We have seen the upcoming A-Class hatchback on test on a number of occasions; however, spotting the sedan version has been rather rare. The latter will be based on the A hatchback and will be priced below the CLA-Class.
These pictures show a typical sedan silhouette unlike the CLA that sports a swooping roofline. The result? A higher roofline that translates into more headroom for the rear occupants. Despite the test mule being camouflaged, one can spot its similarity to the Concept A Sedan that was previewed at the Auto Shanghai. As can be noticed from the shot, while the nose of the car will resemble the new A-Class hatchback, the true differences lie beyond the B-pillars. Also, since the tail lamps are partially visible, it gives us a glimpse of how they will look on the finished product.
There is further speculation that Mercedes may be revising the interiors of its entire range of compact vehicles, which is why Concept A sedan’s interiors weren’t revealed back in China. Proof of this can be seen from reports where the interiors of the new A-Class prototype were spied with a dual digital screen setup.
We expect the new A-Class sedan to hit the showrooms within the next couple of years. It could even be sold here in India as Mercedes’ entry-level sedan.
