A-Class (W176) [Official] Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W176)

[Mr. Mercedes]

If the software is still the same, I'm sure it will work fine or when the appropriate adaptor is available. @Wolfgang may be able to clarify the matter for you though.

HI GUYS

I have been offered the following fro delivery mid March

A220 CDI RED /black ARTICO
235 active park assist (what is this )
345 rain sensor
413 pano roof
543 ill sun visors
810 hk sound
u25 ill door sills
u62 light and sight not sure what this is

this is R 387000,00 rands

I am tempted as its not loaded so I wont loose when I sell though I see it has no packages and it don't have LED
I am not sure how it will looks with out the led and the normal standard pack inside and out

anyone can help with pictures to help me decide I have to answer by Tuesday.I was thinking of a A250 but this will be my daily car a A220 cdi will be perfect.

We had the Maluti Classic Car Show here in Bethlehem FS yesterday. The theme was Carroll Shelby and it was great seeing dozens of original Cobra's etc. This event is growing by the year.

Getting to the point. All local new car dealers was also on display here in typical South-African tradition with their cars in the open-air and sun. New Vaal Mercedes had more Chrysler/Jeep products than M-B's on display, me hoping they had a new A-class here. The attendant or salesperson on duty showed me photo's on his phone of the Seven, A's hidden at the dealership storing fascility to be delivered to customers after the official launch in April. He has prove of Nine more orders (on-order) to be delivered in June and July.

I just can't get around the fact that DAMLER SA is launching the A's so late here in SA. Hochland Auto BMW's dealer Principal told me they can take orders for the 4er to be delivered in October/November!

Edit: R387 000...so the CLA's going to much more expensive than the Current C-class here.

[fortuner]

I really feel ashamed as a car fan, when brands use singers or any other type of artists and celebrities to promote cars.

This will make you cringe

C class boasting? really?
Looks like he has toilet paper in his bushes..??

The tag still on his jacket

The list can go on and on

hi all, a new member from Sydney here.

I just ordered a white A200 petrol, vision, command and exclusive pack. I was told July =( serves me right for thinking about it before pulling the trigger.

Just wondering if anyone had an update on the Command Online or iPhone app backwards compatibility once it's available in Australia.

I mainly just want the ability to use Siri.

Thanks in advance

Does anyone Know how the A220 cdi I put on previous page interior will look what kind seats it will have

 

[W201]

Since it's 220 CDI,it will almost certainly have sport seats, but I cannot tell if it will be leather ones. The are few types of seats in the new A-Class, and few types of sport seats.

The base seats:

The sport seats:

The sport seats, another version (with ambient lighting below headrests):

The sport seats - alcantara:

The sport seats - full leather:

Also, there are limousine-like seats, barely seen on this picture:

Now, these should be all types of seats that go into the new A-Class, but which one will you have - I have no idea. Not all of them are available in all packages. Limo-seats are not an option on AMG-Sport models, I believe, and they come only as on option on other packages. Again, since you have 220 CDI, base seats are probably not an option too. My guess is you will probably have base sport seats. To me, they are too hard, not really comfortable, but they feel very well made.

Hope this helped

According to Ireland MB site, these are the contents of U62 Light and Sight:

Light and Sight Pack (Code U62) - Recommended
Windscreen wipers with rain sensor
Single-colour ambient lighting
Indirect illumination of the door pulls/door openers in the front and rear
Footwell lighting in front and rear
Illuminated door entry panels “Mercedes-Benz” lettering in the door sills
Illuminated vanity mirrors for the driver and front passenger
Rear-view mirror with additional lighting
Illuminated stowage compartment in the centre console
Reading lights and console light in the rear headlining
Courtesy and warning lights in the front doors
Warning and ambient lights in the luggage compartment door
In conjunction with sports seats, illumination of the opening between the front and rear head restraints

Regarding the bold one, looks like your A-Class should come with seats in the picture number 3

So, the limo-like seats which I mentioned earlier (at the bottom pic of my post) are actually standard seats, but in leather?

 

[fortuner]

Yeah sounds like I was hoping they the sport type seat...The SA website configurator doesn't even have the new A class how pathetic.

Welcome to the club gumpy. There's about 5 Aussies on here now who have ordered the A.

At this stage MB Australia is saying the drive kit system (full iPhone integration with Siri) will NOT be available here. Currently the iPhone does not even work with the Command Online functions and if you want this you will need to wait for the model year 2014 A-class. The MY2014 will get the upgraded Command unit (NTG 4.5 3rd Generation) which is supposed to allow the use of Command Online functions with the iPhone. MY2014 is supposed to start production in June, meaning you would get your car in August. This means waiting 1 month more, which really isn't much in the scheme of things to ensure you have the latest generation of Command. It's also rumoured the black and white display in the middle of the instrument cluster will be replaced with a full colour display as is the case in the CLA.
