Introducing the 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG® G 63 4×4

Prepare for the vehicle that is crowned the “Most G-Class ever” to be released by Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz USA has announced the limited time release of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz G 63 4×4, “that can’t get more G than this!” What immediately sets this vehicle apart from the rest of the fleet in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is the combination of the single suspension of the front and portal axles. This addition makes the 2023 G 63 4×4 appear as huge and extraordinary as its silhouette warns. To paint a clear picture, this 2023 G 63 giant is permanently all-wheel drive, has ground clearance of 13.8 inches, which is 4.3 inches more in comparison to the 2022 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and has 10.5 more inches of body length as well. An AMG V8 Twin Turbo engine ties everything together with 585 horses to emphasize this heart-stopping menace as truly one of a kind. The Mercedes-Benz G 63 4×4 pushes every single boundary and is the most customizable Mercedes-AMG® G-Class special model ever! There are 40 different paint options for this vehicle, ranging from Green Hell Magno to Hyacinth Red Magno, to many, many more. This vehicle refuses to compromise in any sort of way and is indescribably stunning and impressive. There are new, exclusive features in this 2023 Mercedes-Benz G-Class as well. Mercedes-Benz takes the luxurious ambient lighting element and amplifies it. The designers of this 4×4 G-Class decided to extend the already jaw-dropping ambient lighting feature by inputting LED lights into the interior air vents of the vehicle. The designers did not stop there, an exclusive feature of this aggressive 2023 G-Class is the special start-up welcome message found on the dashboard; this welcome screen was developed specifically for the Mercedes-Benz G 63 4×4 and can only be found and displayed in this stunning vehicle! Another feature is the Digital Interior Mirror, which lends the driver a “perfect view” of the back of the vehicle. This is helpful for drivers, especially when considering those who might not be as familiar with driving a model such as this. The Digital Interior Mirror will also come in handy when drivers experience the off-road capabilities of this militaristic monster. The 2023 Mercedes-Benz G 63 4×4 has approval for every type of off-roading, on every type of terrain. Climbing provides no obstacles for the G-Class 4×4, hills as steep as 45 degrees are no match. You might’ve read “every type of terrain” and “refuses to compromise”. Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is proud to boast that the 2023 G 63 4×4 can power through waters as deep as 35.8268 inches, or 910mm, of water. That is nearly 3 feet of water! On dry land, the 2023 Mercedes-Benz G 63 4×4 has 13.8189 inches, or 351mm, of clearance. The 2023 Mercedes-Benz G 63 4×4 also features rugged carbon elements surrounding the monstrous vehicle. These accents can be found exteriorly on the wheel arch extensions, spoiler, protective stripes around the vehicle and on the spare wheel holder cover. Interiorally, it can be found on the doors, the middle console and around the cockpit. While looking at the cabin of the vehicle, this model includes a grab handle on the glovebox with the special G 63 4×4 engraving. This grab handle reminds customers that the manufacturing came directly from the G Manufaktur program. The previously mentioned Green Hell Magno paint option serves as a tribute to Nürburgring’s Nordschleife. This is in reference to the infamous Northern track, Nürburgring, the full Nordschleife racetrack is only used for selected racing events now. The Nürburgring track was first described as “the Green Hell” by Jackie Stewart. Jackie Stewart is one of the most successful Formula 1 champions in history, with more than 27 race wins and 3 championship wins. Sir. Stewart’s track record is impressive to say the least, and we are not just talking behind the wheel. Jackie Stewart helped introduce full-face helmets and seatbelts for drivers, assisted in developing the Grand Prix medical travel unit, and successfully campaigned for safety barriers and greater runoff areas on dangerous turns (which protects both the drivers and the attendants of the races.) He has recently created a foundation to strive to cure Dementia, a disease that is close to his heart. Sir. Stewart’s wife of 60 years, Helen, was diagnosed with Dementia in 2014, and they strive to find a cure together. *Jackie Stewart and his wife Helen at the new French Paul Ricard race track (France, 1972)* The “Green Hell” is chilling when hearing about the German track and its conditions when described in Stewart’s own words, “I won four times at the original Nurburgring in Germany – the most dangerous circuit in the world – and yet I was always afraid of that place. In 1968 I won there by over four minutes in thick fog and rain where you could hardly see the road. That race should never have been held, and having won it by such a big margin gave me more credibility when I demanded safety improvements.” Mercedes-Benz was searching for a paint name that helps convey the aggressiveness and lack of compromise that the 2023 Mercedes-Benz G 63 4×4 delivers, and the Green Hell Magno paint seemed perfectly fitting. Jackie Stewart was a rockstar both on and off the track, and served as an advocate on behalf of drivers and fans in the name of safety. Despite the backlash he received at the time, his worries and solutions clearly stemmed from his overt passion for the sport and its participants. In 2001, Jackie Stewart received a knighthood for all of his compassionate and life-changing contributions to the motorsports genre. It has been stated that this iconic vehicle is likely the “last of its kind” due to the expansion and push for electric-powered vehicles and their positive impact on the health of the Earth. Nevertheless, the Mercedes-Benz G 63 4×4 is perfect for G-Class collectors as this limited edition trim level will be equally as rare as it is impressive. If you’d like more information on how you can secure a spot in your garage for this superb vehicle, you can contact our sales department at Mercedes Benz of Smithtown or Mercedes Benz of Huntington.

