The pronounced arrow-shaped front section and expressive radiator grille give the A-Class both an air of self-confidence and a decidedly energetic look. The flanks, with two striking structural lines, and the powerfully muscular rear wings give a feeling of forwards thrust even when the car is at a standstill.
The coupé-like side line with the curved roof, beltline rising towards the rear and long, narrow, glass area emphasises the sporty appearance of the new A-Class. The B-pillar is covered by the "frame under glass" design of the door.
The distinctly wide rear end with horizontal structuring exudes power and athleticism. This is thanks to the bicolour tail lamps, which extend well into the sides of the vehicle. At night an innovative lighting design gives the new A-Class an exciting aura

4-cylinder diesel engines
- Clean technology: measures such as tyres with low rolling resistance, intelligently controlled ancillaries and optimised aerodynamics all help to sustainably increase the vehicle's efficiency. The A 220 CDI already complies with the requirements of the Euro 6 emissions standard.
- Easy on the environment: the standard ECO start/stop function ensures that the engine is temporarily switched off if the vehicle is stationary, thereby saving fuel. In addition, the ECO display in the instrument cluster provides information about how efficient the driver's driving style is, prompting them to modify their behaviour and thereby reducing fuel consumption.
Ride comfort you can feel
The handling in the new A-Class gives even more motoring pleasure, thanks to the enhanced McPherson front axle and newly-designed 4-link rear axle. In addition to this standard configuration for suspension and steering system, other combinations are optionally available.
Forwards thrust.
Both transmission systems for the new front-wheel drive A-Class set benchmarks when it comes to shift comfort, efficiency and weight optimisation; and they are optimally tuned to the engine. Whether you want a sporty or a relaxed drive - gear-changing will always be comfortable in the new A-Class.
