When Does The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Get Released?
The Mercedes-Benz family of sedans is growing with the introduction of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class during late July in Brooklyn. This compact 4-door sedan is slated to be released to dealerships towards the end of 2018 so mark your calendars. The new 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is the first Mercedes-Benz vehicle to offer the intuitive MBUX - Mercedes-Benz User Experience multimedia system which is accessed by a standard free-standing 7鈥?color touchscreen display or an optional 10鈥?color touchscreen. The new 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class also sees many symmetries to the driver assist features found inside the Mercedes-Benz S-Class for added safety and security. You can learn about all of the new and exciting specs and features for the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class below. The 2019 A-Class will be offered as the A 220 and the A 220 4MATIC and both options will get equipped with a 2.0L Turbocharged Inline 4-Cylinder engine that produces 188 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque.
This 2.0L Turbo engine works with a 7G-DCT Dual Clutch Transmission for optimal fuel efficiency. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class also gets loaded with Brake Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Emergency Stop Assist, Lane Change Assist, and PRE-SAFE PLUS. The new MBUX system is customizable and can learn users鈥?preferences and forge an emotional connection between vehicle and owner thanks to the Artificial Intelligence loaded into the MBUX system. The interior also has an updated design that focuses on the large touchscreen displays and features a dashboard that flows seamlessly from driver side to passenger side and forms an unmistakable driver鈥檚 cockpit. The sleek interior provides the eye with uninterrupted lines that give the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class the feeling of a much more spacious interior. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class also has a redesigned trunk that features a larger opening for easier cargo loading and unloading. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class will be arriving at Mercedes-Benz of Salem towards the end of 2018 so prepare yourself to be blown away by its awe-inspiring specs and features.
A great drive, and perhaps more importantly, a real Mercedes-Benz. An obvious statement, you say? Yes, but looking at the Mercedes CLA sedan, under which the A 220 now slides, it was never truly 鈥淢ercedes鈥?enough. It suffered from a cheap-ish interior, brittle ride, and pinched cabin. None of that with the 2019 A-Class Sedan. It may be Benz鈥檚 new entry-level offering, but there鈥檚 nothing entry-level about it.Its lines are grown-up, elegant, and well resolved from every angle. So why start with the A 220? Quite simply because the targeted 鈥渁ffluent Millennial鈥?demographic of the A-Class is considerably more tech-savvy, wired-up, and screen-obsessed than the aged S-Class patron. 鈥?Beware, you can鈥檛 utter the word 鈥淢ercedes鈥?within the cabin without MBUX jumping to attention.If you say 鈥淚鈥檓 freezing鈥? Ms. Mercedes will turn up the heat. Ask for the nearest steakhouse with a five-star rating, and she鈥檒l show you the way and read you the menu if such info is floating about the cloud.
We whiled away the time by asking such things as 鈥淗ow high is Mt. Ranier? 鈥?and 鈥淲ho did Prince Harry marry? 鈥?Proving Germans do have a sense of humour, the response to 鈥淭ell me a joke鈥?was 鈥淪orry, my engineers are German.鈥漇till, there were a number of times where more basic requests pertaining to the A 220鈥檚 functions flummoxed MBUX. It still feels like early stages. Along with voice control, there are three other ways to navigate MBUX: the touchscreen, steering-wheel controls, and a touchpad on the console that mimics that of a laptop computer. The Mercedes Me Connect app gives remote smartphone access to numerous functions of the A 220, 鈥渕eeting the needs of the always-on generation鈥?(Mercedes鈥?words). MBUX will also adapt to your behaviour and driving patterns.The screen鈥檚 graphics are impressively pin-sharp, and with some practice MBUX should become pretty easy to negotiate. We did notice some excess road noise on some surfaces, but most of the time the A 220 comported itself like a proper Mercedes-Benz. It puts the CLA sedan on the trailer in every conceivable parameter, rendering that swoopy creation essentially redundant. 40,000. If they can keep that assurance, the A will be a mighty enticing entry point into the brand. And don鈥檛 get scared off by all the Millennial-baiting tech - this little sedan is a great drive, and perhaps more importantly, a real Mercedes-Benz.
I鈥檇 like to think my sales staff and our sales philosophy is a little different than most dealerships. Most dealerships don鈥檛 care, however, and set sales quotas that pressure salespeople to sell a car, no matter what. You can bet that dealership and used car lot owners know their demographics and average incomes so before you鈥檙e talked into something you can鈥檛 afford, think before you buy and sign. Buy what you can truly afford to avoid finding yourself in the situation of missing car payments and a possible repossession from the finance company. There are some steps you can take to avoid the entire missed car payment and repo dilemma. Contact Your Lender - This is SO important to do as soon as you realize your payment will be late or entirely missed. Avoiding the finance company鈥檚 emails and phone calls will only make it worse. In reality, the lender does not want your car back; they would rather work with you. When you call, stay calm and explain your situation.
