A serious addition to the Mercedes-Benz line-up, the German Automaker has just released a four minute promo video to highlight all the great functions available in the new A-Class compact hatchback.

A tidy package, the baby Merc packs a ton of features. Offering a more youthful interior design than its bigger siblings, the A-Class also boasts a prominent center console display right above the center air vents. The COMAND online infotainment system is capable of connecting the driver to incoming emails and messages. The exterior is no less provoking, spearheading a new design direction for Mercedes-Benz.

Mercedes-Benz also made tremendous leaps and bounds in implementing safety features. Distronic Plus adaptive cruise maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead while Lane Keeping Assist keeps the driver from drifting off. Attention Assist warns the driver to take a break when the vehicle senses fatigue. What's more, in the event of a rapid approach to an obstacle, the Collision Prevention Assist will kick in and apply emergency braking to avoid an accident.

Shot in Los Angeles, check out the Mercedes-Benz A-Class promo video below and experience the demonstration of A-Class's unique features in action. Expect the production A-Class to arrive in North America soon. Unfortunately, the hardcore A45 AMG will not be offered in the American market.
