Mercedes Class A: network in the first sketch

Mercedes has published online the first official sketch that anticipates the shapes of the third generation of Class A. Founded in 2004 and refreshed with a slight facelift in 2009, the second edition of the Mercedes Class A, despite the modern and pleasant, after more than six years of production begins to feel the weight of time.

In fact it is more than a year that the House of the three-pointed star studies a new model that has the credentials to replace the current model, a goal is not easy, as the last competition of the premium compact car class you are doing ever more aggressive, just remember the recent introduction by the Audi brand's small but fine A1.

The future Mercedes A-Class will make a first appearance in the guise of a prototype at the Shanghai Motor Show 2011 (20-28 April), where the baby-Mercedes will test the public's interest, especially that of Asia, new point of reference for luxury car manufacturers. The only sketch show at our disposal a more dynamic design, sporty than the current generation, characterized by a cover adorned with numerous ribs which ends with the large Mercedes grille that incorporates the Star of the German mark that separates those who remember the original projectors some concept Mercedes.

The side view is sleek and sporty, especially on the high belt line which connects in harmony with the back, thanks to the tapered design of the third side window. Just the back resembles the shape of a coupe because of the rear window designed in a very tilted. Although the image depicts the three-door version, almost certainly on the small of Stuttgart will be given even more comfortable and versatile five-door layout.

The engine range is very wide and include many offers gasoline, diesel, hybrid and natural gas. Among the most popular engines we will definitely be the 2.0-liter common-rail turbo diesel available in at least three different steps of power that will vary from 120 hp to 165 hp. A first for this model will be introducing a sporty version signed by Atelier AMG and equipped by a new 2.0-liter engine with supercharging able to give well 325 hp.

For the moment, a compact car equipped with an engine so powerful it would not rivals in the market, but we know that competition is not going to sleep, as the Audi S1 \u200b\u200bis already in the pipeline.
