the small C-Class – Automotive News

The new Mercedes A-Clbad was until now offered in a single 5-door body. But with the success of the outgoing generation, and no doubt also the mixed reception at the current CLA, Mercedes has decided to offer a tri-body body on the basis of clbad A.

Like the new compact at the star grew up, the base was particularly adapted to transform it into a sedan. The length increases reasonably by 13 cm, a total of 4.55 m.

This new Mercedes A-clbad sedan is fairly balanced at the design level, with horizontal optical blocks more successful than those of the current Clbad C. [19659005] Other strengths: a very successful aerodynamics and record equal to that of the old CLA coupe with a Cx of 0.22, and a trunk volume that pbades to 420 liters of capacity.

Technological and mechanical content is logically modeled on that of the new Mercedes A-Clbad. At launch, buyers will have the choice between the Mercedes clbad A 200 sedan of 163 hp with double clutch box 7G DCT, homologated between 119 and 124 g, and clbad A 180 This diesel version consumes a good liter less than the gasoline version, with a power it is certainly much reduced.

Mercedes has scheduled the presentation at the Paris Motor Show next October, for commercialization in Europe early 2019.
