NEW MERCEDES A-CLASS UNVEILED

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled an all-new A-Class, which will go on sale in March. It takes a step-up in luxury, borrowing technology from the range-topping S-Class saloon. Semi-autonomous driver assist systems are available for the first time, and Multibeam headlamps are available. New diesel and petrol engines will be available from launch with CO2 emissions of 108g/km. Making it an attractive choice for company car hire, or contract hire. Mercedes says the new Mercedes A-Class is the “aerodynamic leader” in its segment, utilising an adjustable front grille to improve performance. The interior of the new A-Class is where the biggest change has taken place. It uses a freestanding widescreen display, the same as in the E-Class and S-Class, in place of conventional instruments.
