The 2019 version of the Infiniti QX80 is one athletic car for the sporty type. This car has an insulation inside which can work for anyone’s comfort.

Mercedes-Benz Media Newsroom USA shares with us everything we need to know about the New Mercedes-AMG GLA 35. Although Mercedes-Benz hasn't shared a vehicle release date yet, hearing about all the new designs and features of the GLA 35 makes us extremely excited. The Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 combines high-style and high-performance into a sporty crossover. Equipped with an AMG-enhanced engine; its high-torque 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine produces 302 horsepower which is variably distributed to all four wheels with its 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive. This highly versatile new Mercedes-AMG can accelerate from 0-60mph in 5.0 seconds. Exterior Design The AMG-specific radiator grille immediately shows that the model is part of the AMG family. Other highlights include the silver chrome trim in the outer air inlets and the front splitter. When viewed from the rear, the GLA 35 stands out due to its rear bumper with a new diffuser insert, AMG spoiler lip on the roof spoiler and two round tailpipe trims. The model is also equipped with 19-inch 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels. Interior Design High-tech ambience with fully-digital displays and an interior trim with a carbon-fiber-look and air vents that feature ambient lighting. MBUX infotainment system The two 10.25” displays are under one shared glass cover, ultimately making a Widescreen Cockpit as a central element of the interior of the model. The infotainment system has clear controls and appealing presentations with maximum-resolution 3D graphics. Operate the MBUX by use of the touchpad, Touch Control buttons on the steering wheel, voice control or even gesture control. Activate almost all commands that are common in the infotainment with voice control by saying the keyword “Hey Mercedes” AMG-specific displays Three AMG display styles for the instrument cluster are available including “Classic”, “Sport” and “Supersport.” The "Supersport" mode is particularly striking with a central, round rev counter and additional information presented in the form of bars to the left and right of the rev counter: with a three-dimensional perspective, they reach far into the background to an artificial horizon. Using the AMG menu, the driver can call up various special displays such as Warm-up, Set-up, G-Force and Engine Data. Turbocharged four-cylinder engine developing 302 horsepower The 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine has an immediate response to accelerator pedal commands and a high torque of 295 lb-ft maximum torque from 3000 rpm. The crankcase is made of high-strength, lightweight die-cast aluminum and helps reduce the vehicles overall weight. A twin-scroll exhaust gas turbocharger combines optimum responsiveness at low engine speeds with a strong power increase at higher speeds. AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 8G dual-clutch transmission The gear ratios have been designed in a way so the driver experiences immediate acceleration in all speed ranges, along with fast shift times and optimum connections during gear changes. The RACE-START function allows for maximum acceleration from stationary. AMG Performance 4MATIC variable all-wheel drive The torque distribution suits the dynamic handling requirements; the spectrum ranges from front-wheel drive only to a 50:50 percent distribution to the front and rear axles. A multi-disc clutch that is controlled electro-mechanically is responsible for variable torque distribution between the front and rear axles. An electro-mechanical control over an electro-hydraulic system allows for a more refined driving dynamic. Configurable vehicle characteristics: AMG DYNAMIC SELECT Equipped with five AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs including “Slippery”, “Comfort”, “Sport”, “Sport+” and “Individual” which offer a wide range of vehicle characteristics. The new "Slippery" drive program is optimized for low-grip, icy road conditions, with reduced power and a flat torque curve. Smooth gear changes and earlier upshifts support the driving impression characterized by stability. The "Comfort" mode stands for comfortable and fuel-efficient driving, for example thanks to early upshifts. Suspension and steering are set up for an emphasis on comfort. "Sport" and "Sport+" place the focus on agility and driving fun with sporty engine and transmission tuning. The "Individual" drive mode enables the individual parameters to be selected and saved according to personal preferences. In addition, the gliding function is available with the "Reduced" and "Moderate" drive settings. Since Mercedes-Benz has not released the release date for the Mercedes-AMG GLA 35, we will be sure to keep you updated with information on the new GLA 35! Visit our dealership and explore other new vehicles of the AMG Family. Stop by and test-drive new vehicles like the 2020 Mercedes-Benz C 43 AMG or the 2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43!

