Intelligent Cargo Design: The Mercedes-Benz E-Class


The 2015 MB E-class wagon has 57 cubic feet of cargo space!
Cargo space is a common problem when it comes to the family car. Mercedes-Benz has been working for decades to attain the perfect marriage of design, durability and functionality. Tah dahhhh! We think the 2015 E-Class wagon will impress you with its 57.4 cubic feet of cargo space. 

You want your car to represent you--your life. Your family vehicle should be able to handle all that you throw at it...dogs, cleats, kids, groceries, luggage...and do so with grace and brilliance. With split-folding second- and third-row seats, hands-free trunk lid option, and Mercedes' COMAND infotainment system, the E-Class wagon sets a new standard in family car.

This family car delivers a ride that will represent you well and gives you all the cargo space you would expect from the leader in intelligent design. 

  • "...the wagon offers up to 57.4 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume in addition to its trademark rear-facing (and strictly-for-kids) third-row seat that gives it seven-passenger capacity in a pinch." -- Edmunds
  • "Luggage space is impressive..." -- Kelley Blue Book

Visit us online or come in for a test drive and compare! We're proud to live in Sonoma County where the cars may be a little dirtier, but the people are a little happier. :)

3 Benefits of Buying Your Car Locally




Buying locally supports more than local owners!
As you may have guessed from our giant round window cling visible from 101, Mercedes-Benz of Santa Rosa (and the entire Smothers European Auto Group) is a proud member of Go Local Sonoma County.  After decades of serving Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino counties, Mercedes-Benz of Santa Rosa was the first auto dealer to meet Go Local membership requirements. Our neighbors in Napa and Mendocino are without Mercedes-Benz representation so we always welcome them as family. That’s how we treat our employees, as well as our customers. Aretha had it right—R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

We lose sales to other dealerships, that’s natural in the auto industry. It’s when sales are lost to a dealer in another county that makes us wonder if people truly understand why it’s so important to shop locally—especially for bigger ticket items, like vehicles, boats, RVs, jewelry, etc. 

Here are the 3 biggest benefits of buying big ticket items as closely to home as possible:


1. Supports local workers. Sales professionals work on commission. So part of the cost of your vehicle goes directly into their pocket. This helps support local families, real estate and retail.

2. Some taxes stay local. A portion of the taxes you pay for your new car stay local. They support schools, fire and police departments, among other local agencies.

3. Supports local economy. Through both of the above factors, local workers will recycle many of their earned dollars back into the local economy by buying lifestyle necessities and luxuries.
