Commenting on the CLA 45 AMG sedan, which is powered by a 2 litre engine, Mercedes official Ola Kallenius said it would appeal to the young at heart people who love speed. The car can attain speed of 100 Km per hour in just 4.6 seconds.

Bullish on the Indian market, Ola said the country is a key market and would be among its top 10 global markets by 2020. Mercedes would complete its 20 years in India this year.

"India would be among the top 10 world markets of Mercedes Benz by 2020. The company is interested in India and has long term view for that," he said adding that sales in India has grown proportionally.

"By 2020 Mercedes would have 13 new models which would have no predecessor and some of them would come to India," said Ola.

He further added that the company would launch new cars for the growing markets as China, India and Russia.

When asked about the company's plans for assembling more models in India, he said it was definitely on the cards but did not disclose whether the A Class or the B Class would be rolled out from the company's Pune plant.

The German firm had received bookings for 125 units of the new S class within 16 days of its launch, said Kern.
