Two new Mercedes-Benz models launched

New A-Class
Two models at different ends of the brand's model range have been launched in Ireland by Mercedes-Benz, writes Brian Byrne.

The new generation A-Class (above) is larger than its predecessor, with a significantly stronger presence evident especially from the front.

More room inside for passengers, and a larger luggage space also feature, and the car also comes with the Mercedes-Benz MBUX multimedia and entertainment system.

Engine options are 1.4 and 2.0 petrol and a 1.5 diesel, with 6-speed manual and 7-speed automatic options.

Prices at launch begin at €31,600, while entry petrol and diesel models prices from around €30,000 will arrive later.

The latest generation CLS Coupe is also now on the Irish market with prices starting at €64,805. All are automatic, and are available with all-wheel drive. Both diesel and petrol engines are on the list.

It is the third generation of a 5-seat 4-door coupe first introduced in 2003.

At that point, with Aggro up very close and personal to the riverboat, we really didn't need the reminder. The crocodile might not be showing big interest in raw chops, but a couple of fingers or a hand might well have tempted him to an appetiser. "Come on, Aggro," Steve called again, this time almost bouncing the tasty pork on the croc's nostrils. After a further investigation, swishing his tail to stay with us against the current, he made a rather half-hearted jump at the bait, but failed to win as it was whipped beyond him. Then he simply gave up and disappeared under the boat. "OK, we'll go and see if one of ...
