Spy Photos: The Brand-New Mercedes A-Class Reveals Itself

by Sebastian Bivin

Here are the latest spy photos of Mercedes new compact car, the A-Class.

Mercedes has already previewed the next generation A-Class with the concept version, and as you might notice this new A-Class generation doesn’t have anything in common with the current generation A-Class. The A-Class has been called outdated, unimpressive, and even ugly, but Mercedes hopes the next generation will change all of that.

This new generation A-Class heads straight for the BMW 1-Series and the Audi A3 with its compact shape. No more box design for the A-Class. The 5 door hatch is the first one out, followed by a 4 door coupe, the CLC. Later on there might be a 3 door hatch as well as a convertible.

For now we don’t have yet all the specifications, but the engines will be pretty much the same as found in the C-Class, and there will even be an AMG version this time.  This would mean an array of both petrol and diesel engines ranging from 120 to 306 HP. Beside this, the rumor is that the AMG version will feature and all-wheel –drive system.

The new A-Class will probably be revealed in early 2012 with sales beginning shortly thereafter.

The BMW 1-Series and the Audi A3 are a really rough competition for this Mercedes, but with those “engines ranging from 120 to 306 HP” may have a chance in this race 😉

Oh my, that thing looks absolutely horrendous. Are you sure that’s not a Hyundai?
