The A-Class.

This Brochure is prepared by Daimler AG and it predominantly reflects the capabilities and performance of vehicles sold in Europe.
Some characteristics, capabilities, performance features and optional extras (e.g. towing systems) may not be available or may not apply in Australia
under Australian conditions. The information in this Brochure is therefore indicative, illustrative and provided only for guidance and should not be relied

The pulse of a new generation.
The A-Class.
It is an unbridled attack: on your eyes, on your heart, on that which you normally expect
from Mercedes-Benz. The A-Class is the car for a new era and a new generation. A car that
wants it all – a design that is the spitting image of the future? Here it is. Unadulterated
agility and efficient with it? Of course. Comfort and technology in a breathtaking symbiosis?
Climb on in and experience it for yourself. Equipment and appointments options which
are geared to your personality and not vice versa? Just let yourself be guided by your style.
And when you are then finally sitting in it and drive the first of many, many exciting metres,
you will feel it in the new A-Class – the pulse of a new generation.

*And you won’t believe your eyes:
What a Mercedes!
Either for or against, complacency is not an option. Non-conformist from the outside
and quite the style icon inside. It expels boredom from the street. And gives you an
easy ride in the process. High-tech: it goes without saying. Safe: no question. Efficient:
naturally. It could not be a more characteristic Mercedes. And at the same time very,
very different. Hello, A-Class!

An expression of pulsating life: defined edges alongside tautly tensioned surfaces:

The A-Class is a true endurance athlete. The economical consumption as low as 3.6 litres
per 100 kilometres takes you further than you think. Thanks to efficient engines with direct
injection and turbocharging. And the standard-specification ECO start/stop function which
also helps to put the brakes on consumption at red traffic lights. The very essence of
BlueEFFICIENCY.

Standard equipment for the A-Class includes the radar-based COLLISION PREVENTION

more safety is available optionally: the DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise control and
the PRE-SAFE® system. Technologies which can keep danger at bay.

The A-Class: a body that is so streamlined that the air runs out of breath. The result:

both transmissions for the A-Class are optimally matched to the engine. They set benchmarks where shift comfort, efficiency and weight optimisation are concerned.

Sports models A 250 Sport and A 250 Sport 4MATIC – engineered by AMG.
The sports models impress with their expressive design and promise added dynamism thanks to AMG sports suspension that has been developed in-house and
features a specific front axle.

For special driving dynamics the A-Class is available as

the sports model A 250 Sport and as the A 250 Sport
4MATIC all-wheel-drive variant. Both models have AMG
sports suspension – featuring a specific front axle and
sporty engine and transmission tuning – developed by the
specialists at Mercedes-AMG. The further equipment is
based on the AMG Line design and equipment line, sup-
plemented by other exterior and interior features. These
include the striking diamond radiator grille and the char-
acteristic red trim on the AMG front and rear apron plus
the red highlight rings in the headlamps. The athletic look
is enhanced by the 5-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels which
are painted black with a high-sheen finish and shod with
235/40 R 18 tyres. The perforated brake discs at the
front, the red brake callipers at the front and rear plus the
sporty engine sound lend the sports models an air of
pure dynamism. The two-pipe exhaust system with oval
tailpipe trim in polished stainless steel and the “SPORT”
badges on the front wings complete the look.

An exceptional character and powerful dynamics, combined in the A 250 Sport.

 Model variants 43

The sports models impress with characteristic features in

the interior, too. This is due in the main to the sports seats
with upholstery in ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA
microfibre with red contrasting topstitching plus the match-
ing red 3-point seat belts. AMG performance seats are
optionally available. Further hallmark highlights in the sports
models include the red rings on the air outlets and in the
red needles on the sporty instrument cluster. The 3-spoke
multifunction steering wheel is finished in leather and has
red contrasting topstitching, as do the armrests in the cen-
tre console and the doors. The door centre panels are
trimmed in black DINAMICA microfibre, and the trim sports
a carbon fibre look. The dynamic impression is accentu-
ated by the sports pedals in brushed stainless steel with
rubber studs and front door sill panels in aluminium. In
addition to this, cord floor mats with black piping, red con-
trasting topstitching and “SPORT” lettering are also part
of the sports models’ host of equipment.

A 45 AMG 4MATIC interior.

An athlete through and through on the inside, too: the interior of the A 45 AMG 4MATIC is more of a cockpit than a driver’s compartment. This is thanks to the sports
seats with their red topstitching plus red belts – but also the AMG-specific design of the instrument cluster.

Enter the world of motorsport in fitting style – through the

driver’s door. AMG door sill panels announce the sporty
nature of the interior. The AMG DRIVE UNIT offers direct
access to the transmission modes. Thanks to the AMG
instrument cluster with its AMG main menu, including
Racetimer and the AMG start-up indicator, you always
have a good view of everything – and with the 3-spoke
sports steering wheel with the flattened bottom section
and shift paddles you have a good grip on everything, too.
Sports seats in ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA

even when taking sharp bends. Red seat belts and rings

450 Nm of torque are delivered precisely where needed in
the A 45 AMG: to the road. This happens courtesy of a
fully variable, performance-oriented all-wheel-drive system,
which – with its AMG-specific electrohydraulic control –
ensures optimum traction and thus transforms the unfet-

In the AMG Performance Studio your A 45 AMG is given

more tautly with a performance suspension, give it an even
more dominant appearance with the AMG Exterior Carbon-

the vehicle sound even more powerful with the AMG
performance exhaust system, including specific tailpipe
trim. You can fit a number of other eye-catching fea-
tures in the form of brake callipers painted red and two
exclusive light-alloy wheel designs. On request you can
increase the top speed to 270 km/h with the Driver’s Pack-

too: the AMG performance seats, for instance, with in-

Practical, versatile, progressive – there’s not much the A-Class can’t do. And there are always the genuine accessories from Mercedes-Benz.
→ www.mercedes-benz-accessories.com

As if the A-Class didn’t already make you mobile enough,

the rear-mounted cycle rack gives you even more freedom
as it can be used to carry two or three bikes with ease,
even if the bikes themselves are quite heavy: each cycle
rail has a payload of 30 kg, so most e-bikes can be trans-
ported with no problem at all. There is no problem opening
the boot either: access to luggage is still possible thanks
to an ingenious roller mechanism. When not in use, the rack
folds easily and can be stowed in the boot, for example.

Folding rear-mounted cycle rack for trailer couplings.

A further practical feature is the 400 roof box. It has an

impressive capacity of around 400 litres, can take loads
of up to 75 kg and has handles on both sides for easier
handling. To make optimum use of the stowage space in
the roof box, items such as a suitably sized three-bag
luggage set or a ski bag for a maximum of two pairs of
skis can be ordered.

And we can top this for the more sporty drivers in the form
of a dynamic roof spoiler and a rear apron trim with a
diffuser look. This also lends the A-Class a racy touch in
visual terms.
