April of 2016 a Best Ever for Mercedes-Benz USA

Selling Over 32,000 vehicles in the month of April, Mercedes-Benz continues its dominance over the luxury car market.

"We are heading into a strong second-quarter with a minimum of nine new model launches in the months ahead," said Dietmar Exler, president and CEO of MBUSA. "We expect to see strong sales momentum as we move into the summer months."

The C-Class was the king of the month, selling over 5,600 units, with the E-Class selling over 4,800 units, with the GLC rounding out the top three selling over 4,400 units.

The most incredible of them all? Mercedes AMG High Performance models sold 1,967 units in the month of April, which was up a whopping 76% from the previous year when they sold 1,119 luxury units.

The secret for the success is really simple. Luxury style. Luxury quality, inside and out. No other luxury brand has won as many awards as Mercedes-Benz, including winning 3 out of 5 awards at the World Car of the Year awards in 2015, a first ever by any brand.

We are definitely looking forward to the release of all the 2017 models in the coming months as we know Mercedes is always striving to improve upon the already best luxury brand out there.

Mercedes has 15 model lines ranging from the sporty CLA-Class four-door coupe to the flagship S-Class and the Mercedes-AMG GT S. To get yours, visit us or chat with one of our sales representatives at Gurley Leep Mercedes .

Mercedes Outdoes Itself Again With 2017 E-Class's Autonomous Driving Features

The Mercedes E-Class has long been overshadowed by its more advanced model, the S-Class, but you wouldn't know it from looking at the 2017 model. Externally, it is sharper than ever. It's been entirely refurbished with a large exterior body that rivals other Mercedes models. The extended hood and short trunk make for a cleaner, classier version than the compact C-Class, but the 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that can exude over 241 horses ensure that the E-Class doesn't lose any power.  While that is great, that is not the reason everybody in the automotive industry is absolutely gushing about the 2017 E-Class. It's technological features are so advanced that not only does it lead the way for Mercedes innovation, but possibly all luxury vehicles.

The E-Class's ability to integrate the autonomous driving features as well as its safety and infotainment hardware create a sensual design that may be the sleekest currently. It is so revolutionary that it is the first of the German automakers to really integrate the technology seen in their concept cars into the drivable line. The E-Class's autonomous driving feature, Intelligent Drive Driving Assistance, allows the driver semi-automated driving on freeways, highways, and even in city traffic, with autonomous braking where required in hazardous situations and ability to perform evasive maneuvers. The E-Class's goal is to achieve a more comfortable, less stressful driving environment that ensures the greatest safety for all its drivers and passengers.


The E-Class Distance Pilot DISTRONIC function automatically maintains the correct distance to vehicles in front of it.

Mercedes-Benz did an excellent job in promoting safety, but it also did an awesome job in encouraging the leisure side of things. Long road trips that seemed stress filled and mind numbing have now become an after thought. While attention is still required, it is nice to know that you have a second set of eyes guiding you and your passengers on your journey. The best part of the Autonomous Braking system? It can recognize instantaneously if a hazardous situation has arisen, whether it is a vehicle running a red light, a large animal entering the road, or a human crossing the street when they shouldn't.

 

One thing is evident from Mercedes in this new E-Class: they plan to be the head of the pack of the luxury brands when it comes to these new autonomous driving tools.