Mercedes-Benz EQS from Mercedes-EQ is Named Robb Report’s Best Electric Car for 2022

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS from Mercedes-EQ has been awarded the Best Electric Car by Robb Report for 2022. As the first fully electric luxury sedan from Mercedes-EQ, this is a huge accolade. As previously stated, this is the first edition of electric luxury sedans from Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-EQ, receiving this award emphasizes a job well researched, designed, engineered and executed. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS from Mercedes-EQ is an innovative masterpiece with S-Class details on every inch of this electric vehicle. The luxuriousness and electromobility of this vehicle does not compromise power and agility. There even is an option to activate the self-opening door feature! With a maximum of 516 digital horses that can go 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, it is clear as to why the Robb Report decided to grant the Best Electric Car for 2022 award to Mercedes-EQ. Versatility is not only found within the engine, but within the cargo space as well! This fully electric sedan has 22 cubic feet of cargo space and a whopping 63 cubic feet of storage with the rear seats folded downwards. This is nearly triple of amount of cargo space that is usually found with the 3 rear seats folded as available seating. If you’ve been following Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown and Mercedes-EQ, you are probably familiar with the Hyperscreen with the MBUX Infotainment System. If you are not aware of how striking this technological feature is, let us briefly explain: the Mercedes-Benz Hyperscreen is 56 inches of gently curved glass that is housed on the dashboard, and is the dashboard of the vehicle. This display utilizes artificial intelligence, an adaptive display and an operating system within it’s 12.3-inch gauge cluster, 17.7-inch central touchscreen, and 12.3-inch passenger touchscreen to present a drive and experience like no other vehicle before. A lower center of gravity (due to the battery being mounted under the seated occupants) combines with the “One-Bow” Design not only to lend the electric sedan an optical illusion of sitting lower but helps crisply cut through the air. The Mercedes-Benz EQS from Mercedes-EQ delivers a.20 drag coefficient, which is the lowest of any production car, in addition to being “significantly better than a large majority of today’s supercars” explains Robert Lesnik, who held the leadership role for the Exterior Design Effort for the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS and is Head of Exterior Design at the Mercedes-Benz Group. Well rounded both physically and spec-wise, this innovative, electric sedan makes an impressive statement! Robb Report summarizes the next-gen, sustainably beautiful 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS by Mercedes-EQ perfectly, “a bright, electrified future for Mercedes-Benz while showing just what heritage automakers can do when they set their sights on the EV space.” As the first fully electric sedan from Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-EQ (as well as the flagship electric vehicle for the brand) Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is eager to see how Mercedes-EQ will expand upon this magnificent creation. As companies hone their focus on their Electric fleets, as a dealership and as a consumer, the team at Mercedes Benz of Smithtown and Huntington wholeheartedly look forward to the technology that will flourish as production continues and expands!

