5 Best Mercedes-Benz to Buy in 2023

Which new Mercedes-Benz is right for you in Darlington? It depends on what you need most from your next ride—be it fuel efficiency, towing capability, or seating capacity. You’ll also need to decide how much you’re willing to spend for certain luxury features; a new Mercedes-Benz can cost less than $40,000 or well over $100,000 depending on the model and how you configure it.

In other words, there’s no single “best” Mercedes-Benz to buy in 2023—but the team at Mercedes-Benz of Florence is here help you to narrow down your options! Below, we break down our top five new Mercedes-Benz models in a range of categories. If you’re considering a pre-owned model, our top picks for 2020 may be helpful.

Best Family-Friendly SUV: Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV

This sophisticated three-row SUV has everything that the average family needs for calm and comfortable driving in Sumter. That includes a cavernous cargo area, a robust engine lineup, and state-of-the-art technology features to keep everyone happy for the long haul. Plus, an extensive trim level range and lots of optional features give you the freedom to customize down to the very last detail.

Best Small Commuter Car: Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan

The Mercedes-Benz lineup includes plenty of sedans that could transform a dull daily drive into something special, but our top pick is the well-rounded C-Class. Sure to please a wide variety of Marion-area commuters, this compact model puts comfort first—but performance isn’t far behind. It sports a gorgeously-appointed interior that borrows design elements from the lineup’s flagship S-Class sedan and lots of high-end entertainment features, including an available 15-speaker Burmester audio system. A turbocharged engine, upgraded for the 2023 model year, comes standard.

Looking for something more accessible that still delivers the genuine Mercedes-Benz experience? Starting at just 33,950 MSRP, the stylish and agile A-Class Sedan is the best Mercedes-Benz to buy for those making their first foray into the luxury segment.

Best Luxury Midsize Sedan: Mercedes-Benz E-Class

What does next-level comfort look like for Mercedes-Benz? Just about like this. The E-Class Sedan kicks things up a notch with its long wheelbase, ultra-smooth ride, a stable of potent engines, and one of the nicest interiors in the luxury midsize car segment. Another distinction: it’s available in a wider range of body styles than the A-Class or even the C-Class. Conway buyers can configure the E-Class as a sedan, cabriolet, coupe, or wagon.

Best Large SUV for Towing: Mercedes-Benz GLS

What’s the best Mercedes-Benz to buy if you need to tow your A-frame camper or sailboat? The GLS SUV can deliver, with a towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped. A turbocharged 362-horsepower six-cylinder engine comes standard, along with a long list of high-end interior amenities like heated and ventilated front seats, navigation, voice command, a 13-speaker Burmester stereo, and nine USB ports.

Best Electric SUV: EQS from Mercedes-Benz

If you’ve been following the debut and development of All-electric Vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, the brand’s new all-electric line, you may be curious about the best electric Mercedes-Benz to buy. Fuel-conscious Dillon drivers now have five EV options to choose from, but for the moment, we recommend the new EQS from Mercedes-Benz. It offers a range of up to 300 miles on a single charge and all the benefits of electric driving. And of course, the interior is fabulously appointed with all the luxuries you’d expect from a Mercedes-Benz SUV.
