Inovev predicts production of 250,000 units per year of the new Mercedes A-Class
- Mercedes has unveiled the fourth generation of its C-segment sedan, the A-Class, which succeeds the generations of 1997, 2004 and 2012. The new generation takes up the concept of the sports sedan marketed from 2012 and not that of the compact minivan marketed from 1997 to 2012. This model thus rivals directly the BMW1 Series and Audi A3 which will be renewed next year.
- The 2018 Mercedes A class replaces a model that was not in decline since the previous one sold 250,000 in 2017 against 200,000 units in 2015. The new model is expected to sell 250,000 per year, given the European market which should stabilize at that level.
- The new Mercedes A-Class is based on the MFA2 platform (which is an evolution of the MFA used on the current Class A) and its engines will be as follows: a 1330cc 4-cylinder gasoline engine developing 163hp (designed in partnership with Renault and called M282 at Mercedes), a 2000cc 4-cylinder gasoline engine developing 224hp called M260 at Mercedes, a 4-cylinder 1500cc diesel engine developing 116hp (original Renault engine) called OM608 at Mercedes.
- The new Mercedes A-Class will be produced in the German factory in Rastatt. It will soon be supported by new generations of Class B and CLA. A GLB SUV should finally complete the range of compact Mercedes.
