After getting great reviews in China at the Shanghai Motor Show and it's Premiere in New York, The A-Class Concept is headed for production. There is confirmation that this 3-door sedan will be sold in the U.S.
Mechanically this vehicle is perfectly feasible for production, with a 2.0 liter 210-hp four cylinder engine. It would not be to far fetched to also see a turbo charged to join the lineup in the future. The A-Class will use a duel clutch automatic gearbox, while presumably first arrive as a front wheel drive vehicle and potentially be released as a 4-matic vehicle.
We speculate the base sticker price to start below that of the C-class, which is just under $35,000.00. When this A-class finally arrives in the U.S. expect it to have some differences from the vehicle that was revealed in china. The car will ride on smaller wheels, and that elaborate pinwork grille might not be there. Even with the slight alterations there is no doubt that this A-class will be a beautiful vehicle
Rumor has it that the development team over at AMG has already started working on a 350 horsepower version of the Mercedes-Benz A-class. I guess we will just have to wait and see.....
