Nearly every global automaker offers vehicles with all- or four-wheel drive, but those systems aren’t created equally across the board. Some have more advanced tech features and more robust terrain-conquering capabilities, which is why we’re here today to talk about Mercedes-Benz’s 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive system. Paired with beefy vehicles like the G-Class and GLE-Class, the system offers near-unbeatable off-road performance while maintaining the luxurious ride quality and handling Mercedes buyers expect. 

Mercedes uses 4MATIC® all-wheel drive to make its vehicles more...

Automakers often lean into their motorsports divisions for inspiration and new technologies, but few companies have a Formula 1 team as a resource. Mercedes-Benz’s Mercedes-AMG® Formula 1 team has developed several technologies that will assist the automaker as it works to bring solid-state batteries to the road. 

Solid-state batteries offer higher energy density, lower weight, and a safer overall design than lithium-ion batteries, but the technology has not yet reached the production stage. Mercedes is testing the batteries in its new EQS electric sedan, saying that it needed...

Other models like the S-Class and E-Class have existed since before many of our blog readers were born, but the GLC is now the leader. It is less surprising when you consider that aside from its luxury brand, it is a compact crossover, the best-selling automotive category in the U.S., and the home to many brands' best sellers. Its success has encouraged Mercedes-Benz to add a variant to the model line, so Mercedes-Benz of…

The Mercedes-Benz brand has established itself so that when you hear the brand name, a van is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. But Mercedes-Benz has arguably been making vans longer than luxury cars. It is a history that goes back almost 130 years; the brand knows what it’s doing regarding cargo vans. Thus, it is no surprise that it is the first to offer electric-powered vans. Read this Mercedes-Benz of Plano blog post to see if the eSprinter van lineup can cover your cargo van needs. 

The E-Class has always been the core stalwart of the Mercedes-Benz sedan lineup and has been regarded as the reference standard for what a luxury car is and should be. So, perhaps it is little surprise that Kristen Shaw, an automotive journalist for Forbes, voiced in her review of the E 450 that she doesn’t really want to see it leave her driveway. Mercedes-Benz of Plano tells you more. 

Shaw states that she drives “50 and 100 different cars in any given year,” and despite an assumed curiosity for what may next reside on her driveway, she really hated…

The automotive industry epitomizes the competitive side of the free market system. Name almost any automotive model, and someone familiar with the marketplace can name several direct competitors, likely with multiple countries of origin. Yet the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV is a vehicle without a direct competitor. Its combination of being an all-electric, full-size, ultra-luxury SUV pushes aside the gas-powered models from Bentley, Rolls Royce, and other exotic brands. Mercedes-Benz of Plano invites you to explore this ultimate SUV from the Mercedes-Benz...

To most Americans, the name Mercedes-Benz invokes images of remarkably well-engineered luxury sedans, SUVs, and sports cars.
