AutoExec Summary
Mercedes Benz Australia has corrected a previous claim that its ‘200’ variants across A-Class, GLA, GLB, and CLA would feature the brand’s 48-volt electrification. The company confirmed that the facelifted entry models in the ‘200’ drivetrain category do not feature the tech, known as ‘mild-hybrid’, and will feature a different engine tune if built after a certain date. This affects emissions ratings and fuel consumption figures from the mislabeled engines. The updated information provided by Mercedes-Benz Australia is available at the bottom of the story.

Brands mentioned: Mercedes-Benz, A-Class, GLA, GLB, CLA