BMW EARNS MOST-SHOPPED LUXURY CAR BRAND FOR Q1 OF 2022

The BMW brand has landed the number one spot as the most-shopped luxury car brand for the first quarter of 2022. BMW had taken this top spot for the past 11 out of 12 quarters, INFINITI beat BMW at the last second in the last quarter of 2021. However, BMW beat out INFINITI once again, regaining the #1 spot as per Kelley Blue Book and also the hearts of our customers! BMW’s consideration percentage increased a point from the final quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2022. 21% of luxury car shoppers considered purchasing a BMW in the first quarter of 2022! Competition BMW is happy to report that there was a 37% increase in shopping for our 5 Series sedan, and a 7% increase of customers shopping for our 3 Series. The BMW 5 Series and 3 Series were not done taking crowns, both of these vehicles were included on the Top 5 Luxury Cars List for Q1 of 2022. The 5 Series took home second place, the 3 Series took home 3rd place out of 5. For the first time ever, BMW was crowned number 1 in Driving Performance. This milestone dethroned both Porsche and Tesla. This accolade that BMW was awarded is well-deserved, with impressive vehicles and specs on every model and trim level. Highlighting the specs on both the 5 Series models and the 3 Series models will cosign Kelley Blue Book’s conclusion (although a test-drive in one of these award-winning vehicles will do the same, but instead of on your computer, you’ll have your foot on the gas, your hands on the wheel, and a huge smile on your face!) *European model shown* The BMW 5 Series is just as versatile as it is popular. BMWUSA describes this series as such, “Performance…At the top of your game…Versatility is at the heart of the BMW 5 Series Sedan.” The 5 Series has 8 different trim models, 2 of them being the electrified 530e model. The other 6 trim levels include affordable, but equally aggressive and still speedy base models, the 530i or 540i, with an xDrive option for both, and two supercharged BMW M Models, the M550i xDrive and the M5.The 5 Series model line up is described by BMWUSA as “precision power plants”, meaning each trim level goes only as fast as you want to. The multi-faceted 5 Series really shines when comparing the engine specs. The 5 Series has engines that range from a 2 liter inline 4 cylinder engine in the 530i sedan, to the 4.4 liter TwinPower Turbo V8 engine found in the BMW M5 and the BMW M550i; with powerful options to meet in the middle, a 2.0 liter TwinPower Turbo inline 4 cylinder xDrive in the 530i xDrive sedan.  The electrified 530e and 530e xDrive do not compromise their speed, both of these special vehicles house a 2.0 liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4 cylinder engine; the 530e xDrive differs from the 530e’s rear-wheel drive with intelligent all-wheel drive. *European model shown* The 3 Series also packs a punch by merging power with innovation. The core models, the BMW 330i and 330i xDrive are described as compact sports sedans, “style with serious pedigree” by BMWUSA. The BMW 3 Series has engines similar to the 5 Series: 2 liter, 4 cylinder engines. However, these base vehicles from BMW combine a twin-scroll turbocharger with variable valve control and high-precision direct injection. The electrified 330e and 330e xDrive are described as an “iconic sports sedan” by BMWUSA, with innovative electric components. The BMW 330e piggybacks the core model’s motor specs from the amount of liters and cylinders to the twin-scroll turbocharger and direct injection, but the electrified models vary slightly. The BMW 330e and 330e xDrive now includes an eDrive 107 mph electric motor as well. The BMW M model, the BMW M3, is BMW’s “action-packed sedan.” The BMW M model is speedy to say the least as the M in “M model” stands for motorsports. BMWUSA states that “excitement knows no bounds in this extreme sports sedan…BMW M engineering levels up every drive.” The BMW M3 can go from 0-60 mph in as little as 3.4 seconds. This is due to the massive power of it’s engine, a 3 liter inline 6 cylinder BMW M TwinPower Turbo engine.  A simple glance at the gorgeous bodystyle and specs of the BMW M3 brings clarity as to why it was one of the most shopped luxury vehicles for the quarter. At this point, it is no surprise that BMW has the most amount of models on the Top 10 List of the Most-Shopped Vehicles for the first quarter of 2022. The aforementioned 5 Series was ranked at 6th, the 3 Series was ranked 8th, and the BMW X5 was ranked 9th. This feat is impressive as the majority of the vehicles on the list were SUVS, 7 out of 10 vehicles were SUVs. One of the many SUVs on the list was our very own SAV, the BMW X5! The x5 is one of BMW’s Sports Activity Vehicles with 5 trim levels, the X5 sDrive40i and X5 xDrive 40i, the X5 xDrive45e, and the two BMW M models, the X5 M50i and the X5 M. These SAVs have impressive horsepower, don’t let their size fool you! From the base trim’s engine bringing 3 liters and 6 cylinders of BMW M TwinPower Turbo power, to the 4.4 liter V8 TwinPower Turbo engine, with options in between much like our beloved 3 Series and 5 Series sedans. Moving away from the powerful beasts that rest under the hoods, let’s celebrate BMW for being awarded for the exterior silhouette of the vehicles! In the category for Exterior Styling, BMW was awarded second place! Kelley Blue Book’s ranking is based on their expert number crunching and first-hand experience with these vehicles. If you don’t take their word for it, come down to our showroom and take a look at our ever-changing inventory! The inventory might change, but the iconic, head-turning body styles are universal from model to model. Once again, a giant congratulations to BMW for such successful vehicles and glowing recommendations from Kelley Blue Book and the Cox Automotive Group. BMW is proud to accept these well-deserved accolades which reflect work well done. After an extremely positive first quarter of 2022, we are on the edge of our seats to see what BMWUSA has in store for the last three-quarters of the year, and for many, many title-winning quarters to come.

