All-new A-Class coming to Michael Moore Mercedes

Mercedes-Benz has lifted the covers off its all-new A-Class; the latest in a generation of cars that the German manufacturer believes will redefine modern luxury in the compact class.

Set to be one of the crowd-pleasing attractions at the Geneva Motor Show, this latest A-Class takes over from a bestseller that has given the brand a distinctly more youthful fan base since its introduction in 1997.

Though numerous body changes have been introduced to give it a noticeably larger and even more energetic appearance, the most obvious overhaul can be seen in the interior, which now exudes a sense of spaciousness and features avant-garde dashboard design and control and display systems.

Arguably its most ingenious feature is an ultra-modern multimedia and infotainment system, one of whose characteristics is a capacity to ‘learn’ thanks to its use of artificial intelligence. This intuitive operating experience is said to significantly reduce driver distraction.

At its heart is a high-resolution touchscreen operation that features a navigation display with augmented reality technology, plus intelligent voice control with natural speech recognition.

Some features in the new A-Class are drawn from models that rank above it in the Mercedes-Benz stable. For example, its multifunctional steering wheel is derived from the S-Class while its front seats incorporate comfort features from its more luxurious siblings, including seat climate control, multi-contour features and a massage function.

A range of new engines comprises two 4 cylinder petrol options of 1.4 litre and 2.0 litre capacity, and a new 1.5-litre diesel with power outputs in the 116 to 224hp range initially, with higher performance AMG versions following. These engines are mated to either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic transmission.

Advanced safety systems include see-ahead camera and radar with up to 500 metres range plus many active features now common in Mercedes-Benz models, including Lane Keeping, Adaptive Braking, and various Distance Control and Driver Assist systems. Model range and prices will be announced closer to launch.
