, race-start, drive-sound and engine shutdown all have dedicated virtual noises to mirror the expected noises found in gas-powered engines. This system uses special speakers, a bass actuator, and a sound generator to deliver the “trademark roar” that is expected when behind the wheel of an AMG®. When purchasing the Dynamic Plus Package, there is a new set of sounds titled “Performance.” Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown would like to emphasize once more the role AMG® has within this amazing car. The Mercedes-AMG® EQE comes with AMG®-specific electric motors, AMG® RIDE CONTROL+ suspension with adaptive adjustable damping, the aforementioned AMG® Sound Experience and an app that is available in the Apple App Store, “AMG® Track Pace MBUX App.” The door handles fold out from the body and when entering the vehicle and there is a specific invitation sound and welcome screen. When you start up the Mercedes-EQ EQE 53 4MATIC®+, the headlights activate and showcase the Mercedes-Benz star on one side, and the AMG® logo on the other headlight: The interior is a full Alcantara interior, with optional carbon fiber centering. There is also a wireless charging pad located in the center console with two additional USB-C connectors. As this is an AMG®, the seats are the renowned sporty AMG® seats with the classic metal AMG® logo. These seats have a Nappa leather option, which would match the Nappa leather wrapped steering wheel. Another next-gen, intriguing new feature is the electronic Dynamic Select Switcher which is located on the left side of the steering wheel. This cylindrical touch-screen button, which looks similar to a push-to-start button, not only allows the driver to switch between drive modes, but other features as well, such as raising the vehicle’s level, viewing the vehicle from the front or rear with the 3D view, the overall 3D view of the vehicle, Energy Glow, Charging, Drag Race and Track Race. The Mercedes-Benz EQ EQE SUV The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV from Mercedes-EQ is anticipated to launch in 2023. The world premiere of this EV SUV will take place on October 16, 2022. Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown will update our customers (and our informative webpage) as more details get released from Mercedes-EQ. The EQE is considered the "multi-purpose variant" sedan and has the most spacious cabin when it comes to headroom, legroom and elbow room, according to Mercedes-EQ. The ride height has also increased with a larger endurance for more difficult terrains. The interior of the Mercedes-Benz EQ EQE SUV borrows styling advice from the Mercedes-EQ EQS sedan. The MBUX Hyperscreen is an optional feature, but looks wonderful in combination with turbine-inspired outer vents, venting band that spreads itself across the dashboard to both of the driver doors, and the hybrid trim elements on the center console that samples real aluminum trimming. To put the cherry on top of luxury, there are integrated door openers on each front door. The 2022 EQS will be available in two trims: the 2022 EQS 450+ Sedan, a rear-driver powertrain model, and the EQS 580 4MATIC® Sedan, the all-wheel-drive model, featuring highly advanced technology, top-of-the-line luxury while delivering peak and optimum performance. The 2022 EQS models operate on an adaptive air suspension that allows the vehicle to automatically raise and lower itself, providing a smoother ride for its passengers. Moreover, the standard rear-axle-steering will enable the driver to maneuver the car in tight spots more efficiently while increasing stability at higher speeds. Powered by a 107.8-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the 2022 EQS models offer a driving range of approximately 478 miles. In addition, the cars utilize a 240-volt (Level 2) charger that will take about 11 hours and 15 minutes for the battery to charge fully and charge more efficiently while using a DC fast charger. When it comes to the interior of the 2022 EQS models, not a single detail is spared – featuring various luxurious features such as extensive ambient lighting, in-built massage functions while complementing with headrest pillows for both you and your passengers. The Hyperscreen steals the show as it is composed of a single 56-inch piece of gently curved glass, revolutionizing and integrating infotainment with artificial intelligence through an adaptive display and operating system. The Hyperscreen with the MBUX Infotainment System includes a 12.3-inch gauge cluster, 17.7-inch central touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch passenger touchscreen. Most importantly, the 2022 EQS will include the standard Mercedes-Benz driver-assistance technology such as the Parking Assist, Brake Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and so much more for your safety. We are waiting on the edge of our seats at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown to have a close-up look at the 2022 EQS models in person.

The wait is finally over!  The 2022 EQS from Mercedes-EQ has premiered around the world.  The 2022 EQS will be the first fully electric luxury sedan released by Mercedes-EQ. The 2022 EQS will be offered in both a rear-driver powertrain model which will be the 2022 EQS 450+ Sedan and an all-wheel-drive model which will be the 2022 EQS 580 (4MATIC®) Sedan.  Both models will feature highly advanced technology, top-of-the-line luxury, and peak performance.
