Mercedes-Benz has just unveiled his Class of 2018 and a nice surprise was waiting for us.

Launched in 1997, this model was never marketed in North America. And in 2018, it will change. In fact, it will be sold in hatchback at the end of this year in Canada as a model-year 2019. Our neighbors to the South won’t have this chance. Rather, they will have to wait until the release of the sedan, which is expected to occur shortly. The latter will be available in Canada also.

To give you an idea of the format of the drive, it is comparable to a Volkswagen Golf.

As of 2019, the Class B will be abandoned in order to leave all the room for this new Class A.

While it is usual to see the latest technological advances being introduced on models of luxury as the S-Class, Mercedes-Benz has opted for a totally different strategy for his system MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience). Using artificial intelligence, this technology caters to a young customer base that coincides more with that of the Class rather than to that of a sedan, including the starting price of $ 100,000. A bit like Siri with an iPhone, it is enough to say “Hey Mercedes!” to get what you want at the edge of the car.

On the dashboard, there are two touch screens 26,16 cm that are positioned side-by-side.

Equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine of 2.0 L, the Class Has sold here will develop 221-horsepower and 258 pounds-foot.

For the moment, the price of this new compact hatchback still remains unknown.
