Info on the next S-Class, plus EVs, SUVs, and more. Mercedes-Benz plans to offer 130 electrified models by 2030, which means lots more EVs, plug-in hybrids, and traditional hybrids are on the way. The budget for this mammoth effort is in the area of $39.7 billion, which includes a $28.4 billion investment in battery technology. Let’s take a year-by-year look at how this aggressive game plan will likely affect the short- to mid-term product portfolio. 2019 Coming this year are the facelifted GLC compact SUV, the brand-new GLS full-size SUV, the AMG® A 35, and the all-new redesigned CLA. Also on the horizon are the chunky GLB small SUV, which will be available with seven seats, a new GLE that will include a plug-in sporting 60 miles of range, and the all-electric EQC. When Dieter Zetsche steps down in May to make room for Ola Källenius, Markus Schäfer will reportedly become the new R&D chief. This year is only the beginning of a very busy period in Stuttgart, however. 2020 Mercedes-Benz will start 2020 by launching the next-generation GLE coupe. Also due in spring is the facelifted E-Class, which gets the latest edition of MBUX together with numerous styling changes and a broader hybrid portfolio. Additional debuts include the AMG® GT four-door plug-in variant with an electric range of 60 miles, the tarted-up Maybach edition of the full-size GLS, and the second-generation GLA compact crossover, which takes on more of a traditional SUV form factor and is a lot more spacious. On the exclusively electric side of things, the five-door compact EQA (rendered above) will appear by summer. Good for a zero-emission range of up to 250 miles, the stylish EQA and the bigger, taller, and more purposeful EQB will be offered with three different battery sizes from 60 to 110 kWh and with electric motors in 150-kW (201-hp), 200-kW (268 hp), and 250-kW (335-hp) strengths. Like the EQC crossover, the EQA and EQB are based on the EVA1 framework, which uses elements of the GLC platform. More sophisticated bespoke EQ versions for which Mercedes-Benz has already obtained trademarks are EQE (a full-size model in both sedan and CUV flavors), EQS (the electric analog to the S-Class), and EQG (full-size SUV). The Next S-Class Also Arrives in 2020 The biggest splash the three-pointed star has planned for 2020 is of course the next S-Class, which gets a fully digital cockpit, high-tech seats, more aggressive rear-wheel steering designed for much improved maneuverability, and a remarkably pretty and aerodynamically efficient body with concealed door handles. In terms of body styles, the next S-Class will come in standard- and long-wheelbase forms, as well as Pullman, but unfortunately will not offer the strikingly beautiful four-door coupe model that was under consideration. That one would have sat on the longer wheelbase. The ostentatious Maybach sedan range will transfer to the new platform a few years later, in 2023. Launched in 2014 and 2016, the S-Class coupe and convertible will soldier on way into the next decade, but due to a lack of demand they will not be replaced. SL and AMG® GT One of the most interesting new 2020 arrivals should be the eighth-generation SL, which will be mechanically paired with the second-generation AMG® GT coupe and roadster. (The smaller SLC has been confirmed as dead.) The 2+2 SL and two-seat AMG® GT share a new aluminum architecture that is light and stiff enough to allow both roadsters to feature canvas roofs. The price paid for this synergy, though, is the departure of the coveted rear-transaxle layout used on the current version of the AMG® GT (shown above). On the bright side, mating engine and transmission makes room for the fitment of 4MATIC® all-wheel drive. Electrification plays a big role in the gestation of the two sports cars, with the development being handled by AMG®. While a plug-in-hybrid powertrain model will provide an all-electric range of 30 miles, the EQ boost technology reserved for the top-of-the-line AMG® GT boasts a 250-kW (335-hp) electric power pack that straddles the differential. According to the Affalterbach grapevine, the batteries and electric hardware will provide almost exactly the same weight distribution as the transaxle layout. While the AMG® keeps its trademark V-8, the remaining models make do with Mercedes-Benz’ latest straight-six (plus electrification) and the turbocharged four-cylinder. 2021 and Beyond: New C- and E-Classes, Plus the Spectacular EQS Early in 2021, Mercedes-Benz will unleash the new C-Class, first as a sedan and then later in the year as station wagon. The coupe and convertible will return, as well, but there will be no additions to the range like the proposed shooting-brake-style CLT. Mild hybrid powertrains are standard and the plug-ins will sport emissions-free ranges of up to 60 miles, but the V-8 will reportedly be phased out in AMG® models. Based on the modular MRA rear-wheel-drive architecture, the future C-Class may well be the last of its kind. Why? Because Mercedes-Benz has already kicked off the first of two convergence programs designed to eventually fuse its internal-combustion, fully electric, and plug-in-hybrid vehicle lines into one lineup that will span from A-Class to S-Class on the car side and from the GLA to the GLS on the SUV side. For now, at the upper end of the size and price range, bespoke models riding on the EVA2 electric-vehicle platform will include the grandiose EQS (an artist’s rendering of which is shown at the top of this post)—an S-Class like no other, it must hardly be said—the more affordable EQE (sedan only, shown above in an artist’s rendering), and the aforementioned EQG which will be offered in both more rugged SUV and less aggressive crossover body styles. The EQE and EQG are set to arrive in 2022 together with the facelifted A-Class and the entirely conventional GLC replacement. Due in March 2023, the next E-Class will once again be able to be spec’d as either a no-frills commuter car or as a downsized all-in pseudo S-Class. Sadly, Mercedes-Benz does not plan to replace the E coupe and cabrio, which is another way of saying that of you want a two-door Mercedes-Benz, the next C-Class will eventually be your only option. The fates of the bigger E- and S-Class models were sealed by lookalike, cookie-cutter design and disappointing packaging. The soft-top E-Class, for example, offers notably more passenger and luggage space than the pricier S-Class. Although the EVA2 electric platform is structurally sound enough to go topless, an open-air EV model is featured exactly nowhere in the product plan. One potential problem for Mercedes-Benz is the absence of a Tesla Model 3 fighter. The EQE is too big and too expensive, all EVA1 derivatives are compromised crossovers or SUVs, and before the new convergence platform is ready for production, Tesla may well have released its second-generation lineup.

