“The new Mercedes-Benz A-Class marks a new episode on a revolutionary journey into the digital era of the automobile. This gadget-like car redefines functionalities with an intuitive approach and underlining the lifestyle element making it the ultimate must-have item,” said Mark Raine, vice president, sales and marketing, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia.
The new A-Class is the first Mercedes-Benz model to feature the new, state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system.
MBUX can be activated by the words, “Hey Mercedes”.
This intelligent language assistant supports numerous infotainment functions such as destination input, phone call, music selection, as well as climate control and lighting.
The system also recognises and understands almost every sentence occurring in the infotainment functions and vehicle operation.
MBUX can be individualised and adapts to suit each user individually.
The MBUX touch-control concept is a triad consisting of the touchscreen, touchpad on the centre console and touch control buttons in the steering wheel.
The new A-Class has a low bonnet, flat LED headlamps with chrome elements and torch-like daytime driving lamps, as well as a shark-nose like look.
Both, the Mercedes-Benz A 200 and A 250 also come with high-resolution Widescreen Cockpit with touchscreen control, setting new standards in the segment.
It has an all-digital instrument display which can be switched to different styles from “Classic”, “Understated” or “Sport” mode complementing the turbine-look air-vents and leather multifunction sports steering wheel.
For the first time, the A-Class also comes standard with the KEYLESS-GO function.
Safety and assistance systems include the Active Parking Assist which assist the driver when searching for a parking space and when entering or leaving a parallel or end-on parking spaces.
It manoeuvres the vehicle into the selected parking space and back out again.
Also, the new A-Class now comes with 64 colours for the ambient lighting.
Besides the increase in colour variety, the ambient lighting colours are composed into ten colour worlds, allowing an avant-garde lighting display with spectacular colour changes.
