The Night package is a favorite trick for Mercedes-Benz. Most of its vehicles are available with this distinction, and all that do are undeniably better looking than they are without the package. Although this isn’t a surprise, the 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class will feature a Night package option that will include many features that will make the G-Class the “king of the night”, as Mercedes-Benz puts it.

Cars like the Mercedes-Benz CLA and Mercedes-Benz GLA are quickly growing in popularity because Mercedes-Benz somehow keeps improving them without requiring a large increase in price. This could be contributed to the fact that the compact SUV and 4-door coupe markets are still new and there is a lot of room for growth, but we think it is because Mercedes-Benz is at the top of its game. The company recently hinted at a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 release date, which appears will be much more anticipated than the GLA usually is. The reason for the increase in popularity is due to an new technology, much of which will come standard with the often-overlooked GLA250. Read the rest of this entry
The SLK is dead. He was a compassionate, happy-go-lucky roadster who survived by his older brother SL-Class and he will be missed greatly. Just kidding! Forget the SLK. A new guy is in town and they call him the SLC. Sure he has roots that stem from the SLK and even the C-Class, but he is one bad dude thanks to the Mercedes-Benz SLC new exterior design.

The release of the SLC couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. The reason for this is because the Mercedes-Benz SLK was dragged into the nomenclature change on what just happens to be the 20th anniversary of its world debut in 1996. As it turns out, the SLK had been using a lot of the same parts and technologies as the C-Class already, specifically from the powertrain, which prompted the one-letter name change. Today, the 2017 SLC still borrows a lot of the same things from the 2017 C-Class. These similarities make the release more exciting in our opinion because we already know what the C-Class is capable of. Read the rest of this entry

As we move closer to the GLS release date, the internet is buzzing about the new flagship SUV. It is a replacement for the popular Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, offering drivers new technology paired with an already successful SUV platform. The S was added, not because the GL had been greatly improved since its introduction, but because Mercedes-Benz wanted customers to associate the GL with the flagship S-Class sedan. Once this decision was made, planning for a refreshed design began immediately after, placing the outdated GL-Class in a category with the M-Class and the GLK, which have been replaced by letters that better fit Mercedes-Benz nomenclature. This reorganization may seem dramatic, but especially in the case of the GLS, the replacement vehicles actually have more similarities with their predecessors than differences. Read on for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS preview. What distinguishes it from the GL-Class and is it worth your resources to own one? Read the rest of this entry
