ROME – After its debut last April, on the occasion of Auto China in Beijing, the "elongated" version designed exclusively for the Chinese market, Mercedes unveiled the new three-volume Clbad A sedan at an exclusive event in Brooklyn, the well-known neighborhood of New York. A choice dictated by the importance of this model in a market that in its low-end continues to favor the "sedan" (Toyota Camry and Honda Civic three volumes were at the top in the 2017 Top Ten after 3 pick-ups and 3 suv) and also by the productive proximity of this model which – despite the attitude of Trump – continues to be manufactured in Aguascalientes in Mexico (as well as in Rastatt in Germany). The presentation for Europe will take place in October, on the occasion of the Paris Salon. With the arrival, late 2018, of the new sedan variant, the Mercedes compact family expands with a model of sports sedan proportions, comfortable for occupants – thanks to the 2729 mm wheelbase – and that offers all the innovations already introduced by the new A-Clbad sedan

"After the successful launch of the A-Clbad, Mercedes continues to launch models of the new compact range, one after the other," said Britta Seeger, Daimler board member AG, sales manager of Mercedes-Benz Cars. Now, in response to the requests of many customers, we are now offering, for the first time, the three-volume version.

The new generation of compact cars has greatly contributed to renewing and renewing the brand image. With CLA, Mercedes launched a compact in the US market for the first time in 2013, and last year, the CLA success rate was over 50%, with customers on their first Mercedes purchase and coming to market. Other brands.

Characterized by a Cx record (it equals 0.22) at launch, the new A-Clbad sedan will be offered with two engines: the 2.0 petrol of 163 hp for the A 200 with transmission to dual-clutch 7GDCT and 4-cylinder diesel A 180 d, modern unit "clean" that delivers 116 hp and allows a combined fuel consumption of between 4.3 and 4.0 liters per 100 km
