Unmatched Performance of Mercedes

Luxury is the reputation. Performance and safety are the engineering underneath. What Mercedes-Benz builds in, and how to keep it working.

Published · Updated · By Luxur Automotive

Mercedes-Benz is known for luxury, sophistication and power. Fewer people know how much performance sits beneath the surface, or how much safety engineering comes with it.

An engine for every driver

The range runs from 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines to turbocharged V8s. At the top sits the Mercedes-AMG GT, with a turbo V8 built for maximum power. Between the two, there is an engine for almost every kind of driving.

Safety that works at speed

Performance is not only speed. It is also control. Mercedes-Benz fits driver-assistance systems such as Adaptive Brake Assist and ATTENTION ASSIST to help keep you safe at higher speeds and through tight turns.

Systems like these rely on cameras and sensors that must be aimed precisely. After a windshield replacement or collision repair they may need recalibrating, which is what ADAS calibration is for.

Keeping it that way

Power and safety both depend on maintenance. Keep to the Service A and B schedule, and have any warning light looked at promptly. See our Mercedes-Benz service.
