Current generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class hatchbacks worked wonders for the German brand by bringing them into the limelight and stack up against top contenders in the hatchback category. However, there were a few hitches with.
Bring on the 2018 model, and all those issues are to be resolved as the German manufacturer is increasing the vehicle’s size, options, safety features and practicality.
Base models or the A 180 will stick with the front wheel setup as will the A 250. A 45 AMG models will confidently stay with the all-wheel drive setup. All models will utilise a revised underpinnings providing an extended wheelbase equating to increased interior space. Fitted with a reshaped rear end, boot space is expected to increase as is rear leg and head room.
Sources also indicate that new lighting fixtures at both the front and rear end are ready for a refresh with newly designed patterns and split rear light arrangement.
Upcoming models are to benefit from similar interior looks and feels. Following in the footsteps of the C and E-Class, expect the interior to sport far more inviting materials covering the seats, headliner and dashboard, a simpler dash and larger digital display mounted in the centre console. That standard twisty knob that controls the media is replaced by a touchpad and most importantly, Mercedes have dropped a load of safety features including Steering Assist and many others.
