An A-Class owner shares his class-A experience with his phenomenal Star.

Thank you for bringing the A-180 D model to India. I have invested all my savings in this dream purchase. I love to drive and I’ve travelled extensively from November to July of this year. My road trips saw me cover (Pune / Lonawala / Solapur / Kolhapur / Digi / Roha / Ratnagiri / Alibaug / Hyderabad / Secunderabad / Nasik / Kanpur / Lucknow / Agra / Fatehpur Sikri/ Jaipur / Jodhpur / Jaisalmer (Close to the Pakistan border) / Udaipur / Mount Abu / Ahmedabad / Baroda / Ankleshwar and onwards.

My car has become a part of my family. It was an integral part of my wedding and my sis-in-law’s wedding as well.

The best thing is the unmatched beauty of the car with equally stunning performance, its outstanding mileage of up to 24.39 km/ltr on highways. It’s feels very safe and stable to drive and the driving comfort is top notch. Plus there are tons of features to keep the driver at ease.

What really surprised me was when we easily scaled uphill to a bauxite mine with almost 7 kms of off-roading. A lot of the other cars in the group got stuck and weren’t able to cover even 1/5th of the distance. The only other vehicles that could get up there would be trucks / 4x4 Jeeps / SUVs with a good ground clearance. I enjoyed driving my car and even felt a little smug of navigating the journey effortlessly.

The A-Class is backed by impeccable service. And the Relationship Manager & his team really pampered me and my car. However, what I really miss in the car is a sun-roof and twin exhausts which was only available in the petrol variant. A little more ground clearance and harder tires would make the car more suitable for Indian Roads.

I have attached the picture from our expedition. And I know there will be many such unforgettable road trips with my A-Class.

Thank you so much Mercedes-Benz.

A-Class Owner, Mr. Vijay Pandian
