Mercedes A-Class Sedan To Debut At Beijing Show

According to reports, Mercedes-Benz will introduce the new generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan at the upcoming Beijing Motor Show on April 25. To be slotted below the CLA, the new generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class will take design cues from the 2018 A-Class hatchback that made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The engine options will also be sourced from its hatchback sibling, so we don't expect too many changes in the sedan version. Will it come to India? Well, for that, we'll have to wait a little while longer, as the Stuttgart-based carmakers will introduce the new sedan first in China and then in Europe before it decides on India.

Spotted testing last month, the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan is clearly inspired from the A-Class hatchback, while the silhouette of the car looks like a small version of the CLS sedan coupe. In terms of design, up front, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan will get a black mesh grille horizontally divided by a single slat along with the three-pointed star logo at the centre. According to the spy shots, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan will get a redesigned front bumper with wide central air dam and large air intakes. The multi-spoke alloy wheel just adds to the stylish appearance. At the back, the A-Class sedan will get a pair of LED tail lamps and most likely a larger boot as well. Moreover, the A-Class sedan is also said to get the all new Mercedes-Benz user interface 'MBUX', which brings in a whole new voice command and navigation system along with features like wireless phone charging.
