New Year's Resolutions for 2024

Another year, another set of New Year's resolutions. The New Year is the perfect opportunity to wipe the slate clean and make some beneficial changes to your lifestyle. Can’t think of any? Don’t worry, we’re here to give you some inspiration.

Get in Shape

Many of us look to improve our physical health in the New Year, but here at Mercedes-Benz South West we have a much more exciting idea of ‘getting in shape’. Being kind to yourself is key and should be your upmost priority. Just like the population, our range of luxury vehicles come in a variety of shapes and sizes - from the sleek and sexy E-Class Coupé to the compact and sporty EQA.

Our models fall into the following categories:

• Hatchback
• Saloon
• Estate
• Coupe
• Cabriolet
• Roadster
• SUV
• MPV

Get Organised

It’s only the first week of January but we bet that your to do list is already overflowing. Our state of the art infotainment technology, MBUX is the perfect aide to keep your life on track.

Plan your journey with the office assistance programs such as send-to-car navigation, allowing you to pre-load your navigation from your phone, which means no time wasted plugging in postcodes. You can even get live traffic updates to keep you moving and adapting your route, you’ll never be late again.

The voice recognition assistant also keeps you productive on the road. If you need to call the office or a client you can simply say ‘Hey Mercedes, Call the Office’ and your car will connect you!

Learn Something New

If you want to pick up a new hobby in 2024 we can get you from A to B with ease and convenience. Our diverse model range has something for every lifestyle. If you’re thinking of a new hobby with added equipment, don’t fret our SUV range offers incredible boot capacity sizes. Our largest SUV, the GLS provides flexible configuration allowing for seven seats, or a potential 2,400 litres of boot space when the second and third passenger rows are lowered.

Taking your new hobby to the next level? Roof and bike racks are both available to pack up bicycles, surf boards or other water sports equipment easily. Our range of exclusive Mercedes-Benz genuine accessories will keep your equipment safe and secure.

Save Money

I’m sure managing money will be a priority for most of us this year as the cost of living crisis continues to rise inflation to levels beyond expectation. It’s not always possible to eradicate an outgoing cost completely, however cutting costs will build up your savings. A Mercedes-Benz South West service plan can help you do just that. Manage your servicing costs into low monthly payments throughout the year, we ensure that this price will be fixed through your entire contracted term, despite the inevitable rise in parts and labour.

In addition to the cost efficiency and convenience, our service plan offers a host of additional benefits – most of them complimentary – for the duration of the contract:

• Free-of-charge oil top-ups
• Free-of-charge Software Upgrades
• Free puncture repairs
• Free-of-charge Courtesy Car (normal charge £30, includes Insurance plus 40 miles, only modest fuel charges apply thereafter)
• Free-of-charge Collection and Delivery Service (normal charge £30)

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Global warming is becoming more and more prevalent and we know that now is the time to reduce your carbon footprint. Last year we saw the release of a further three all-electric models from Mercedes-EQ so there’s even more to choose from if you want to cut your emissions by 100%.

We also have a wide range of mild and plug-in-hybrids now available! Hybrids can ease you in to an EV lifestyle, help to lower your environmental impact, and cost less than a combustion engine. View our range of hybrid models.
