Mercedes-Benz of Durham Blog

After languishing for years in science fiction and futurists' imaginations, electric vehicles are finally taking the auto world by storm. Recent advances in battery, construction, and automotive computer technology have made electric vehicles more viable and exciting than ever before.

Mercedes-Benz is entering the exciting fray of electric cars with the Mercedes-Benz: All-Electric Vehicle line, the first of which is Mercedes-Benz EQS, a sedan like the S-Class that's been well-loved for decades, but with an electrified powertrain that improves the experience.

Unveiled again in Stockholm September 2018, the Mercedes-Benz EQ line started as a concept SUV at the 2016 Paris Motor Show but has been making significant progress to be released in the United States in 2020. As other manufacturers of luxury vehicles have been rolling out their newest all-electric SUVs it is impressive to see so many innovations...

If you've been looking for a safe, comfortable family hauler in Durham--and you've started to resign yourself to a boring minivan--don't be so hasty.

Because the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) recently named the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE midsize luxury SUV a 2018 Top Safety Pick +.

That is the highest possible safety rating from this strict, unbiased data institute.

Last week, we took a look at the upcoming redesign for the Mercedes-Benz CLS.

But that's not the only big news coming out for Mercedes-Benz this summer--not even close.

The big, big announcement is the upcoming release of the first all-new, fully redesigned Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV in nearly four decades. That's a design, general powertrain, and overall bravado that's remained intact for 40 years. When that changes, the world of luxury automobiles changes.

We'll take a look at some of the top changes and redesigns that we'll see in the all-new 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

The Mercedes-Benz CLS midsize four-door coupe is undergoing a massive redesign for the 2019 model-year, and it's not just exciting for enthusiasts.

It's big news for the entire luxury market in Durham, as Mercedes-Benz looks to once again revolutionize what a coupe can be.

Here are the six must-know items that AutoGuide addressed at the LA Auto Show over the winter:

Possibly the smartest and most technologically-advanced sedan in its class--or in the world--the new 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has been making quite a lot of noise for a luxury car that boasts a supremely quiet cabin. And it hasn't even made it to dealerships yet.

AutoGuide very recently released their review of the newest model-year of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and they had praise that could never be defined as "light":

"If ever there was a showcase for both where an automaker is coming from and where it’s headed, it would be the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class."

This summer, the team at Mercedes-Benz of Durham is proud to be a sponsor of Back Porch Music on the Lawn, a summer-long concert series highlighting some of the best local music in a fun and family-friendly environment.

Taking place on the interior quad of the historic American Tobacco Campus, these concerts are held on Thursday evenings through the summer, and--thanks to sponsorships by local businesses like Mercedes-Benz of Durham--they are completely FREE for you to attend.
