Mercedes-Benz is perhaps best known for their boundless luxury. Often times, this sparks conversations around performance, premium materials, high-tech entertainment features and advanced connectivity. Autohaus of Peoria, however, would like to point out that Mercedes-Benz has the ability to make even the practical components of their vehicles exciting. Case in point: the Mercedes-Benz M-Class.

We would definitely recommend the M-Class SUV to young families. There's its armor-like, uni-body construction which protects drivers and passengers with a unique mix of high-strength steel, ultra high-strength steel, magnesium reinforcements and triple-layer roof pillars. There's also its standard all-wheel drive, AGILTIY CONTROL, brand-exclusive ATTENTION ASSIST and PRE-SAFE.

Even families with three small children will find the sophisticated seat design and placement of LATCH and tether anchors quite a luxury - especially compared to other vehicles on the market. Cars.com recently performed a car-seat test in the M-Class and they found that three different car seats could be quickly and easily secured in the second-row seat, leaving comfortable legroom for a 6-foot driver and 5-foot-eight-inch passenger. The seat configuration even allows for the older child in the booster seat to secure his or her own buckle.

Whether you're a parent of one, two or three; such convenience is truly invaluable. And of course, once you've got all the little-ones safe and sound, you can revel in eight-way power seats, the warm hue of sustainably-forested wood trim, ambient lighting, and your favorite music.
