2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class (E400 4MATIC Cabriolet)
Mercedes-Benz will join a host of other automakers launching
car subscription services and announced this month that it will launch
"Mercedes me Flexperience."
The service's premise is similar to many other car
subscription services from brands including Porsche, Cadillac, and Volvo.
For one monthly rate, Mercedes-Benz will include the option to subscribe to up
to 12 different cars per year, and the rate includes insurance, maintenance,
repairs, and even tire wear. Subscribers will be able to drive up to
36,000 kilometers (around 22,000 miles) per year.
The luxury marque said all vehicle requests, delivery
scheduling, and collections will be handled online. Mercedes-Benz will also
allow subscribers to pick out exactly what they want for their cars.
Powertrain, exterior colors, interior motifs, and features will all be
customizable ahead of the vehicles' delivery.
Mercedes-Benz said it will include the A-Class, C-Class,
E-Class, and the range-topping S-Class in the program. Pricing was
not provided, though with the S-Class as part of the roster, expect premium
prices.
Porsche offers two separate tiers for its "Passport"
subscription program. One includes less well-equipped vehicles, while the
more expensive tier includes more sports cars and premium vehicles. Pricing is
$2,000 per month for the lower tier and $3,000 per month for the higher tier.
According to Motoring,
If the German program is successful, Mercedes-Benz will launch the Flexperience
service in the United States and expand to additional markets at a later date.
