Priced in Germany from €23,978.50 (about US$30,100, including 19 percent VAT/Tax), the A-Class is available at launch with three diesel engines ranging in output from 107hp (109PS) to 134hp (136PS), and three four-cylinder petrol units producing from 121hp (122PS) to 208hp (211PS). Besides the five-door model seen here, Mercedes-Benz also plans to launch three-door variant of the A-Class and a sporty four-door saloon under the CLA moniker.


It measures 4,292mm long, 1,780mm wide and 1,433mm tall, which makes it 32mm shorter but 15mm wider and 12mm taller than its main rival, the BMW 1-Series hatchback.

The petrol lineup includes three four-cylinder options: the A180 with a 1.6-liter turbocharged unit producing 121hp (122PS), the A200 that uses a 154hp (156PS) version of the 1.6-liter unit and the A250 powered by a 2.0-liter turbo delivering 208hp (211PS). The new five-door Mercedes-Benz A-Class will reach European dealership in September.
