Mercedes-Benz Malaysia Updates Compact A-Class, GLA and GLB

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia announced that it has made several updates to its new generation compact models in an effort to continue providing the best product offerings in the market. These changes involve the A-Class sedan, GLA and GLB SUVs.

The A-Class sedan features a sporty take on the classy 3-box design with practicality in mind. Mercedes-Benz has taken a new approach with this compact model by giving it a more generous sense of interior space as well as a larger boot for functionality.

Meanwhile, the versatile 7-seater GLB SUV is also equipped with Blind Spot Assist as standard. It also includes the Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive High-beam Assist, and Wireless Charging as standard safety and convenient features. Ambient lighting is also now standard.
