Not giving what it’s supposed to give

I am not impressed by this vehicle. My S clinked on me and I had to buy sthing in a cinch. I wanted a Tesla but decided to stay with Benz for one last try. This car could not have been built in Germany. I know the cheaper models aren’t. This seem like it was made in Detroit at the old Ford factory. Not fast, speakers suck, takes a few to respond. The app sucks as well. Remote start doesn’t respond every time. For what they charge a month it should start whenever I think abt it. Just a poorly made vehicle that they charge Benz price for American quality. Stick with the upper models. Oh, one good thing is it doesn’t cost much to fill up- it ok on gas.

Can I Return It?

Where to start? Waited six months for delivery and was crazy excited when it arrived. Fully loaded with just about every option. After a week I despise the car. Turbo lag when you first accelerate...the $840 Burmester audio system is totally underwhelming...the Augmented Reality Navigation impresses friends but is distracting due to having to repeatedly take your eyes off the road to look at it...the MBUX is complicated. If I could return it I would in a heartbeat.

Engine and Tranmission A+.

The engine and transmission are as advertised. The car is a little rocket, and the shifting is rocket fast. The combination of economy and speed is hard to beat, I don't know how the Germans do it. Consistently get high 20's combined, and the car is 3.9 0-60. The safety algorithms are not good, the car safety tech supercedes the human input, causing dangerous encounters regularly. The Burmester sound system is top notch. The manufacturing is less quality than expected from Europe, many nagging rattles inside the vehicle, even when brand new.

Best vehicle for the price

If you want a SUV that is safe elegant as well as fast from the word go. This is your machine... When getting on the highway an ever so slightly pressing of the gas pedal sends that vehicle over 80 before you actually get off the on ramp. Be careful too much will send that turbocharged 4 cylinder fully loaded over a 100 and it won't feel like you're going that fast until you look down at the speedometer and see the blue lights in your rearview mirror... That 4 cylinder makes her easy on gas 32mpg around town 36/37 on the highway. My own calculations 75 with cruise control. The 2021 is also more roomy than the 2018... It is very comfortable for anyone over six feet tall front and back especially good for long trips... It has every safety feature from four front air bags to blind spot warning both lights and sound.... Your phone play list can be easily accessible... For the guys sorry ladies it has a female voice commands you have to merely ask Mercedes to change radio stations connect blue tooth or make a phone call and she complies in a female voice which immediately gets your attention by asking you how may she help you... Wow...

I’m obsessed with my new car. I love that it’s very sporty, still an SUV, without feeling like a soccer Mom! The interior is awesome as I love what they did with the screens in 2021 models!
