In a recent press release, the new Mercedes Benz A Class was unveiled. Scheduled to make its world debut at the Auto Mobil International (AMI) motor show, which will take place in Leipzig starting April 5th, 2008, the Mercedes junior is, according to MB, younger, more attractive and more environmentally friendly.
The front part features new headlights and a redesigned bumper with new, larger air intake, redesigned radiator grille, while the rear features a modified bumper and new-look tail lights. We also have new, larger exterior mirror and door handles. The new A Class comes standard with 15 inch 7-spoke wheels, while the Avantgarde and Elegnace versions feature 16 inch alloy wheels.
“The new-generation A-Class has a fuel consumption between 4.9 and 8.1 litres per 100 kilometres. Thanks to further detailed enhancements, fuel consumption of the sophisticated direct-injection diesel engines has been reduced by over 8 percent or 0.5 litres per 100 kilometres compared with the outgoing models. From autumn 2008, Mercedes-Benz will supply a standard-fit BlueEFFICIENCY package for the three-door A 160 CDIwith manual transmission, which further improves engine efficiency, aerodynamics, rolling resistance, energy management and weight. Taken together, these measures add up to a fuel saving of 0.4 litres so that the A 160 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY consumes just 4.5 litres per 100 kilometres on the NEDC cycle. CO2 emissions of the 60 kW/82 hp coupé are 119 grams per kilometre.”
