As it happened: World premiere Mercedes-Benz A-Class

Stuttgart - The new Mercedes-Benz A-Class celebrates its world premiere in Amsterdam in February.  

According to the automaker: "In 2018, the new A-Class as a harbinger of the new compact car generation will replace a bestseller that has decisively contributed to a more youthful brand image for Mercedes-Benz."

The automaker says the new A-Class retains its youthful and dynamic character, yet it is also more "grown up and comfortable than ever."

'Hey Mercedes!'

The new A-Class spots the automaker's MBUX - Mercedes-Benz User Experience. Mercedes said: "A unique feature of this multimedia system is its ability to learn thanks to artificial intelligence. Its other strengths include the high-resolution Widescreen Cockpit with touchscreen control, navigation display with augmented reality technology plus intelligent voice control with natural speech recognition, which is launched by saying 'Hey Mercedes'."
