Philip Meiling, the Sales Director at Mercedes-Benz, announced the updated A-Class at the Qatar Motor Show, stating:
"Since the launch of the attractive hatchback from Mercedes-Benz in 2013, the A-Class has exceeded our expectations in success. The new generation of the A-Class embodies this success, catering to the demands of the modern, youthful generation."
This year, Mercedes-Benz has expanded its engine range, with the A250 producing 155 kW and over 200 horsepower.
The curved surfaces reflect our design philosophy for the A-Class, featuring a dynamic sports interior and an 8-inch touchscreen display. The A-Class is a high-performance vehicle with a sporty design, meeting all personal needs."
Statements from Lennart Müller-Tut
Lennart Müller-Tut, Head of Marketing and Communications, unveiled the all-new G500 4x4.
Speaking about the G-Class, Lennart noted that the Middle East has become one of the most important markets for this line. In 2013, Mercedes-Benz launched the G63 AMG 6x6, which was a significant success contributing to 41% of Mercedes-Benz sales in the region.
"Today, we are introducing for the first time in Qatar the Mercedes-Benz G500 4x4 from the G series. The V8 engine produces 422 horsepower with a sharper design for the G class. Undoubtedly, this vehicle is the most powerful SUV designed for off-road driving in this region."
A special thanks to my colleague Mohamed Shahada for covering this event.
