The new Laika A-Class – a top-level range – are developed for demanding customers. The philosophy that inspired the creation of this range is based on a combination of two factors: an extremely advanced construction technique – also designed for winter use – and a top-level Italian design. This means that Laika is not changing its positioning. On the contrary Laika will keep its strategic market position in the A-class segment by concentrating again only on luxurious A-class vehicles.
The new Laika A-Class show an exclusive design both outside – thanks to a “modern looking” front part with car-like front lights – and also inside, thanks to Italian style interior decoration. This allows the new range to show a strong personality. The Ecovip A-class also feature interesting points of strength: functional solutions for top-level comfort on board,
quality materials, storages areas and many layouts for the customers.
This new serie comes with 9 internal layouts of varying lengths: one under 6 meters, five internal layouts with lengths of between 6 and 7 m., and three layouts measuring 7.49 m. All vehicles have Fiat Ducato mechanics with a widened track.
