The upcoming launch of the new vehicles will include the world premiere of the high-performance Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Coupe and the battery-powered Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive. In addition to these two new models, the show will also see the US debut of the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG “Edition 507”, the all-wheel drive Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model wagon, and the latest series-production model of the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class.
According to Mercedes-Benz Cars Sales and Marketing Executive Vice President Dr. Joachim Schmidt, following the record sales in 2012, the company is ready to set a new record in sales for 2013 with its continuing product offerings. This will add to the momentum of the global success of the company.
Mercedes-Benz USA President and CEO Stephen Cannon revealed that the company started strong in 2013 and they expect US sales in the first quarter to set a new record.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG will be unveiled for the first time at the NYIAS and it is expected to appeal to new markets.

Its turbo-charged two-liter engine features an output reaching 133kW (181hp) for every liter displacement, which surpasses a good number of sports cars in the market. Its handling will be first-class due to the AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive system, and offers a 0-100km/h sprint of 4.6 seconds.
The series-production model of the latest Mercedes-Benz CLA will also mark its US debut. It will feature turbo-charged engines that generate an output of 155kW (211hp) and the 4MATIC all-wheel drive system.
