Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine
Out goes the CLA and in comes the all-new A-Class sedan. Called the A-Class Limousine in India, the model will be Mercedes-Benz’s smallest four-door offering in our market. Also, with the A-Class and B-Class hatchbacks unlikely to return for a second generation in India anytime soon, the A-Class Limousine will also become the new entry point to the Three-Pointed Star over here.
The A-Class Limousine sports new-age Mercedes styling and is really attractive. It’s not quite as swoopy as the CLA but the Limousine’s higher roofline does come with the benefit of more headroom at the back. There’s more legroom too and in all what you get is a comfier rear seat experience. Up front, the A-Class Limousine features Mercedes’ latest MBUX infotainment system, integrated into a very well-built, stylish and high-tech cabin.
Standard front-wheel drive models will likely include the A 200, which is powered by a 163hp 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine, and the A 200d, which is powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel. Both of these will likely be mated to dual-clutch automatic gearboxes. Buyers looking for more performance will also have the option of the AMG A35 that’s powered by a 306hp, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine and gets all-wheel drive.
With the entry-level luxury segments being a critical entry point to a brand, it was crucial for Mercedes-Benz to get the A-Class sedan just right. It’s got an aggressive look, a more spacious cabin, loads of tech and should be pretty good to drive too. Pricing will be critical in order to make for an attractive entry point, while also staying clear of the C-Class sedan. We expect the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine to be priced around the Rs 32-40 lakh (ex-showroom) range for the standard models. When launched, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine will rival the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe and Audi A3.
