Briefing newsmen at the
launch, Mr. Mirko Plath, Managing Director, Weststar Associates,
representatives of Mercedes-Benz in Nigeria, said “We are excited to
present excellent fireworks of new products to meet customers’ needs.
Mercedes-Benz is a premium brand of automobiles with sensational appeal.
Speaking specifically on
the models Plath said the all-new A-class debuted in March
this year with an entirely new concept.
“The A-class was first
launched in 1997 as a mini car with safety as its core feature but today the
car’s concept has changed to make it a market leader in its segment. It now has
a trendy design and luxury features of a typical Mercedes with powerful engine
and exceptional fuel efficiency.
The B-class was launched in
Nigeria in 2009 but failed to attract significant market share.
It is being re-launched as
a family car to attract more buyers, Plath said.
The C-class however was
introduced last year and has made considerable progress in the market. The
E-class meanwhile remains Mercedes-Benz cash cow in Nigeria; little wonder Weststar
introduced the E-200 version to consolidate her market share.
The dealership is cautious on
introducing more models to the country owing to the quality of fuel dispensed
at the service stations.
