Mercedes A-Class: Soon three-door

The 3-door version of the Mercedes A-Class finally gets the green light for production and so do we, with the help of our spies, we present you her impressive who.
The new generation of the Mercedes A-Class will be enriched within the next two years with two more new body versions, who will base their presence on it. So there will be the new Mercedes CLA, the first small and medium sedan in the history of the brand, but also the new Mercedes GLA, its first small and medium SUV. So what is left of this range; A 3 door version, which will appeal to the category's young audience and which, it is expected to be revealed to us by the Germans next year.

Young body with coupe elements
Our information points to an unveiling of the new 3-door A-Class at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March, however our spies from today, they reveal to us which is the most attractive small and medium Mercedes model. The 3-door A-Class will naturally base its presence on the 5-door versions of the model, differentiating in the piece from the front pillars and back.

So from there on, the side doors will be enlarged to accommodate rear seat entry, the roof will drop to the rear pillar less vertically and the second side windows will acquire a sharper finish. The end result, it is expected to give us a 3-door model that will look towards the coupe models and will come to emphasize the already impressive lines of the new A-Class.

Familiar engines and top AMG version
The range of available mechanical packages of the 3-door Mercedes A-Class will borrow from that of the 5-door version and thus, we will see the same petrol and diesel engines, with the first starting from 1,6 liters and the second of the 1,5 l. The big news, however, in the case of the younger A-Class, it is the fact that the top version of the German small-medium will be built on it, the famous A45 AMG.

According to information, this version will receive Mercedes' 2-liter turbo gasoline engine, which after AMG treatments, will yield approx 350 "horses". This power will be managed by the famous 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT gearbox, so that he can send it to 4 car wheels.

The new Mercedes A-Class is attractive

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.
