Daimler just started production on the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class and they've already debuted a new model, the A-Class L. But before I go any further, I'll note that the A-Class L will only be available to China. This is the point where we play the sad trumpet sound. “With our Chinese customers’ wishes and needs in mind, we developed the A‑Class L Sedan for the local market, which is the first and only long wheelbase model in the premium compact car segment,” said Hubertus Troska, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, responsible for Greater China. “This long wheelbase version offers added space, with a rear compartment dedicated to meeting local preferences."
