Stay tuned for more to come!
The new Mercedes-Benz A-Class – it really is like a gadget on wheels and according to MBM happens to be “the most anticipated launch in the automobile industry for Malaysia in 2018”. Presented in two variants, the Mercedes-Benz A 200 and A 250 retains its urban hunter appeal with its intuitive digital user experience and an uncompromisingly dynamic design. Here’s the launch gambit plus walkaround video of the new A-Class!
“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 (below).
Connected. Intuitive. Digital.
The infotainment of the all new A-Class is the first Mercedes-Benz model to feature the new, state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX). A unique feature of this multimedia system is its ability to learn thanks to artificial intelligence. The system also recognizes and understands almost every sentence occurring in the infotainment functions and vehicle operation. MBUX can be individualized and adapts to suit each user individually. The touchscreen is part of the comprehensive MBUX touch-control concept – a triad consisting of the touchscreen, touchpad on the centre console and touch control buttons in the steering wheel.
To further provide its drivers a holistic user experience, MBUX is equipped with its intelligent voice control with natural language comprehension which 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 is said to be intelligent as it recognizes and understands sentences from the fields of infotainment and vehicle operation.
Progressive. Sporty. Avantgarde.
The design of the new A-Class is a combination of uncompromisingly dynamic design and an intuitive operating concept. The purist, surface-accentuating design of the new A-Class is the next step in the Mercedes-Benz design philosophy of Sensual Purity. The exterior of the new A-Class stands for sportiness, dynamism and emotion. The progressive front design with a low bonnet, flat LED headlamps with chrome elements and torch-like daytime driving lamps ensures an emotionally appealing and alluring appearance. All these gives the new A-Class a shark-nose like look.
Modern. Exclusive. Contemporary.
The interior design of the new A-Class is, on the other hand, a revolution from within. It is completely redefined with its modern, avantgarde look, revolutionising the compact class from the inside with a new feeling of spaciousness. 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 is featured with 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.
Unrivalled. Innovative. Intelligent.
For the first time, the A-Class also comes standard with the KEYLESS-GO function, enhancing the convenience and comfort in its daily use. Underlining its sporty look, the LED high performance headlamps with its unmistakable, distinctive look provide now even more safety at night and illuminates the road ahead better than conventional headlamps and provide a daylight-like light colour which is easy on the eyes and illuminate the road ahead precisely and brightly.
The new A-Class also comes with a class-leading safety and assistance systems such as 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.
With the generation change, the new A-Class now comes with 64 colors for the ambient lighting. Besides the increase in color variety, the ambient lighting colors are composed into ten color worlds, allowing an avant-garde lighting display with spectacular color changes. The color worlds can be matched to the different styles of the widescreen display when required, creating a harmonious overall impression.
Redefined. Dynamics. Performance.
Besides its good looks, the new A-Class models are powered by new efficient and powerful engines. The A 200 Progressive Line is also equipped with a 1.3-litre inline turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine rated at 120 kW/163 hp with the 7G-DCT dual-clutch automatic transmission. The A 250 AMG Line, on the other hand, is equipped with a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine rated at 165 kW/224 hp with the 7G-DCT dual-clutch automatic transmission. Both, the A 200 and A 250 is also equipped with the four DYNAMIC SELECT transmission modes “Eco”, “Comfort”, “Sport” and “Individual”.
“The new Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a revolution, offering a level of quality and luxury never seen in this class before. It will be the forerunner of the compact car range, rejuvenating our brand as the most desirable luxury lifestyle brand. This progressive A-Class reinterprates our definition of Modern Luxury with the Mercedes-Benz User Experience which is activated by the command, “Hey Mercedes”,” concluded Mark.

