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!*

Most people associate Mercedes-Benz vehicles with AMG however, AMG is not exactly the same as Mercedes-Benz. If you’re one of those people who don't know the difference, it’s okay! Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG share many similarities as well as many differences. Our team at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is here to clear things up for you. What Does AMG Stand For? AMG is short for Aufecht, Melcher, and Großaspach, the division of Mercedes-Benz that produces performance vehicles with a sporting heritage, assertive style, and the promise of pure exhilaration. History of AMG In 1967, Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher founded AMG in an old mill in Burgstall, Germany. Nine years later, Mercedes-AMG and about a dozen employees found their new home in a purpose-built workshop and office space in the town of Affalterbach. To this day, they continue to develop Mercedes-AMG vehicles and, over 50 years later, their passion and commitment to driving performance is as strong as the day it started. Difference Between Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG Most of the vehicles this team produces are similar to standard Mercedes-Benz models however, these AMG vehicles are equipped and designed with advanced engines, aerodynamic bodies, and high-speed capabilities. Many of these one of a kind Mercedes-AMG engines are hand-built from start to finish. Whenever Mercedes-Benz launches a new line of vehicles, the AMG team collaborates and incorporates AMG engines and technologies into those vehicles; ultimately creating a more powerful and versatile model.   Stop by Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown and explore our large inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles. Test-drive vehicles like the New 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC 43 AMG or the New 2020 Mercedes-Benz C 43 AMG. Schedule a service online or contact us with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to seeing you at our Mercedes-Benz dealership located at 630 Middle Country Road, Saint James, NY!

We’ve all been there. Driving, running errands, whether it be shopping at the Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove, doing our groceries at Uncle Giuseppe’s in Smithtown, or even grabbing a bite at Maureen's Kitchen, when suddenly our dashboard illuminates a warning symbol. Fifty percent of people ignore said warning light to worry about it at a later time, while the other fifty percent of people rush to their web browser on their IPhone or Android to find out what could possibly have gone awry in their GLA 250, GLC 300, C 300, or even their E 450. If you are one of the latter fifty percent of people, you are in luck! We’re here to diminish your curiosity. Tire Pressure Light In the case that this light appears on your dashboard, it simply means that one (or multiple) of your tires has low pressure. On newer cars in the fleet, your dash can even tell you what tire pressure each of your tires is currently at, helping you find out which one needs more air. Similarly, if your tire pressure is extremely low, you know that you may have a flat tire. Call Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance (1-800- 367-6372) to help you get a tow to bring your car to the Service Department for repair. Gas Light The appearance of this warning light indicates that your vehicle’s fuel or gas level is getting low. The great thing for those that have the helpful “Hey Mercedes” feature, is that you can ask the system to take you to the nearest gas station, or even a gas station on your way home. For example, you can say “Hey Mercedes, take me to the nearest King’s Park gas station.” and she will figure out which is closest to you! Check Engine Light It may look like a submarine, but this is a check engine light. This could be a problem with your engine system,the fuel injection system, the exhaust, or even the ignition system. When this light comes on, you should take your vehicle into our Service Department in the Selden vicinity to get looked at. Seat Belt Indicator This one is one of the easier signs to recognize, you may have even seen it this morning when you accidentally forgot to put your seatbelt on while rushing to get to your dentist appointment in Hauppauge! Simply putting your (and your passenger’s) seat belt on does away with the warning light’s appearance . Battery Light This warning means that the battery is not being charged, or that it has lost its charge in your vehicle. You may require a jump start on your vehicle or even to replace the battery. Have one of our staff members from our Service Department help you with a Diagnosis to see what is specifically needed. Airbag Light The airbag light means that your SRS system may have a fault. This SRS malfunction could result in your airbag not being properly deployed if at all,  in case of any accident or emergency. It is recommended that you see our Service Department for a Diagnosis to prevent any danger that could result from the absence of a functional airbag in your vehicle. Brake Wear Light The brake wear light signifies that your brake rotors or pads are worn, and are in need of replacing. Parking Brake Light The Parking Brake light is as simple as it may sound, your parking brake is in place. Many of those that live in the sloped areas of Saint James leave this on accidentally when parking in the street. If driving, release the parking brake so as to not damage your brake system or your vehicle. Coolant Light This light could mean that either your vehicle’s coolant leve l is low, or that there could be an issue with the coolant system. Overheating could be possible. Seek the Service Department to inquire about the necessary cautions to take for you and your vehicle’s safety. ABS Light The ABS Light signifies that your ABS brake system has a malfunction. You will still be able to start and stop, though extra functions may be limited such as the Electronic Stability Program, Brake Assist, and Anti-Locking, on your brake system. ESP/ESC Light This light indicates that the Electronic Stability Program/ Electronic Stability Control functions are limited, meaning that when making turns, skidding on slippery surfaces, or even just braking, you do not have the extra stability that the ESP program provides. These warning lights are the most common that appear on dashboards for Centereach, Smithtown, Coram, East Setauket, Port Jefferson, Islandia, and surrounding areas’ driver's vehicles. Should you have any more questions, concerns, trouble setting up an appointment for your vehicle’s concern , or even if you see a light that doesn’t appear on this list, feel free to contact our Service Department to have someone assist you with your worries.

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.