Automobile Magazine shared with us everything we need to know about the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB First Drive Review: The Not-So-Baby Benz Delights. The All-New Mercedes-Benz GLB SUV is a compact SUV with G-class-inspired styling that seats up to 7. Equipped with a turbocharged 2.0L Inline 4 Engine that produces 221 horsepower and 258-pound feet of torque. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB hits 0 to 60 mph in a Mercedes-Benz tested 6.9 seconds and has a top speed of 130 mph.Squeezed right between the GLA and the GLC, the GLB portrays itself as a more scaled-down GLS than a sportier, slightly smaller take on a compact GLC. Standard dual 7-inch or available 10.25-in high-resolution screens present reconfigurable instruments and multimedia visuals. The central display is designed as a touchscreen to make accessing features and settings as easy as possible.Standard features include 18 inch wheels, LED headlamps, Dual-Zone Climate Control, Keyless Start, Power Liftgate, Dynamic Select driving modes, Eight-way powered front seats with position memory, Multifunction leather steering wheel, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For an extra $2,000, customers can add 4Matic All-Wheel Drive, which can now send up to 50% of engine torque to its rear wheels.However, the GLB falls short with its available seven seats. Mercedes-Benz designed the GLB with a pop-up third-row bench for when it is needed. The third row seats fall short with room for passengers to comfortably sit. The GLB is said to actually have 10% more cargo space than the pricier GLC. Its 62 cubic feet of seats-folded down cargo space easily tops its class, with about 40% more space than you'll find in the Mercedes-Benz' smaller GLA.The spacious and finely designed interior of the GLB is one of its high points. A rounded lower dash with MBUX screens located in a dashboard crevice. For an additional $310 you can get 64-color ambient lighting to match whatever mood you are feeling. For an additional $300, Mercedes-Benz Interior Assistant feature can help you without you even having to ask. For example, when reaching for something in the console area in the dark, the interior assistant feature will illuminate the area for you. The Augmented Reality for Navigation feature automatically beams a real-time camera view of upcoming turns or exists onto the windshield, and overlays it with directional arrows or street names. When taken for a test-drive, drivers feel the GLB was designed to tamp down aggressiveness, while still showing a beautiful feel for the road. The GLB is designed to fit the desires and lifestyles of aspiring families. The GLB is expected to reach showrooms just in time for the holidays. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB will be arriving at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown soon! Contact us for more information and follow our page to stay to date!

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class continues to enjoy its world-class status especially in the world of interior design. While it does not carry any major changes, you will still be delighted with its long list of features. In the case of the 2019 Jaguar XJ, you will notice a blend of supercharged engines to support agile handling. Like the S-Class, it does not carry any major changes. Design & Style The 2019 Mercedes Benz S-Class has a classy and sporty exterior. It has plenty of room to accommodate five passengers comfortably. The cabin is styled using the most excellent set of materials. All surfaces are soft to the touch and are captivating to the eyes. You can even choose to expand cargo space, depending on the trim level that you will purchase. With a room to carry five, the four-door XJ is also praised for having a quiet cabin. It has comfortable leather seats with ventilating and heating capacities. Front seats are narrow for this car though, plus there can be a problem with its limited headroom. While it uses great quality materials for cabin construction, it lacks the level of class that its rivals exude, especially because the dash is filled with unnecessary hardware and materials. Technology & Safety The 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is gifted with a spectacular pairing of a 12.3-inch display and the COMAND® infotainment system. It does not have a touchscreen interface but there are controls that can be used to access the interface easily. It also supports smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The list of driver aids includes driver drowsiness monitoring, forward collision warning, and lane-keep assist. The 2019 XJ carries the InControl Touch Pro infotainment system, but this interface is complicated to work with. It is outdated and does not even integrate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For your safety, this Jaguar model comes with driver condition monitor, cruise control, traffic sign recognition, rain-sensing windshield wipers, rear cross-traffic alert, active blind spot assist, and emergency brake assist, among others. Performance The 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has a 3.0-liter, V6 engine that can accumulate up to as much as 362 in terms of horsepower. The XJ’S six-cylinder engine, on the other hand, generates only up to 340 horsepower. It is not as fuel-efficient as that of the S-Class as well. The Bottom Line Considering all the factors discussed above, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class indeed gives the 2019 Jaguar XJ a hard time dominating the market for luxury cars. The S-Class is elegant with plenty of technology and safety features to offer. It has a fuel-efficient and powerful engine to serve the needs of car lovers out there.
