Lest this blog’s title create any confusion, here’s some clarification: every Mercedes-Benz vehicle is a state-of-the-art, world-class luxury automobile infused with the latest safety, convenience, and infotainment technology. However, when it comes to superlative protection, two models go above and beyond even the lofty standards set by the Mercedes-Benz brand.
As recognized by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), these two vehicles are the 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan and the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV. The former was anointed a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS, meaning that every 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class near Owings Mills, MD aced all five of the IIHS’ key safety evaluations: head restraints, small overlap front, moderate overlap front, roof strength, and side. And that’s not all: the 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class also scored an “Advanced/Superior” rating for its frontal crash protection technology.
The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE went one better, garnering the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation. This means that this exceptional SUV earned all of the aforementioned accomplishments and received an “Acceptable/Good” headlight rating, a brand-new IIHS criteria this year. When you consider everything the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE brings to the table, it’s easy to see why it’s so highly lauded. Every trim comes standard with the PRESAFE® forward collision warning system, a rearview camera, hill-start assist, and the mbrace® telematics suite, which includes emergency assistance and geo-fencing. Also standard is ATTENTION ASSIST®, a novel technology that monitors the driver’s drowsiness level.
The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan also offers ATTENTION ASSIST® and frontal collision warning/mitigation, as well as advanced safety options like adaptive headlights, lane-keeping assist, and a surround-view camera system.
