2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. 2020 Lincoln Continental

Learn More View Inventory Contact Us The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has more to offer than just physical appeal alone. The E-Class performs remarkably with various dynamic powertrain options. Its cabin is also styled in a lush concept and has seats that are well-bolstered to last over long distances. Do you think the 2020 Lincoln Continental has what it takes to rival against the E-Class? Find out more below. Design & Style The Mercedes-Benz E-Class can easily fit up to 5 people in its cabin which is full of room. This ensures adequate leg- and headroom are offered even to taller passengers and drivers to last throughout long drives. The E-Class has seats that are spacious at both its front and back rows which are upholstered in synthetic leather. Its cabin has a style that leans towards the concept of luxury with deluxe materials seen adorning most of its surfaces and sides. The 2020 Lincoln Continental is able to accommodate 5 people in its spacious cabin that offers adequate legroom at the back row but with a slight lack of headroom for taller passengers. Its front row has seats that can be adjusted where legroom may be an issue for some. The car’s interior looks generally stunning with premium quality materials lining its edges to finish off its sleek outlook. Some have deemed the overall layout to appear as sloppy though for its price margin. Technology & Safety The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has a cabin that is furnished with a wide array of tech features such as a 12.3-inch screen, its COMAND system, Android/Apple compatibility, USB ports, navigation, HD radio, and *Bluetooth connectivity. Safety features are also aplenty which comprise of rain-sensing wipers, rearview camera, brake assist, attentiveness monitor, emergency brake and crosswind assists, pre-collision protection, and its own Car-to-X platform for communication with other Mercedes-Benz drivers. The 2020 Lincoln Continental comes with various tech devices like its SYNC 3 system, 8-inch touchscreen, Android/Apple compatibility, satellite radio, 10 speakers, climate control, remote start, and keyless entry. For safety, the Lincoln Continental has cruise control, rear traffic alert, blind spot monitor, rain-sensing wipers, auto high beams, collision warning, auto emergency brakes, lane keep and departure assists, rearview camera, and adaptive headlamps. Performance The Mercedes-Benz E-Class can produce 235 horsepower and 273 lbft of torque on a 2L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Its fuel economy can reach at least 23 mpg while in cities and 32 mpg on highways. The 2020 Lincoln Continental is able to put out 305 horsepower on a 3.7L V6 with fuel economy ratings of 17 mpg and 26 mpg in cities and on highways respectively. The Bottom Line The Mercedes-Benz E-Class makes it so much simpler to derive with a decision. It offers the entirety within a package of comfort, space, design, and performance. The price tag is worth what you are paying for under its standard combo. The 2020 Lincoln Continental does not come close with a lack on various aspects of its car such as its poor fuel efficiency, sloppy interior quality, and insignificant steering feedback.

How to Clean The Interior of Your Vehicle

The best ways to prevent COVID-19 is to stay home and practice social distancing. However, many of us here on Long Island still need to leave our homes. Whether it be for work or a trip to the supermarket, there are a few things we can do to help prevent the spread of germs and diseases like the coronavirus.Professionals say washing our hands frequently and avoiding touching our faces can help lower the spread of COVID-19. However, be sure to also clean the things you touch frequently. Here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown, we compiled a list of helpful tips when it comes to sanitizing your vehicle. Utilize Soap and Water When it comes to fighting germs, using soap and water is highly recommended when cleaning your vehicle’s interior. Autoblog shares with us that the trick is to avoid any cleaners that are labeled as being free of detergents. For those with leather interiors, makeup removal wipes are a great alternative. Now that may sound a bit odd but, skin care products usually contain moisturizers which is great for organic trim materials. Be aware of which cleaning products you will be using to clean the inside of your vehicle. Staying clean and getting rid of germs is extremely important right now, however you do not want to ruin the interior of your car! Feel free to contact us or schedule an appointment at our Mercedes-Benz Service Center. We offer exterior and interior detailing services. Scrub Your Interior Use disinfectant wipes or soapy water to thoroughly scrub the hard surfaces inside of your vehicle. Areas around the driver’s seat and passenger seat like the windows and center console should be cleaned extremely well. These areas are more likely to be hit with droplets when a person is to sneeze or cough. Don’t Forget About High-Touch Surfaces Areas like door handles, audio controls, seatbelts, mirrors, climate controls, steering wheels, etc. should be cleaned extremely well since these areas are frequently touched. Don’t forget to clean your MBUX touch-screen infotainment system if you have one in your Mercedes-Benz! Soft Surfaces The CDC recommends using a cleaner that is appropriate for whatever material is being cleaned. For example, if you are cleaning leather, you would want to use a Leather Cleaner or Vinyl Cleaner. For vehicle carpets and upholstery, it would be wise to use carpet or upholstery cleaner. Contact our Parts Center if you need help finding the cleaning product that is right for your vehicle. Use Rubber Gloves When cleaning your vehicle, we recommend using disposable gloves as they help prevent the spread of viruses such as COVID-19. After cleaning, be sure to dispose of your gloves and wash your hands thoroughly. Stay safe and healthy. We are still available to help you with all your vehicle needs! Being an essential business, our Service Department remains open and is offering vehicle pickup and delivery services along with full vehicle sanitization. Our Sales Department is working remotely and is still available to assist you! Contact us or schedule a service online. Our team here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is looking forward to assisting you.

When Should You Put On Summer Tires in New York?

