Homepage > SUVs for Sale

Sitting off the Atlantic Ocean on Florida's Gold Coast, Fort Lauderdale is a vibrant city steeped in sun-kissed glamour and alluring coastal charm. You'll find a bustling hub of luxury, class, and style in Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas like Hollywood, Dania Beach, and Davie. 

Fort Lauderdale is not just about the sun, sand, and sea. It's a city that appreciates style and sophistication yet thrives on adventure. To complement this lifestyle, Broward County offers an impressive selection of SUVs for sale. And here, in the "Venice of America," Mercedes-Benz SUVs have found their true home.

But as you begin searching for a new vehicle, it's clear that the thriving SUV market in Fort Lauderdale has abundant choices. So where do you start?

Start right here where you are, on the Mercedes-Benz of Fort Lauderdale website. And start by asking yourself, "Is an SUV the right choice for me?"

Is an SUV the Right Vehicle for You?

Choosing a vehicle is more than picking a mode of transportation. Your search is really about finding the perfect companion for the road of life. But with so many choices, from sedans and hatchbacks to trucks and SUVs, how can you be sure which one matches your unique needs?

There are several considerations to remember when deciding if an SUV is the right vehicle for you. Let's explore some.

Lifestyle

The Fort Lauderdale life demands versatility. The gentle pull of adventure, the thrill of the outdoors, all-day explorations along the Loxahatchee River, and the undeniable excitement of a spontaneous road trip can influence our vehicle choice. And for meeting these demands, there's nothing quite like an SUV.

For those with a growing family, you may find yourself playing chauffeur, driving your kids to practice at Bamford Sports Complex, school clothes shopping at Sawgrass Mills, or packing up for a family-fun day at TY Park's Castaway Island. The spaciousness of an SUV, especially the models at Mercedes-Benz of Fort Lauderdale, is designed to accommodate busy schedules and full lives. With generous cargo space, smartphone integration, and handy features like third-row seating and a power liftgate, an SUV offers the capacity and versatility a regular car might lack.

Not only do they cater to family life, but SUVs are also an excellent choice for Floridians who crave adventure. Many SUVs for sale offer all-wheel drive (AWD), including all Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® models.

Are you a fan of camping under the starlit skies at Biscayne National Park? Do you enjoy off-road drives along the scenic routes through Big Cypress National Preserve? An SUV with all-wheel drive (AWD) capabilities can tackle a variety of terrains, opening up possibilities for exploration and adventure.

Average SUV Lifespan

Modern SUVs are engineered for longevity. The average lifespan of an SUV is currently around 12 years or 200,000 miles. Some models last well beyond that. Some SUVs have reached 300,000 miles or more.

Three critical factors affect the longevity of your SUV:

  1. Make and model: In the same way different Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods have unique vibes, various makes and models of SUVs exhibit different reliability levels. Brands such as Toyota, Honda, and Lexus have a reputation for crafting enduring SUVs. Of course, Mercedes-Benz craftsmanship is world-renowned for exceptional durability and reliability, making it a top choice.
  2. Maintenance: Regular upkeep is a significant reason Florida's southeastern sands in places like Deerfield Beach and Hollywood Beach are pristine. The same holds true for your vehicle. Regular services like oil and filter changes, tire rotations, keeping up with scheduled services, and immediate attention to mechanical issues can help your new or used SUV stay in top shape for longer. When well-maintained and treated with care, your SUV could grace the vibrant streets of Fort Lauderdale, surpassing the average vehicle lifespan.
  3. Driving habits: How an SUV is driven can significantly impact its lifespan. It's like the difference between a peaceful sunset stroll along the Pompano Beach Pier and a high-energy jog at Hugh Birch State Park. Harsh driving conditions or heavy towing can strain the engine and other components, potentially shortening the SUV's lifespan.

The leaderboard for long-lasting SUV models includes:

  • Toyota Land Cruiser
  • Honda Pilot
  • Chevrolet Suburban
  • Ford Expedition
  • Nissan Armada
  • Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • Dodge Durango

These SUVs are known for their robust nature and enduring performance. And when you step into our Mercedes-Benz dealership, you'll find that every SUV for sale offers a lengthy life and a blend of luxury, performance, and resilience, making them a joy to own for years and years.