From AutoExpress, Mercedes-Benz has indeed finally revealed the A-Class Saloon, which is basically a booted version of the 4th generation of the brand’s compact car. “We’ve already seen a four-door variant of the latest model – the Chinese market A-Class L Sedan – but this one will be coming to the UK.” – AutoExpress. Does this mean it’s destined for our shores too? Check out the video!
Here’s more about the new A-Class Sedan courtesy of AutoExpress:
From the outside, the saloon looks near identical to the A-class hatchback right up until the C-Pillar. From there, the roof drops away slightly more sharply to accommodate the new boot section. The rear end treatment is the same as the Chinese L Sedan, featuring bold light clusters with a Y-shaped LED signature above a bumper flanked by a pair of vertical air vents.
The saloon shares its 2,729mm wheelbase with the hatchback, while the overall length has stretched 130mm beyond the standard five-door variant. At 420 litres, the boot is 50 litres larger than in the hatch, though its opening is inevitably smaller.
The new shape makes the saloon even more aerodynamic than the already slippery A-Class hatch. At 0.22 cd, Mercedes claims that it boasts the greatest aero efficiency of any current production car, which should bring with it both low levels of wind noise and strong fuel efficiency.
There’s two engines to choose from at launch; the petrol A200 and diesel A180d. The A 200 is powered by a 1.3-litre turbo that makes 161bhp, 250Nm of torque, and is claimed to manage 54.3mpg. The diesel unit is co-developed with Renault, and achieves 71mpg while producing 114bhp and 260Nm.
It’s a fairly small segment the A-Class Saloon will compete in when it makes its Spring 2019 debut – the Audi A3 Saloon will be its closest competitor – but Mercedes says that it’ll boast class-leading rear headroom. The rest of the A-Class cabin is the same as the regular hatchback; in other words it’s furnished with a well-built, contemporary dash which, with a few select options ticked, gets one of the very best infotainment systems available at any price.
The A-Class Saloon will make its first public appearance at the Paris Motor Show on 4 October. Prices are yet to be confirmed, but expect a slightly premium over the hatch’s £25,800 start point (circa RM137,326 nett before taxes and import duties). Here’s one last video:

“We are pleased to announce the introduction of the all-new Mercedes-Benz E 300 AMG Line to lead the E-Class range, the masterpiece of intelligence in the premium executive segment.

Its four-cylinder petrol engine gives a total system output of 180 kW (245 hp) with a maximum torque of 370 Nm from 1200 to 4000rpm. With sports car-like performance figures to boast, the E 300 AMG Line accelerates from 0 – 100km/h in 6.2 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h. Paired with the engine is its 9G-Tronic nine-speed torque converter automatic transmission with Direct Select shift paddles, which sends power to the rear wheels.
The AGILITY CONTROL suspension with passive selective damping system and lowering to ensure a well-balanced ride comfort on any road surface of the E 300 AMG Line offers agile driving pleasure on twisting roads as well as the highest level of ride comfort. Together with the DYNAMIC SELECT switch in the cockpit, it enables the driver to select from four modes: “Comfort”, “ECO”, “Sport” and “Sport +”. The additional “Individual” option allows drivers to configure their vehicle to suit their own preferences.
The E 300 AMG Line is equipped with enhanced MULTIBEAM LED headlamps, which open up new dimensions in headlamp technology. Each headlamp is equipped with 84 individually activated high-performance LEDs that makes it exceptionally bright and precise, and automatically illuminate the road surface with a previously unsurpassed, precision-controlled distribution of light – without dazzling other road users. The E 300 AMG Line comes with 20-inch Multi-spoke AMG alloy wheels.
The E 300 AMG Line is also equipped with COMAND Online, which leaves virtually nothing to be desired in terms of infotainment, navigation and communication. Information is shown on the 31.2 cm (12.3-inch) high-resolution media display. Its highlights, alongside the double display, include the touch-sensitive Touch Controls on the steering wheel and the new, intelligent graphic design of the Multifunction Telephony. It allows mobile phones to be charged and, at the same time, connected to the vehicle’s exterior aerial – with absolutely no need for cables or a telephone holder.
Burmester® surround sound system is available for superior listening pleasure. It drives 13 speakers with a 9-channel DSP amplifier and a total system power of 640 watts. All the speakers are additionally optimised for performance with the premium sound system. With Parking Pilot and its inclusion of a 360° camera, all-round vision is made possible by the reversing cameras and three other additional cameras. Observation of the areas to the side and directly in front of the vehicle is thus made possible during parking and manoeuvring. The information from Parking Pilot and the cameras is graphically presented in full HD on the vehicle’s Widescreen Cockpit.
