The first cars with what3words technology integrated into the navigation system were the 2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vehicles. Existing vehicles with the latest COMAND or MBUX also have what3words enabled via an over-the-air update, as long as they are linked to Mercedes me and have Local Search activated.

• Hatchback
• Saloon
• Estates
• SUVs
• Coupe
• Cabriolets
• People carrier / van
