Best Back-To-School Features from Mercedes-Benz

Summer break is coming to an end and that means back to school. It also means back to soccer games, art projects, bake sales, and so much more. Going back to school is a stressful time for many families and if you have the wrong vehicle, it can make it that much worse. That’s where Mercedes-Benz can help you make a smooth transition back into the school year. Features like fuel-sipping powertrains, fatigue-reducing safety features, and ample space for all of your needs can reduce the stress of going back to school. 

Safety

When your family is involved, safety is the most important feature you can have. Standard features like an impact-resistant chassis with designated crumple zones to protect passengers, and ample airbags work to protect your loved ones in the event of an accident. However, many Mercedes-Benz features are working behind the scenes to keep your family from ever needing those features. Mercedes-Benz offers a suite of driver assistance features that can step in and prevent an accident. Drivers will enjoy ATTENTION ASSIST®, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®, PRE-SAFE®, Adaptive High Beam Assist, and more. 

Fuel Efficiency

The biggest thing about going back to school is the amount of “going” your family will be doing. Errands, extracurricular activities, more trips to the store for supplies really add up. Thankfully, Mercedes-Benz has your wallet in mind. To keep extra stops at the pump to a minimum, Mercedes-Benz implements fuel-saving technology into its powertrains. With features like variable valve timing, direct injection, turbochargers, fuel-sipping engines, and perfectly geared transmissions work together to keep you on the road longer. 

Spacious Interior

Is it just us, or does it feel like as soon as school starts, your vehicle gets a little smaller? With carrying around gear for sports, art projects, backpacks, gym bags, and more, space becomes a valuable commodity when school is back in session. Mercedes-Benz has designed all of its models to optimize interior space and comfort. Even in the smaller A-Class and GLA, you’ll have room to stretch your legs and carry everyone’s stuff too. For drivers who need to maximize space, the E-Class Wagon and GLS offer 64 cubic feet and 84.7 cubic feet respectively. Premium seating promises outstanding comfort after long days and hours of traffic jams every week. 

Productive Technology

Managing your time is a chore itself, especially during the school year. Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and wireless charging keep you connected from anywhere. Stay on top of tasks, emails, messages, calls, and more. Mercedes me connect keeps you connected to your vehicle for remote start, vehicle locator, remote lock and unlock, Enhanced Roadside Service, and more. 

Preparing for the school year can seem daunting but Mercedes-Benz can make it easier. Whether you need more space or want the technology to make you more productive, the Mercedes-Benz of Owings Mills team can pair you with the perfect model for your family.