Average SUV Fuel Economy

Most SUVs for sale typically have lower fuel economy than sedans and coupes due to their size and weight.

SUV fuel economy can vary greatly depending on factors like the size (compact, midsize, full-size), the type of engine and fuel type (gasoline, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or electric), and whether it's a two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive model.

In general, compact and smaller midsize SUVs tend to have better fuel economy, with many models achieving anywhere from 20 to 30 mpg* (combined city/highway). Larger midsize and full-size SUVs typically see combined mpg* ratings in the mid-teens to low twenties.

Hybrid and plug-in hybrid SUVs can achieve significantly better fuel economy, often in the range of 30 to 40 mpg* or more. Fully electric SUVs consume no gasoline, and their efficiency is measured in MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent), which can vary dramatically, but often exceeds the efficiency of gas-powered engines.

The EPA's fuel economy website is an excellent resource for accurate and up-to-date information.

The Benefits of Buying an SUV

Purchasing an SUV has several benefits, offering a variety of features that can accommodate various lifestyle needs and preferences. Here are some of the most significant advantages:

Space and Versatility

SUVs are renowned for their generous interior space. They can comfortably accommodate larger families, often seating between five and eight passengers. Additionally, they offer significant cargo space for groceries, luggage, and sporting equipment. Many models feature flexible seating arrangements, allowing you to fold down the seats for even more storage capacity.

Safety

SUVs often fare well in safety ratings thanks to their robust size and advanced safety features. Their higher ride height gives drivers a better view of the road, which can aid in identifying potential hazards earlier. Many modern SUVs for sale include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and blind-spot detection.

Towing Capacity

An SUV could be the perfect fit if you need to tow trailers, boats, or campers. Full-size SUVs often boast impressive towing capabilities that can outpace some trucks. SUVs are top-rated for families with recreational towing needs or people with heavy-duty work requirements.

Off-Road Ability

Many SUVs come equipped with four-wheel drive, like the Jeep Wrangler, or all-wheel drive systems, like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, giving them a distinct advantage in off-road conditions or harsh weather. If you often drive in snow, rain, or off the beaten path, an SUV can provide the traction and stability you need.

Comfort and Luxury

High-end SUVs generally have a suite of comfort and luxury amenities that enhance the driving experience. These might include leather seats, advanced infotainment systems, high-quality audio systems, heated or cooled seats, and surround-view backup cameras. Some premium models offer a level of opulence that rivals high-end luxury sedans.

But choosing a specific SUV is a unique adventure in itself. It's like setting sail on the blue waters of Fort Lauderdale with a horizon full of possibilities. You have an array of brands to consider, each promising a different kind of experience. Options like Acura, Audi, the Buick Encore, BMW, Cadillac, and Chevrolet offer a range of SUVs that combine style, luxury, and performance.

Then there are brands like Dodge with its rugged charm, Ford Explorer capturing the spirit of adventure, GMC's blend of power and luxury, Honda's reliability, and Hyundai Santa Fe's versatile character.

Of course, your choices continue to grow if you're trying to decide between an SUV and a crossover!

Mercedes-Benz SUV or CUV: What's the Difference?

Let's explore the main difference between SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) and CUVs (Crossover Utility Vehicles).

SUVs

SUVs are traditionally built on a truck platform with a body-on-frame chassis construction. This design results in superior off-road capabilities and towing capacities.

SUVs are often larger, offer more cargo space, and can typically seat more passengers. They may also come with four-wheel drive capabilities, allowing for better handling in off-road conditions or adverse weather.

A prime example of a Mercedes-Benz SUV is the Mercedes-Benz GLE.

CUVs

Crossovers are typically built on a unibody chassis and have a more car-like suspension. This lighter body style is why many CUVs are more fuel-efficient than traditional SUVs. CUVs are generally more suited for on-road comfort than off-road capabilities, offering a smooth, car-like ride.

Most CUVs offer more cargo space than typical sedans and often come with all-wheel drive (AWD) for added road traction, but they usually don't have an SUV's off-roading and towing capabilities.

The Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4, and Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe are examples of CUVs.
