What Is The Mercedes-Benz Night Package?

Each Mercedes-Benz vehicle is available with various optional packages that include additional features and style details. Before purchasing your next Mercedes-Benz, it might be a good idea to do some research and see what all of the optional packages have to offer. By doing this, you can make sure that you are getting all the features you want and need in a vehicle. Today we鈥檙e going to help by taking an in-depth look at one of these groups of features, the Night Package. Which Mercedes-Benz vehicles are available with the Night Package? The Mercedes-Benz optional Night Package (for the GLE-Class) includes the exterior Sport Package, 20-inch black AMG 5-spoke wheels and gloss black exterior accents. This package will give your Mercedes-Benz model an added look of sophistication and style. The iconic 20-inch AMG alloy wheels are accented with gloss black recesses in each of their five thin spokes. They are outfitted with substantial 265/45R20 all-season tires. The Night Package also offers jet-black accents. This Gloss Black finish is applied to the front and rear skid plates, the grille crossbar trim and the side mirrors, side window surrounds and roof rails. These added touches might be just the thing you want on your new Mercedes-Benz to help you stand out and stay stylish no matter where the road leads. The Night Package is available on quite a few vehicles in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, even though this particular description is for the GLE-Class.

That version has a slightly longer wheelbase than ours will, though. While the A-class is pleasant to look at outside, it鈥檚 even better inside. The sporty, aggressively styled seats make a great first impression, but it is the dashboard that steals the show. Even low-spec models have two seven-inch TFT screens, with one in place of traditional gauges and one in the center of the dash. The cars we drove had the top-of-the-line configuration consisting of two 10.3-inch displays, which probably is the most futuristic-looking instrumentation currently available in a compact car. Maybe even in any car, as Mercedes-Benz has brazenly decided to walk away from the usual top-down approach and has fitted its best and most recent infotainment system called MBUX in its entry-level offering. The A-class, in that way, beats the S-class. One of the most novel elements is the way the driver can communicate with the car.

Use the voice-recognition system (which can be activated by saying 鈥淗ey, Mercedes鈥? to make almost any car-related request, and the A-class has an informative answer鈥攐r a cheeky one. Try saying, 鈥淚 love you,鈥?or asking, 鈥淲hat do you think of BMW? 鈥?and you鈥檒l get some interesting replies. There is more, such as the backlit dashboard and air vents, which look as if they were taken straight out of an S-class coupe. And while other compact cars studiously avoid wood decor in order to not be seen as stodgy, the A-class can be specified with beautiful, opulent wood trim鈥攁t least in Europe鈥攁nd it doesn鈥檛 look a bit old-fashioned. We spent most of our time in cars powered by the redesigned, turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, a U.S.-bound engine that is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. Rated at 221 horsepower, it moves the A-class with considerable authority; Mercedes quotes a zero-to-62-mph time of 6.2 seconds, and top speed is a lofty 155 mph.

We wish the engine sounded a bit sportier, though. But it needs to leave space for two Mercedes-AMG models (rumored to be called A35 and A45), which will make around 300 and 400 horsepower and will be positioned well above the A250. The chassis has no trouble whatsoever in sending the torque to the road. There is a strut front suspension and a multilink rear setup in upper trims (entry-level models in Europe have a torsion-beam rear suspension). Adjustable dampers are optional, as is 4Matic all-wheel drive. The front-drive A250 that we drove was tossable and a hoot to pitch into corners; the steering is precise and perfectly weighted. Driven more sensibly, it鈥檚 a comfortable and quiet long-distance cruiser. The chassis filters out poor road surfaces, the seats are pleasantly comfortable, and there is plenty of head- and legroom both up front and aft. Our time behind the wheel of the new A-class seems to reinforce Mercedes-Benz鈥檚 acuity in moving beyond its traditional strength in premium sedans and focusing on the compact segment. We look forward to experiencing our version.

The entry-level compact slots alongside the CLA-Class at the bottom of Mercedes' lineup. While we question why the aging CLA still exists, Mercedes presumably has its reasons. So far, the only model we've driven was the standard A 220. Today we get an early look at the upcoming Mercedes-AMG A 35 sedan. We saw the debut of the A 35 hatchback in September, but America is unlikely to get any variant other than the sedan. The A 35 is a midlevel performance model akin to the AMG 43 and 53 variants of the C-Class and E-Class. Unlike those six-cylinder cars, the A 35 should be powered by a version of Benz's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four. Visually, it's difficult to see many changes between the A 220 and the A 35. The front and rear fascias have been revised, with more aggressive bumpers and new exhaust tips. The wheels and tires are larger, surrounding some beefy brakes. We don't have any shots of the interior, but expect features like sport seats and optional carbon-fiber trim.