Annual McNamara Charity Golf Outing

Mercedes- Benz of Smithtown is proud to announce their partnership with the McNamara Charity Golf Group. This fundraiser has been helping benefit veteran charities, veterans and their families for over 12 years. Many have experienced major financial setbacks with Covid in the last two years. This cause hits close to home for the strong veteran himself. Christopher T. McNamara has served in the U.S. Air Force. His family is deeply rooted through generations in the military service. Learning from his own experience as well as his family, McNamara knows how fortunate it is to make it home after being in service. Though this is something to be happy about, many come home with physical life changing injuries as well as invisible traumas that stay with them everyday that can’t be fixed with a cast like a broken arm. Internal Traumas that are life changing. Through this, it is common for many of these men and women to suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brian Injury (TBI). No one will ever know what these brave veterans have seen or experienced during their time in service. After their return many find it hard to come back to normal life or the life they once knew, without having memories or flashbacks of these traumatic times. This is the perfect opportunity to show your support for those that sacrificed so much for our freedom. Veterans have been provided with service dogs rescued from kill shelters. This is a great way to save two lives. The care for these precious pups is covered for life by mobile vans “Paws of War”. Disabled veterans are also provided with Action Trackchairs, which allow them the liberty of enjoying the outdoors and getting a bit of fresh air. Their strength and courage is inspirationally motivating. Throughout the last 10 outings, this organization has raised $600,000 for these indestructible veterans but we don’t plan on stopping there. With your help of spreading the word, we can help so many families and veterans to a better future. The next outing will be held on Monday, September 19, 2022. For more information on this incredible cause, you can visit the McNamara Charity Golf Outing Facebook page where you can access the entire brochure. Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is proud to be donating to such a wonderful cause. If you are interested in any sponsorships through Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown, please feel free to contact us!

