Very attractive as a hatchback but also with a sedan version for the first time in its range, the new A-Class coming the 2012 aims to bring Mercedes very dynamically back into the demanding small and medium segment.
Mercedes will also play its own active role in the luxury segment of small and medium cars with the next A-Class, which is expected to be very different from today. The new small and medium Mercedes will abandon the current sandwich floor (this will now be used in electric vehicles). It will be based on an all-new front-wheel-drive platform that Mercedes calls Frontwheel Architecture).

By design, the German model will adopt a more classic hatchback body with subtle coupe styling. Generally, both in terms of philosophy and appearance change dramatically for the new Mercedes A-Class which is expected to be very different from the current model, claiming, this time, and clearly more of a young audience.

From a technical point of view, the new front-wheel drive platform we referred to will also be used as a base so that “button up” new motor 1,2 and 1,4 liters with turbo and direct injection, which will come from the Mercedes-Renault partnership. also, the youngest will also be included in the range 1,8 direct injection turbo of the C-Class and E-Class, ενώ θα υπάρξει για πρώτη φορά στην ιστορία και σπορ έκδοση AMG!

End, the fact that for the first time in the car's range we will see a sedan body version is also of great interest. Nouns, this version has no commercial rival at the upper luxury end of the small-medium segment, at least until we officially see the "rumored" Audi A3 sedan.
