So, the new A-Class Merc"s biggest seller in the UK, and the smallest Mercedes that isn"t technically a Smart. Only now it"s bigger than ever. 30mm longer, with a 14mm wider front track, more shoulder-, head- and elbow-room and a more voluminous, more easily accessible boot than the really quite ordinary, not especially spacious car it replaces. Good news, we"re sure you"ll agree. But there is better, more interesting news elsewhere News, for example, of the all new MBUX infotainment system, which employs machine learning to "adapt to suit the user" and "create an emotional connection between the vehicle, driver and passengers". So for example, if you regularly switch to Radio 4 at 6pm for the news, the car will remember this and remind you. Like the S- and E-Class the A"s swish new interior is dominated by two widescreen LCDs. At their biggest they"re 10.25 inches across (no A-Class gets conventional dials. Two 7 inch screens are standard), one for the instruments, the other for nav (optional AR tech overlays POI and direction info on feeds from the car"s cameras), media and so on.
