AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/08 Report--

Mercedes-Benz A-class models are being stereotyped domestically in order to cater to the Chinese market, specially lengthening the models from overseas hatchbacks and increasing the trunk. Class A sales reached 4346 in April, while Mercedes-Benz's sales rose 0.8 per cent to 57700 in April.

Mercedes-Benz has been on the cusp recently, but the April data made Mercedes-Benz have the last laugh, and today in Weibo, a blogger posted a set of pictures that surprised many people. "seeing the screen of low-end A for the first time" suddenly many netizens left messages in the message area saying: "this is a bit insulting to users". "it's just like my former college roommate's MP4." some netizens even said that "only a fool would buy a Mercedes-Benz".

Without verifying the authenticity of the blogger's post, we found the interior decoration of the A180L, the lowest configuration version of the A-class model, in an automobile portal. It is true that the screen is the same as the photo provided by the blogger, with small size and poor resolution. The screen size of the visual dashboard and central control position is only about 4 inches.

Compared with other luxury brand models of the same class, although there is no liquid crystal display screen to replace the mechanical dashboard design, but many netizens say that it is better to use mechanical instruments. For this kind of low-end model reduction, many manufacturers have appeared. Volkswagen's Lang Yi low-end model cancels the central touch screen assembly of the original mobile phone bracket, while the Feido or Ling low-end model also cancels the vehicle central control screen. As to whether consumers are willing to accept this practice, I am afraid that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
