MERCEDES-BENZ AT THE 72ND GENEVA MOTOR SHOW: WORLD PREMIERE OF THE NEW CLK-CLASS

In addition, trailblazing high-tech systems from the Mercedes luxury class are available for the CLK-Class as optional equipment for the first time: DISTRONIC proximity cruise control, the access and drive authorisation system KEYLESS-GO, bi-xenon headlamps and LINGUATRONIC voice control for the telephone and radio.

Mercedes-Benz has developed the ELEGANCE and AVANTGARDE lines with dedicated design and equipment features for a more individualised CLK-Class Coupé.

Public premiere of the new A 210 EVOLUTION

Other new Mercedes models at this year's Geneva Motor Show include the A 210 EVOLUTION, the top model in the A-Class, and the Vaneo compact MPV.

The A 210 EVOLUTION is powered by a 103 kW/140 hp four-cylinder engine with a maximum torque of 205 Newton metres. This provides a maximum speed of 203 km/h and accelerates the compact car from zero to 100 km/h in only 8.2 seconds. The new A 210 EVOLUTION emphasises its special position in the wide A-Class model range with striking additions such as sporty Mercedes-AMG body styling, attractive 17-inch light-alloy wheels and a sports design radiator grille with perforated silver louvres. Exterior mirrors with integral indicator repeaters are also new in the A-Class as a typical Mercedes design feature.

The exclusive interior underlines the special status of the A 210 EVOLUTION: dark-grey leather, light Alcantara and brushed aluminium ensure a particularly luxurious impression.
