A-Class [Hot!] 2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan concept
- Thread starter BMW3GT
- Start date
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a car manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. It has been marketed across generations as a front-engine, front-wheel drive, five-passenger, five-door hatchback, with a three-door hatchback offered for the second generation, as well as a saloon version for the fourth.

The CLA is a 4 door coupe. It would be very difficult to pull off a sleek swoopy profile without looking anything but cartoonish to a degree.
The Audi A3 sedan is proof that a mature, classy well proportioned product can be achieved within the dimensional frameworks of this class.
The most recent videos of the vehicle present the vehicle in a much better light, but it's still not as good as it should be and my issues remain.
Those first shots of the red car, which almost look CGI like, have painted this vehicle in the worst possible light.

I hear you, but don't you think that the fresh and differentiated design language of the A/CLA from a classic Mercedes, is the reason for MB finally achieving success amongst young buyers?

So we're going to have a A-Class sedan and a CLA? Same relatation the CLS is to the E-Class? GLB and GLA too? I mean Mercedes is going hog wild with the small car platform.
I don't care how many variants they make long as the quality is there. The CLA doesn't even remotely feel, ride, drive or behave like a Mercedes. It's a complete bastard, an embarrassment.

Hopefully, this new platform will address these issues
Most people buy it for the badge so MB can get away with it. It is crazy how the CLA is almost on the same price level as the C-class.

True, but if these people don't know anything about Mercedes, and the CLA is their first Mercedes experience they aren't likely to stay with the brand IMO. I wouldn't if I didn't know how good their other more expensive cars are. A friend just bought a 2016 CLA with 20K on the clock and it's a mess of a car. Rattles and squeaks everywhere, uncomfortable seats, crashy ride, noisy on the highway, it's terrible. Yes for 35-40K a brand new CLS should at least match the refinement of a previous generation C-Class instead of behaving like an economy car. There is no Mercedes DNA in the CLA, none.

Something else may precede it, as MB Passion was not permitted to take interior pictures yet.

Let's hope the production version looks like this. But the previous german FWD concept cars have turned out quite different in production trim.
This concept illustrates the new styling direction for Mercedes especially changes in the front light design which is much angular and sharper than the current Mercedes models. I am not immediately liking this new light design but maybe in real life it will look better. The front panamericana grill looks good but hoping it will not be used for all models and only AMG models to keep its exclusivity. The stubby rear end and especially the back lights make me think of the rear of the 190 series. It's different to the current Mercedes styling but gives hints to the past. I wish they would have shown us the interior that is something I would be more interested in seeing if it would show this car looking upmarket and new style for the younger generation

I was under the impression that this was the CLA? Or the concept that previews the upcoming one?
