A compact car on the outside, yet a family car with the spaciousness of a minivan under the surface, the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class disproves the theory that these apparently conflicting characteristics can be combined into a single vehicle. With an exterior length of 3838 millimetres and a width of 1764 millimetres, the new model may exceed the dimensions of its predecessor, but the A-Class is still more compact and manoeuvrable than its competitors and still allows a clearer view. Indeed, it takes up only 6.7 square meters of space on the road – that’s ten per cent less than other compact cars.
By the same token, the Mercedes-Benz offers significantly more interior space, com-fort and functionality than other models in its class. In this respect, two features of the A-Class play a particularly important role:
-
The patented sandwich concept allows the engine and transmission to be arranged partly in front of the passenger compartment and partly below, and other components – such as the battery, activated charcoal filter (for the petrol models), fuses, electronic control units and fuel tank – to be positioned under the passenger compartment, thus saving even more space. This construction con-concept leaves 67 per cent of the body length free for the occupants and their lug-luggage, a peerless achievement of space management.
-
An intelligent dimensional concept ensures exceptional spaciousness and more freedom of movement for the vehicle occupants. The new A-Class out-performs both its predecessor model and its rivals in terms of all comfort-related interior dimensions, i.e. shoulder room, hip room, elbow room, space between the seats and head room. In addition, the load capacity of the luggage area is also above the normal level for this vehicle class.
