Last week, the Slovenian representative of the Mercedes brand - Autocommerce - presented its new assets in the middle segment in Slovenia. Mercedes C-Class and GLA. The two new models herald the spring renaissance of the brand, which is behind the Slovenian designer Robert Lešnik.
It must be admitted that in the last year or two at mercedes an above-average number of changes are taking place, heralding the transformation of the brand and penetration beyond the conventional frameworks and strategies of this giant of the automotive industry. Mercedes openly wishes younger and urban customer population, which wants a different premium class from the competition. And here he is looking for his chance with extremely characteristic and recognizable design new generations of their vehicles. This design style bears the signature of a Slovenian designer Robert Lešnik, who heads the entire design department of Mercedes and thus tailors the shape, smell and taste of the most legendary brand in the world.
The new Mercedes C-Class – new standards
At the first fleeting glance at the new one mercedes class c even the untrained eye immediately recognizes the extraordinary similarity with the largest Mercedes in the fleet of Mercedes vehicles - to class S. This similarity is not coincidental, because you are mercedes wants to transfer the design philosophy and the feeling of prestige to the middle class of vehicles as well. So new mercedes c it is also technologically not behind its big brother S, as it has practically all of its features technological aids and innovation.
Inside of the new C class we recognize the attention and love of detail that sets this vehicle apart from its biggest German competitors, BMW and Audi. It seems that Mercedes sets the bar for quality in this class and materials at least a class higher than the competition. This means above all more prestige in the feelings themselves.
After the first ones kilometers driven otherwise, we have not yet created a complete impression. We can argue that in the environment of the new Mercedes C you quickly feel extremely at home. This means that we get used to all technological aids and the working environment extremely quickly. We also praise the fact that despite the advanced "touchpad” system for managing the car's electronic functions, we still manage most of the important functions only via the classic buttons on the dashboard and center console. This means above all that when it is necessary to change the stiffness of the chassis and the mode of the transmission, we can do it by moving the button, thus changing the "state of the settings" of the car practically at the moment when we need and want it.
Generation gap = technological progress
New ones mercedes class c it has the best drag coefficient of any production vehicle in the world. Which means that at Mercedes they did a minor miracle and reduced this ratio to 0,24, which mainly means savings in fuel consumption and practically inaudibility of the bodywork, which contributes to driving comfort. The reduction in weight compared to its predecessor is significant, as the new C has lost a good amount of weight at the expense of modern materials. 100 kilograms, which is why the vehicle is also extremely dynamic and light, which again allows for lower fuel consumption. Thus, even at the expense of modern materials and aerodynamics, the new Mercedes should spend up to 20 percent less fuel like its predecessor.
The goal of sales in Slovenia is set high considering the market conditions, the importer wants to sell 180 vehicles by the end of this year. However, since the car deviated from the class average in many ways, we have no doubt that the goal is set realistically. The sale officially started these very days.

Mercedes with complete Sihonization with mobile phones - cooperation with Apple
By addressing the younger population, the technological connection with the gadgets we carry in our pockets is of course also clear. Thus, Mercedes established a pioneering collaboration with Apple, which will bring full connectivity with their mobile operating system to its cars and screens. CarPlay it thus represents the migration of smartphone content to digital car screens.
The new Mercedes GLA – a city traveler
In addition to the star presentation of the Mercedes C-Class, the importer presented a niche vehicle GLA for all young and dynamic urban travelers who want a small urban crossover that can also be an SUV. In doing so, we would like to stand out with an unmistakable style. New ones GLA it is based on a combination of A and B classes and shares a technological platform with them.
It definitely represents a complement to the extremely successful one CLA, whose annual supply was snapped up by customers practically the moment it was available, Queue and for the CLA, there are still a few months left for the vehicles on order.
The Slovenian importer expects a similar story for the model as well GLA, for which there was a lot of interest.