The Benefits of Owning an Electric Vehicle

The brand new Mercedes-Benz EQS electric vehicle has finally arrived at our Mercedes-Benz Dealership in Huntington and we are SO in love! Not only is the EQS beautiful, but it is practical in it’s functionality. By 2025, a high percentage of new cars will be electric, and as usual, Mercedes-Benz is one of the first to make the move towards the future. There are many benefits to having an electric vehicle on Long Island other than for obvious reasons. Other than the awe-inspired looks you will receive from everyone while driving down Jericho Turnpike, here are a few other benefits of owning an electric vehicle in New York, and across the country. Cost Efficiency Many people may be wondering, “Is owning an electric vehicle cost efficient?” or “Are electric cars better than gas cars? What are the benefits?”, to which the answer would be YES! Not only is it cost efficient but it is also 40% LESS than the cost to fill up your vehicle with gasoline. Given that electric vehicles also have less moving parts than normal vehicles, servicing them can be a lot easier and can be done less frequently. Mercedes me Charge also enables users to receive 30 complimentary charging minutes per session for the first two years from account activation. Reduced Noise and Air Pollution Not only is owning an electric vehicle good for your wallet, but it is sustainable and great for the environment as well. Other than the EQ line, Mercedes-Benz cares deeply about the planet, which you can read more about in our blog post, “How Does Mercedes-Benz Practice Sustainability” or by going through various projects of theirs on the Daimler website. Mercedes-Benz also utilizes a Green Charging feature. This ensures that the same amount of electricity from renewable resources is fed into the grid for charging electric vehicles, thus creating a demand for more renewable energy, promoting the furtherment of green power sources. Since EVs have no exhaust emissions, they have a much smaller carbon footprint than traditional vehicles do. Convenience There are many options to charge your electric vehicle overnight at your Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor, Northport, or Elwood home. You’ll never have to find a gas station again. For on the go, websites such as PlugShare, ChargeHub, Google Maps, and the COMAND® Navigation built into your Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle can tell you where the nearest charging station is! Using ChargePoint and Qmerit, you can even get your own Level 2 charging station at home. Reduce Commute Time For those of you wondering, “Can I use the HOV lane by having an EV?”, the answer is yes! Having an electric vehicle not only saves you money, but also time, as they are entitled to use HOV lanes on the Long Island Expressway (LIE) due to the Clean Pass Program, and in other areas depending on local incentives. Performance Due to the fact that electric vehicles create instant torque, drivers can expect high acceleration speeds and increased towing capacity. Charging Charging is a lot easier with electric vehicles than you think! If you are wondering “How long does it take to charge my EV?” the answer is quite simple with the EQS. Level 1 Charging, 110V AC (Not Recommended): 4mi/hr Level 2 Charging 240V AC: 30mi/hr Level 2 Charging Stations can be found all around Huntington, Brentwood, Northport, Massapequa, and most surrounding areas as well! With a range of around 350 miles in the EQS, you can rely on your electric vehicle just as much as a regular car!As you can see there are so many benefits to having an electric vehicle that are more than what meets the eye. if you are still on the fence about them, here is your sign that electric vehicles are just as good as your normal C 300, GLB 250, or GLS 450. If you have any more questions or are interested in getting your own Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle, contact us and one of our Sales Consultants will be happy to help you out, or answer any questions that you may have!

