Models sporting the Three-Pointed Star may be just what you need for Christmas
Auto Nation Group Inc., official importer and distributor of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, parts, and accessories in the Philippines, presents five of its outstanding models as gift options to choose from. These range from the fashionable to the adventurous, ensuring that for a specific personality, there’s a Mercedes-Benz that’s a perfect fit.
Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan
Start with the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan, a lightweight model that’s heavy on tech. Striking LED headlamps with signature daytime running lights exude dynamism along with the prominent crease running along the beltline. A set of 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels complement the car’s stance.

Highlighting the interior space for five occupants is the Mercedes-Benz User Experience or MBUX interface. The A-Class is the first to come equipped with this infotainment system, operated through the 7-inch touchscreen, steering wheel touch control buttons, or even voice commands. An intelligent Linguatronic voice control system recognizes natural speech patterns, and the onboard artificial intelligence adapts to the driver over time, perfect for tech-savvy users.
The A-Class ranges in price from Php 2,490,000 for the 180 Progressive 1.3 AT variant to Php 3,290,000 for the 200 Progressive 1.3 AT.
Mercedes-Benz CLA Coupe
Move up to the CLA-Class Coupe if you’re looking for something that defies convention. The sporty design will appeal to those who would rather forge their own path than follow trends. Powerful elements such as the low-slung power dome hood hovering over the diamond grille and LED high-performance headlamps put mundaneness in the backseat, echoing the brand’s classic sports cars.

Stunning lines on the surface also give the CLA Coupe an impressive aerodynamic profile. This delivers enviable performance in concert with the model’s Dynamic Select feature, which allows drivers to choose from several unique settings such as Eco, Comfort, Sport+, and Off-road. The CLA-Class 180 Progressive 1.3 AT retails for Php 3,190,000.
Mercedes-Benz GLA Crossover
The GLA subcompact luxury crossover combines beauty and robustness.

The interior features illuminated air vents and a widescreen cockpit that integrates the all-digital instrument panel with the multimedia touchscreen head unit.

An Eco Start/Stop system enhances fuel economy and reduces emissions during extended idling. The GLA-Class 180 Urban 1.6 AT carries a sticker price of Php 2,790,000.
Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV
Those seeking adventure will find an ideal companion with the GLC SUV, with its muscular proportions headlined by multibeam LED headlamps. A chrome-plated tailpipe adds a touch of elegance to the rear, while the stance is made even more head-turning by 18-inch 5-spoke light alloy wheels on all corners.

Power comes from a 2.0-liter inline-4 gasoline engine that makes 197 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque. The powertrain is more than potent enough to carry up to five occupants plus cargo inside a well-appointed cabin. Pricing for the GLC 200 is at Php 4,290,000.
Mercedes-Benz V-Class
The size of the V-Class makes it easier to spread the joy to more of the people that matter to you. This multi-purpose vehicle offers a versatile interior that can accommodate anywhere between eight occupants or a combination of passengers and cargo. Seats can be configured to face each other, useful for business meetings on the go.
Mercedes-Benz V-Class
Outside, an LED Intelligent Light System adjusts illumination depending on driving conditions, even enabling the headlamps to swivel vertically and horizontally. A 2.0-liter diesel engine packs 163 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque, mated to a 7-speed G-Tronic Plus automatic transmission. The V-Class ranges from Php 3,990,000 for the Vito 116 CDI Tourer Base Extra Long 2.1 AT to Php 5,190,000 for the CDI Avantgarde Extra Long 2.1 AT.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class Launch
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class has been around for nearly two decades now from its first introduction to the global automotive market in the late ’90s. Shortly after its 2018 model release, Auto Nation Group introduced the 2019 A-Class to the Philippine market. Following the success of the A-Class in the local market, Mercedes-Benz Philippines introduced a new model of the said nameplate in September 2019.
Mercedes-Benz A-Class Exterior
Since its initial launch, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class’ design drastically evolved from looking like a compact hatchback to the sleek and modern luxury hatchback it is today. The A-Class generation embodies the brand’s signature aesthetic with added functionality. On each side of the vehicle are horizontal lines that run from the front to the rear, adding to the sporty vibe of the façade. Each line on its surface has been aerodynamically optimized to reduce fuel consumption and driving noise. The front fascia is decked with a hexagonal design matched with more round edges that add to the strong character of the vehicle.
The A-Class Philippines comes with angular LED headlamps, daytime running lamps, and elongated LED taillights. It rides on 17-inch alloys made of vanadium silver.
Mercedes-Benz A-Class Interior
The German brand is known for its impressive attention to detail which can be seen and felt inside the A-Class through its large cabin, which is a vast leap from its previous generation model. All seats of the new A-Class are upholstered in premium leather materials which are electrically adjustable. The dashboard sports a minimalist design and layout accentuated with three turbine-like AC vents. Its three-spoke steering wheel completes the timeless yet modern look of the interior.
