The CLA Safety Hub is born
The most significant novelty of this season is the creation of the CLA Safety Hub. It is a dedicated area around which all practical tests and dynamic exercises within the Centers will take place. During the courses, the entire CLA range in its versions 100% electric, hybrid, sedan and shooting brake will allow participants to test directly the active and passive safety technologies developed by the Star. This setup transforms technology into concrete experience: from the operation of driver assistance systems to emergency maneuvers on controlled courses, drivers will be able to understand firsthand how engineering solutions contribute to preventing accidents and mitigating risks.
