Daimler-Nissan JV To Build Next-Gen CLA, Unnamed A-Class At Mexican Plant

2014 Mercedes CLA

Aside from Infiniti sharing engines with Mercedes, the Daimler-Nissan joint venture will also lead to production of the next-gen CLA and an A-Class sedan at Nissan's plant in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

Automotive News Europe reports Daimler's board will approve the decision within the next two weeks. Although the GLA crossover was supposed to go over to Mexico originally, insiders claim that the CLA and the unnamed A-Class will take its place.

Production is set to begin in time for exportation to the United States in 2017, with an Infiniti compact — built upon Mercedes' FWD bones — to join the CLA and A-Class. Annual output is expected to be around 100,000 to 150,000 units.
