2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Spotted Testing
Highlights
- The next-gen Mercedes-Benz A-Class is likely to be launched in 2018
- The car will receive a number of cosmetic updates and design changes
- Mechanically the car is likely to remain unchanged
Codenamed W177, the fourth generation of the A-Class has been extensively re-engineered. The current generation of the car is built on the MFA platform and the next-gen too will be built on the same albeit with a number of revisions which will see the use of aluminium in the floorpan which is basically to help in reducing the weight of the car and improve structural rigidity.
On the engine front, we expect a few changes too as internationally, the A-Class might com with a 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre petrol engine, while the diesel will be a 1.5 or 2.0-litre. We'll see the 2.0-litre version of both the petrol and diesel but we'll see the aluminium block OM654 unit recently unveiled in the E-Class, in the latter, which will be a refreshing change. Transmission duties will be handled by a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission (which will replace the current 7-speed unit), but we do hope that the six-speed manual comes our way.
The cabin too will receive some upgradations as we'll see the 2018 A-Class equipped with the latest Command Infotainment system, Apple Car Play and Android Auto compatibility, as well as new services from Mercedes Me. Mercedes-Benz will continue to use the top to down approach and we'll see the new-gen A-Class borrow a bunch of equipment from the new E-Class as it shares the same electronic platform.