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG® SL Revealed

The reinvention of the iconic Mercedes-AMG® SL has been the talk of every driver on Long Island since it’s unveiling yesterday on the Mercedes-AMG® Youtube Channel. Seen as a symbol of performance and luxury for ages, this new seventh-generation debut is shaking things up with some dramatic changes. Let’s start under the hood and the vehicle’s appearances. The new 2022 AMG® SL will be offered in SL 55 and SL 63 variants, both with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8, with an estimated 0-60 MPH time of 3.8 and 3.5 seconds for the SL 55 and 63 respectively. This all sounds great but the biggest surprise is that for the first time ever, the new SL 55 and 63 will include standard 4 MATIC+, the Mercedes-Benz and AMG® name for all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, and adaptive dampers, making the vehicle not only sporty, but also practical. The four-wheel steering allows for the sporty roadster to cut it’s turning radius by about two and a half feet, while the adaptive damping gives added stability. Additionally, an optional front-axle lift system can raise the front of the car by 1.2 inches. With an included software that allows the vehicle to remember location such as your steep driveway, the low exit coming out of the Shopping Centers on Jericho Turnpike, and more, the convertible can activate this function automatically. Now that we know the new SL 55 and 63 can pack a punch, let’s get to arguably the most important part, is the car aesthetically pleasing? In our books, yes. The redesigned SL-Class is one of the most beautiful releases we have seen from Mercedes-Benz and AMG® these past few years. Can you blame us? The alluring red color in the release trailer was nothing if not eye-catching! With a shark-like design, this new release is aggressive and sporty looking. The car is 185.2 inches long and its wheelbase is 5 inches longer than its predecessor. With a smoother, rounder appearance, the wide Panamericana Front Grille Looks especially stunning. Perhaps more so with triangular LED headlights that perfectly contract the smooth, flowing lines of the overall design! This new release will also be available in many paint colors such as matte options, a bright teal “Hyper Blue”, and much more, making it truly customizable. Similar to the all new 2021 S-Class, shown in one of our newest Youtube videos featured on our channel, and available at our dealership, the body looks extra sleek with flush door handles. One bigger feature that many are excited about is the return of the soft-top on the SL 55 and SL 63. The top gives the vehicle a lighter weight by 46 pounds, making the vehicle more gas-efficient than before. According to the debut, the top is also said to be able to open and close in 15 seconds up to 37 MPH. With all of these new features, plus the 20 or 21 inch wheels, the SL-Class is sure to please the eye. This convertible Mercedes-Benz is a prize both inside and out. Part of the main joys of riding or driving in a Mercedes-Benz is how innovative and luxurious the interior of the vehicle is. What’s new about the 2022 SL 55 and SL 63 is that they both will feature a “2+2” seating arrangement, meaning that these beasts will be able to seat 4 comfortably. The cabin is now larger as well. Unlike most Mercedes-Benz vehicles near you at this time, the digital instrument cluster and large center touchscreen are separate entities, instead of spanning across one sizable piece of glass as people are most used to seeing with the MBUX System. Drivers will be able to adjust the center touchscreen’s angle to help reduce glare from 12 to 32 degrees when necessary. Isn’t that helpful? The turbine style air vents also add a nice touch in making the vehicle have a few standout points that define the interior as “hyper analog”. Using high quality and sustainably sourced materials throughout, you can tell this vehicle was made for the greats. As with many of the Mercedes-Benz vehicles being released as of late, the technology integrated within them is usually the first of its generation, as well as something that becomes a set point for other luxury car brands to seek inspiration from. To name a few, the vehicle will have standard Active Multicontour Massage Seats, Navigation, Heated Steering Wheel, a Surround View Camera System, Burmester Surround Sound Speakers, AIRSCARF® Neck Heating Technology, “Hey Mercedes”, and of course, Ambient Lighting. Along with these standard features, other available options include Race Drive Mode, which uses AMG® Track Pace, Heads-Up Display, Augmented Reality, and AMG® Active Body Control Suspension System. With the also optional Driver Assistance Package comes Adaptive Cruise Control, Steering Assist, Active Lane-Keeping Assist, Cross-Traffic Sensing Emergency Braking, and a helpful automatic parking system, great for parallel parking whenever you may need it in New York City, shopping centers near the Walt Whitman Mall, and more! Other available packages include a Chrome Package, Night Package, and Carbon-Fiber Exterior Package or AMG® Aerodynamics Package for the SL 63. Pricing information has not been revealed yet but it is rumored that the new vehicles will hit dealerships in the first half of 2022. We can’t wait to see the stunning 2022 SL 55 and SL in Huntington when we can see it in person! The Mercedes-Benz lineup has just been getting better and better as time goes on.