Mercedes-Benz SLC Final Edition Debuts As Roadster’s Colorful Finale The SLC 43 wears a special coat of Sun Yellow paint that harkens back to the shades available on the SLK at launch. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz SLC Final Edition lets the German brand say farewell to its compact roadster by dressing the model up with special touches. Available on the SLC 300 and AMG® SLC 43, the Final Edition goes on sale in the United States in 2020.   As a nod to the color choices available at the SLK’s original introduction, the AMG® SLC 43’s body comes exclusively in the bright shade Sun Yellow. For contrast, Mercedes-Benz uses high-gloss black to cover the front splitter, hood vents, fender outlets, door handles, mirror caps, and rear fascia. The roadster rides on matte-black 18-inch five-spoke wheels with a yellow accent around the rims. So long SLC If you opt for the SLC 300 Final Edition, the roadster comes in Selenite Grey and wears an AMG® Styling front bumper. The door handles, mirror caps, and rear brace are high-gloss black, and the shade also covers the five-spoke 18-inch AMG® wheels. The convertible comes standard with the AMG® Line package that lowers the suspension by 0.39 inches (10 millimeters) and equips the car with larger brakes with perforated discs.   On the inside, both models feature two-tone Black and Silver Pearl leather with gray stitching. Elements like the headrests and steering wheel have textured leather that looks like carbon fiber. The Airscarf neck heater and heated seats come standard. The Memory package remembers the driver’s preferences for the seats, steering column, and mirror settings.   While known as the SLC currently, the compact roadster’s lineage goes back to the introduction of the SLK in 1996. The model featured a folding hardtop that gave buyers some of the extra security of a fixed-roof coupe but retained the ability to stow it in the back so occupants could still enjoy open driving. Mercedes-Benz sold over 710,000 units of the SLC and SLK in the model’s lifetime.

Mercedes-AMG® GT 53 4-Door Coupe to start at $99,000 GT 53 4-Door Coupe further expands AMG® GT family and offers unmatched combination of performance, outstanding engineering and versatility Mercedes-Benz USA today announced pricing for the GT 53 variant of the highly anticipated Mercedes-AMG® GT 4-Door Coupe.

EQ Boost utilizes stored electric power from the 48V battery through an Integrated-Starter-Generator, a powerful electric motor that combines the functions of a starter and an alternator. This EQ Boost unit assists the internal combustion engine with up to an additional 21 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque at low engine speeds. The Electric Auxiliary Compressor, exclusive to AMG® “53” models, assists in spooling the engine’s exhaust-gas-driven turbocharger quickly at low-to-mid RPMs, and it is capable of reaching speeds of 70,000 RPMs in less than a third of a second.

