After a message claiming that “If this summer wasn’t hot enough for you, the Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 4Matic will turn the heat up”, many criticized the company for the environmental implications of the slogan.

Mercedes quickly back-pedalled, and apologised for the tone-deaf tweet as well as referring to their Ambition 2039 plan, by when they aim to have a completely CO2 neutral lineup.
