At the latest Motor Expo, luxury German automobile manufacturer Mercedes-Benz introduced the third edition of the A-Class, its smallest model, first launched in 1997. It’s a big improvement on past incarnations in terms of looks, well and truly differentiating itself from Japanese sub-compact rivals with sporty lines, graphite colors and bold red accents inspired by the interior of jet aircraft. There are two editions available: the A180 Style, featuring a 1,595CC engine giving 122 horsepower, and the A250 AMG Sport, featuring a 1,991CC engine giving 211 horsepower. Prices are B1,890,000 and B2,490,000, respectively. More information at www.mercedes-benz.co.th