Overview The A-class sedan may be the smallest Mercedes-Benz sold in the United States, but it boasts high-tech features and a roomy cabin—more interior passenger space, in fact, than the longer Mercedes-Benz CLA. The A-class also has subtle exterior styling that nicely incorporates Mercedes-Benz’s new front-end design and focuses on aerodynamic efficiency. Engine, Ride, and Handling Every A-class has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 188 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. It hitches solely to a seven-speed automatic transmission that sends power to standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive. With a responsive gas pedal the transmission operates without issue. Paired with all-wheel drive, it goes from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds. Despite having large 19-inch wheels, the A-class still delivered a comfortable and controlled ride. Its steering feel was balanced, and the responses were accurate. Interior and Technology Inside, the A-class raises the bar compared with many entry-luxury compact competitors. Its digital dashboard can be blocked by the steering wheel in certain situations, but it counters with dazzling graphics and a sophisticated appearance. There is an abundance of hard plastics and glossy-black trim, but the straightforward controls and dynamic ambient interior lighting steal the show. Its infotainment system—called MBUX—features advanced voice-recognition software as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The A-class offers an extensive suite of standard and optional driver-assistance technology, which includes adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and more.

The Iconic Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon Turns 40 It’s still hip to be square. Roughly a year after the debut of the all-new and modernized second-generation version, Mercedes-Benz is celebrating 40 years of the legendary G-Class. The boxy G-Wagon has been built mostly by hand in Graz, Austria, since its official launch in 1979. The extreme off-roader is at home on the world’s most difficult trails, although it is more than likely to be seen climbing the steepest of parking-garage ramps here in the U.S. It’s built like a tank and the previous generation G-class drove like one as well. It’s popular with power brokers, professional athletes, celebrities, and even a few Popes— the first Popemobile built in 1980 for Pope John Paul II was based on the G and featured a Plexiglas dome over the rear compartment, while later versions included bulletproof glass. More recent and extra-ridiculous versions of the G include the G 63 AMG® 6×6, the G 550 4×4 Squared, and the Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Laudaulet. The G was initially designed as a military vehicle and thus featured a modest interior (Recaro seat upgrades didn’t start until the early ’80s), and it was available to civilians as a convertible, with a fixed roof, and as a sort of panel van. The G-Wagon was first fitted with an all-wheel-drive system that featured a single center differential lock, with lockers on the front and rear axles first being optional and eventually made standard in 1985. The chassis featured solid front and rear axles and recirculating-ball steering, and it stayed that way until, well, the arrival of the new G-class. It still has a rigid rear axle but now features an independent front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. It can still bash boulders with the best of them, but its on-road refinement and handling aptitude have increased immensely. Over the years, gas and diesel powerplant options have included six, eight, and even twelve cylinder variants, and, in 2017, the 300,000th G-class rolled off the line. An increasing number of those have been the insane AMG® models, with tons of power and brasher aesthetics. The latest Mercedes-AMG® G 63, for example, packs a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine that offers 577 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque and can power the big box to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. Happy birthday, G—you’re still great by us.

Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is always proud to host our Annual Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown Golf Championship! This year, the event was held on Wednesday, June 12, 2019, at the Nissequogue Golf Club. Thank you to all who participated and to all who were onlookers, as well as another huge thank you for the wonderful turnout! The Nissequogue Club, located at 21 Golf Club Rd, St James, New York 11780, was founded by a small group of investors in 1966, on over 120 acres of land, previously owned by William J. Ryan. Mr. The present clubhouse was originally constructed in 1929 as the main house of the Ryan estate. The Club is run by elected officers and governors. Their staff consists of eighty employees, led by professionals in many fields, including a General Manager, Clubhouse Manager, Golf Course Superintendent, Golf Professional, Tennis Professional, and Controller, who are responsible for maintaining their high standards and strengthening the reputation of the Nissequogue Golf Club as one of the top-notch golf clubs on Long Island. The prize car for the 12th hole at the Hole-in-One event was the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A220. Which, unfortunately, nobody ended up taking home. Every participant was given a Mercedes-Benz and Puma backpack for registering and anyone that signed up for a test drive was also given a free putter. After spending the day at our Annual Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown Golf Championship, stop into our Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown showroom to see a specific model in person, such as the 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe or the 2019 Mercedes-Benz S Class. Whether you are looking for a new vehicle or something pre-owned, our master team can help assist you in finding the perfect vehicle to match your personal driving habits. Contact us at 631-265-2204 to speak with a Sales Consultant or to schedule a test drive today!
