The new A-Class is a breath of fresh air in the sails of Mercedes-Benz, and since the ambitions are high and the Chinese market is the one that offers automotive brands the most opportunities for growth, the A-Class in the sedan version has been developed exclusively for the Chinese market, where it will also be produced . This is also why you will not see this otherwise extremely interesting car on European roads. The Autosalon in Beijing served up yet another surprise, which is not such a surprise for connoisseurs.
The Chinese automotive market is virtually the only possibility for manufacturers to grow rapidly. And it seems that the top brands are particularly aware of this. This is also why they are developing special models that appeal to the picky Chinese customer. This one since forever he loves "big" limousines and that is also why Mercedes-Benz models in China are somewhat "strained".
A-Class L Sedan represents the latest design language, characterized by clear structures and sensuality cleaned surfaces. Of course, it has a high level of safety, thanks to innovative driving assistance systems borrowed from the big one class S There is also a new platform or infotainment system on board MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience), Chinese A-Class L Sedan boasts all the virtues of the new family of compact vehicles from Mercedes-Benz. One of the highlights is the intelligent voice control of the system MBUX with natural speech recognition: fluent in various Chinese dialects, including Sichuan and Cantonese.
In 2017, China was again the largest sales market for Mercedes-Benz and Smart. Customers in mainland China last year received more than 610,000 vehicles, more than ever before in a year (+ 25,9 %). In 2017, a total of approx 430,000 units, which corresponds to more than two thirds of the total sales volume on the Chinese market.
But let's face it A-Class L Sedan as beautiful as the CLA model and we would not defend it in our market either.
