The tail light cluster has been redesigned and the headlamps reshaped, giving the car a broader appearance. We’ve created a new-look front apron with a more angular, sporty-looking air intake, and reworked the radiator grille. In fact, each Mercedes-Benz A-Class model line now has its own distinctive grille louvres.
The new generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class features an array of subtle design touches that lift the car to another level of dynamism and style.
In addition, we’ve made the Mercedes-Benz A-Class bonnet slightly shorter and steeper. In combination with the large, sloping windscreen, this adds drama to the car’s signature sweeping shoulder line.
Other details depend on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class model line you choose. For example, the Elegance SE is fitted with stunning 16” 10-twin-spoke alloy wheels while the Avantgarde SE features a more athletic 5-spoke design.
Now even Greener
We've significantly reduced Mercedes-Benz A-Class fuel consumption and CO2 emissions without compromising performance. This has been achieved in part through weight reduction and improved aerodynamics.
Petrol models include the superb A 150 and A 170, which both offer ample torque and good fuel economy. We’re also introducing ultra-green BlueEFFICIENCY versions*, incorporating a range of fuel-saving measures. These include an ECO start / stop function for conserving petrol in heavy traffic. From March 2009, the A 150 and A 170 will feature this function.
As for diesel, there’s the A 160 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY – with a 3-door Fuel Economy Variant available from September 2008. This model achieves an impressive
119 g/km CO2.
