AutoExec Summary
Mercedes-Benz Australia has corrected previous information about its cheapest models, clarifying that they will not be fitted with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, resulting in increased fuel consumption for the affected vehicles. The models affected are the A-Class, CLA, GLA, and GLB. The lower-torque models have lower fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions compared to the new 270Nm engine. Mercedes-Benz has not confirmed how many vehicles have been delivered with the lower-torque engine.
