A report by the news agency Reuters said the brand’s owner, DaimlerChrysler, had announced that the car will be produced in Juiz de Fora where it already builds the saloon version.
The model will mainly be exported to the company’s core European markets, with assembly beginning in the first quarter of 2007.
In August last year, DaimlerChrysler ended production of the first generation Mercedes-Benz A-class at the Brazilian Juiz de Fora plant, in Minas Gerais state.
Mercedes didn’t replace the A-class at Juiz deFora with the second generation model on sale in many other markets. Instead, it restarted assembly of C-class sedans from German-made CKD kits for the US and Canada, resurrecting a deal last operational between 2001 and 2004.