Your safety depends a whole lot on the condition of your tires. Your tires give you the ability to grip the road, make safe turns, and stop in a safe amount of time. Now that Spring is finally here, you may be asking yourself "when is the best time to make the switch from Winter Tires to Summer Tires?" Winter Tires Winter tires perform best in temperatures below 45 degrees in areas with cold, snowy and icy weather conditions. In order to maintain grip on slippery roads, winter tires are designed to stay soft in colder temperatures. Using Winter Tires in warm and dry weather conditions will wear the tread. It is important to change from winter tires to summer tires during the summer time to maintain the condition of your Winter Tires for future use. Summer Tires/ All-Season Tires With April just around the corner, we should expect temperatures to begin to rise here on Long Island. All-season and Summer Tires perform best when temperatures are above 45 degrees and should only be used in warm, dry and mildly wet weather conditions. These tires are designed to give drivers a more comfortable ride in the summer time.

Mercedes-Benz – Where Luxury Comes Standard

Newsday shares with us Auto review: Mercedes-Benz introduces another affordable SUV for 2020 by Larry Printz. Mercedes-Benz has expanded their portfolio of lower-priced front-wheel-drive vehicles which include the GLA, CLA, A-Class and the New 2020 GLB 250 4Matic which makes some question whether or not the Mercedes-Benz brand is losing their luxury vehicle status. However, when you take a closer look at the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4Matic as an example, one will realize luxury comes as standard no matter the model and all its optional additional features. The front-wheel-drive GLB 250 starts at $36,000. Upgrade the GLB 250 with additional features like AMG sport steering wheel, leather seats, heated and ventilated seats, wireless charging mat, and much more and the GLB comes to around $57,475.The GLB 250 can be an affordable vehicle if one turns down all the extra additional features. However, Larry Printz was unsure what to expect from the GLB 250 without all these extra features. He wondered if the model would still be a luxury vehicle without the $17,880 worth of luxurious and high-tech additions. “Climbing inside the cabin, front seat occupants are greeted by the same long twin screen display seen in tonier siblings. It's dazzling and helps offset the sea of hard plastic surfaces that diminish the interior's opulent touches, one of which is the new version of the Mercedes-Benz User Experience infotainment software. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and it's far more intuitive to use than the old version.”“The GLB 250 comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 221 horsepower and paired with a newly developed eight-speed dual clutch transmission to the front wheels, or all four if your order the optional 4Matic option. The new GLB makes the most of its available power thanks to the new eight-speed dual clutch transmission, which always seems to be in the proper gear, although paddle shifters on the steering wheel are there if you want to quickly shift. The all-wheel drive works invisibly, with no interaction needed from the driver.” “One drive and you'll understand that the GLB 250 is no pretend Mercedes-Benz.” All in all, Mercedes-Benz provides drivers with a luxurious experience no matter the model and the choice of additional features. Stop by Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown and explore our large inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles. Test-drive vehicles like the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 or the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250.

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC vs. 2019 Infiniti QX30

Learn More View Inventory Contact Us The new 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC makes other luxuries compact crossover pale in comparison with the addition of cutting-edge technology on the already tech-forward personality. It “talks back” with Artificial Intelligence technology on the improved MBUX. This luxury ride defines how a premium car should look, feel and act. The 2019 Infiniti QX30 is also a stunning compact SUV. Its sprightliness, however, is compromised a lot by its cramped interior. It may have the underpinnings of a German luxury vehicle but being on the small side making it challenging to encourage SUV buyers to choose the QX30. Design & Style The GLC has inherited its good looks from its predecessors. The curvaceous nose is fitted with new bumpers and grille. Its sporty stance is made prominent by the off-road engineering package it got for this model year. The exterior promises the finer things and it clearly shows in the cabin. The flowing interior looks expensive, roomy, and flexible. Since Infiniti collaborated with Mercedes-Benz for the QX30 and GLA’s design, it is not a surprise that there are some striking similarities between the QX30 and the GLC’s compact SUV sibling. Its curvy exterior, however, is wasted because the cabin styling does not do the QX30 justice. It looks cold and boring. Sure there are modern touches, thanks to the inspiration provided by the GLA, but the dashboard looks very dated, to say the least. Technology & Safety There is a wide array of tech features that many people would find interesting in the new GLC. What seems to be the best part of it is the AI technology on the improved MBUX. It responds to natural language so drivers can literally just say the commands, however, he likes it, and the GLC will understand and respond. When looking for a restaurant, for example, you do not need to manually search for places. The user only needs to say “I’m hungry” and the GLC will locate the nearest restaurants in the area for you. Again, the GLA is the inspiration behind the design of the infotainment system on the QX30. It is, however, lacking the same advanced features that Smartphone connectivity is limited to *Bluetooth and USB connection only. Performance With its 255 hp engine, the GLC is sure to fire upon the road, whether it is on city streets or off the road. Its driving character can range from an easygoing ECO mode to a more enthusiastic Sport mode. You can even set up the driving profile according to your style. All trims of the QX30 are powered by a 208-hp engine. It has sharp handling that allows you to take it on trails but the acceleration response is quite lazy. The Bottom Line The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC is a display of true luxury. It has the looks, the technology, and power, to make the 2019 Infinity QX30 and other rivals look green with envy. Ready to Schedule a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC Test Drive Today?

The modes modify the response of the engine, transmission, suspension and steering. "Comfort": comfortable and fuel-efficient driving, e.g. thanks to early upshifts. Suspension and steering are set up for an emphasis on comfort. "Sport": sporty characteristics thanks to more agile response to accelerator pedal commands, shorter shift times, earlier and more precise downshifts owing to double-declutching. More dynamic suspension setup. "Sport+": extremely sporty characteristics thanks to an even more agile throttle response, double-declutching on downshifts and targeted torque interventions on upshifts with cylinder deactivation for optimized shift times. Increased idle speed for faster pulling away. An even more dynamic setup for suspension, steering and powertrain.
