A-Class [Hot!] 2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan concept

[Mr. Mercedes]

If that's it, it looks good.

If the A sedan ends up looking that good, what can we expect for the CLA.

This might be an exceptionally flattering shot, but the 1 series sedan may be in big trouble.

The next CLA is going to be a gorgeous little CLS IMO

The proportions are already there.

[klier]

Yeah, those gorgeous FWD proportions

If this is it then MB continue to make terrible back ends.

 

[fortuner]

Nice clean looking design..I think its a good job.

^^ I find the current range of Mercedes cars a mixed bag of very attractive back ends to very ordinary. The S sedan and coupe are sublime and so is the E Coupe, but the E sedan is very ordinary, and the C sedan is odd looking without the AMG treatment. The C coupe is stubby, and the AMG GT and GT4 are soft and bulbous. The Jaguar F Type is much better at the rear than the AMG GT. The new A hatch is all Audish and hence a tired looking design. The new CLS is now looking the best of the new breed of Mercedes.

If the A sedan carries the same design as shown above, it will be in the ugly category for me.

Rear looks like a Hyundai to me.

Can we expect a T-Model this time around ?
If so: CLA T, A-Class T or both?

PS: Ride quality and handling characteristics are finally resolved it seems.
A truer Mercedes experience it looks like.
I still don't like its looks but there's no question it's a big step up from the turd it replaces.
Design preference aside this new A-Class is undoubtedly a fantastic proposition in this segment.
Same goes for tech and interior. The T-Model would be my pick from MB's entry level lineup.

Probably not, mini_cooper, since even a new CLA SB isn't likely.

Mercedes will launch eight cars off the new-generation A-Class. But the CEO Dieter Zetsche says none of them will be smaller than the A. There will be no Mini rival from Stuttgart.

What are the cars? Well, the new A-Class itself, recently revealed and soon on sale. Then, says Zetsche, “we will further expand the SUVs. We need something more SUV than the GLA.” He’s talking about a boxy vehicle that’s been seen testing in disguise. It has the outline of a mini G-Wagen. It will, sources say, be called GLB and will have three rows of seats.

“The new BMW X2 is basically like the [current] GLA,” Zetsche observes wryly. “And you will see a new GLA. As in other segments we’ll have two interpretations. So the GLA will be more in the SUV direction, and that will expand our scope. It gives us the possibility of doing something between the A-Class and the GLA.” So, three crossovers: GLA Coupe, GLA and GLB.

“There will be a three-box [saloon], mostly for the USA and Asia,” he says. That’s been previewed by the Concept A Sedan at the Shanghai show last year. We understand there will also be a LWB version of that Sedan especially for China.


Don’t confuse the A saloon with the CLA – that one has done well for Mercedes in the US and will be replaced. But a new CLA Shooting Brake isn’t likely. The CLS Shooting Brake has also died, remember.

So: a hatch, three four-doors, three SUVs. And finally, a replacement for the B-Class MPV. That’s your eight.

Thanks for sharing, mate!
It's a pity. Would've made for a great family cruiser.

 

[Merc1]

Where the hell is the car?

They should make it.
Looks better than both the hatch and sedan.
