Here is the Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan – The new Mercedes model puts a very special record

It seems obvious Mercedes-Benz, as they launched A-Class with brask and bram shortly after class A debuted in its fourth edition, with a particularly high-tech interior that impressed us in the tests ( but optional).

Like its predecessor, the Mercedes-Benz CLA, it is based on a compact VW Golf, but while the combination is larger than its predecessor, the sedan is held relatively short by its 455 centimeters in length.

In fact, it is 8 centimeters shorter than the CLA, while class A of the other has increased by 12 centimeters compared to the previous generation. While the sedan was 33 centimeters longer than the suit, the difference is now only 13 centimeters.

Registering Air Resistance

But since the new Class A sedan, thanks to its obviously ultra-efficient design, CLA turns the aerodynamics on. There is simply a new record for mass-produced passenger cars. With a Cd of only 0.22 and a smaller frontal area (2.19 square meters) than the CLA – which had the previous record – it further increases the list in this chapter.

Note that the equipment level, coefficient motorization, so 0.22 is in the best case.

Otherwise, the design of the newcomer fits perfectly in the current trend of Stuttgart and emphasizes that the brand wants to appear more dynamic than a few years ago. Still, it looks more like a classic sedan in profile than its predecessor did with its more pronounced coupe shape. This favors the head space of another seat

Stretched between the wheels

Aside from the length of 455 centimeters, the car makes 180 centimeters wide and 145 centimeters high. It has short overhangs and especially to our eyes the fence seems to be out of control, something that we recognize since class C. But the wheelbase is relatively long 273 centimeters. You can choose between several wheel sizes with rim diameters from 16 to 19 inches.

The interior, as always with the German premium brands, can be specified according to ambitions and budget. For example, the digital cockpit is equipped with two 7-inch screens as standard. The level above has a 7-inch handset with a 10.25-inch middle while the top version (the images here) has two 10.25-inch displays that provide all the information available and acts as a multimedia solution.

The newcomer will be presented at the Paris Motor Show in October and will be on sale from here the end of l & # 39; year.

The car is launched with the easy choice of a gasoline and diesel engine, both in combination with Mercedes' two-speed two-speed transmission. In the A 180, the diesel engine comes from Renault, which we saw as something in the mall. It is a 1.5 liter engine developing 116 horsepower and 260 newton meters

The A 200 gasoline engine is a 1.3 liter 1.3 liter engine developing 163 horsepower, with a couple of 250 Newton meters.

then, with the exception of the rather generous 420-liter luggage compartment, will have mostly in common with the other Class A, which you can read more here:
