Mercedes-Benz revamps “A Class” and “A Class Sedan” with sporty exterior design and functional equipment – ​​Car Watch

New sporty exterior design

The front has a power dome on the bonnet, and the proportions have been changed to give it a sense of speed. While emphasizing sharpness with a forward-tilted front end reminiscent of a shark’s pointed nose, the AMG Line features a single-louver-type “star-patterned front grille” studded with countless small three-pointed stars with a matte chrome finish. ” was adopted (standard specification is black finish).

The star pattern front grill is adopted for the AMG line

In addition, the AMG line uses a trapezoidal shape that spreads out at the bottom and large-diameter air intakes on both sides of the trapezoidal shape to create a more aggressive and powerful design for the front bumper. bottom.

Headlights that give a sharp impression

Horizontal tone tail lamp

The rear adopts a newly designed rear diffuser that produces a sporty and stable rear view. In addition, the design of the LED rear combination lamps has a horizontal tone, giving a sharper impression. In addition, the standard specification has 17-inch 5-twin-spoke aluminum wheels, and the AMG line has 18-inch 5-twin-spoke aluminum wheels. A new color “Rose Gold” has been added to the body color.

A new color “Rose Gold” has been added to the body color.

1.4-liter gasoline turbo and 2.0-liter diesel turbo set

The in-line 4-cylinder 1.4-liter direct-injection gasoline turbo engine “M282” installed in the A 180 generates a maximum output of 100kW (136PS) / 5500rpm and a maximum torque of 200Nm / 1460-4000rpm. Adopting a “delta-shaped cylinder head”, compared to a normal cylinder head, it is taller when installed, but the width and weight are smaller, realizing weight reduction and space saving. In addition, a Helmholtz resonator is used in the intake duct, a sound-insulating seal is applied to the catalytic converter, and the cover also has a role to reduce noise.

The in-line 4-cylinder 2.0-liter direct-injection diesel turbo engine “OM654q” installed in the A 200 d has a maximum output of 110 kW (150 PS) / 3400-4400 rpm, a maximum torque of 320 Nm / 1400-3200 rpm, and performance that powerfully accelerates a compact body. While having a low vibration and high quietness. With a cylinder pitch of 90mm and a thickness of 8mm between cylinders, the compact cylinder block is made of aluminum for weight reduction, while the pistons are made of steel with different coefficients of thermal expansion. Friction is reduced by more than 40% by using In addition, the “NANOSLIDE” friction reduction process, which thermally sprays steel carbon material on the cylinder wall, is also applied.

The turbocharger uses a variable turbine geometry to enable torqueful acceleration throughout the entire range from low to high revs, and the common rail direct injection system using piezo injectors raises the maximum pressure to 2050bar. It is equipped with a “multi-way exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)” that combines high-pressure EGR and low-pressure EGR to optimize combustion and reduce nitrogen oxides before aftertreatment.

A new-generation steering wheel that can be operated more intuitively

The interior uses a new-generation steering wheel, and if the optional AMG line package is selected, it becomes three twin-spokes, creating a more futuristic sportiness. Various settings in the navigation and instrument cluster and settings of the safe driving support system can also be changed.

In addition, the hands-off detection function when using the “Distance Assist Distronic”, which was conventionally determined by contact with the touch control button and the torque applied to the steering wheel, has been newly equipped with a capacitive sensor on the rim from this model. With the pad equipped with the steering wheel, even if there is no torque applied to the steering wheel, it recognizes that the driver is gripping the steering wheel, improving the usability of the distance assist DISTRONIC.

The latest generation interactive infotainment system “MBUX” is adopted. The voice control function can be activated by saying “Hi, Mercedes”, and the voice recognition function is used for many infotainment functions (destination input, phone calls, music selection, weather information), climate control, various heaters, lighting. It supports various functions such as In addition to voice recognition, various functions can be operated using the touch screen and touch control buttons on the steering wheel, which can be used according to the driver’s preferences and driving conditions.

In addition, Mercedes-Benz’s latest generation navigation system and MBUX AR (Augmented Reality) navigation for the first time in the C segment. Conventionally, when setting a destination and providing directions, the road to go on is highlighted on the map, but in the new model, in addition to that, the actual scenery that spreads out in front of the vehicle is displayed as part of the navigation screen. Arrows now appear on the road to follow.

Center console touchpad removed

Fabrics made from 100% recycled materials

The touchpad installed in the center console was abolished, and the interior design was changed to a clean one. If you select the optional AMG Leather Exclusive Package, you can choose genuine leather black that produces a chic and luxurious interior that has not been set as a material for the seats. The leather ARTICO/fabric seat center uses fabric made from 100% recycled materials.

A lot of equipment to enhance safety and comfort

Equipped with a number of safe driving support systems such as Active Distance Assist Distronic, Active Brake Assist, Traffic Sign Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Assist (with warning function when exiting the vehicle). In addition, it is equipped with driver assistance functions such as Drive Away Assist and Active Parking Assist Traffic Alert.

The A 200 d and A 200 d sedans also feature a lighting system that automatically adjusts the headlight range, switching between high and low beam depending on traffic conditions, ensuring maximum visibility in all conditions at all times. Adaptive High Beam Assist is standard equipment. In addition, the sound equipment is equipped with a total of 10 speakers and an advanced sound system with 225W output as standard, so you can enjoy a pleasant sound (optional for the A 180 and A 180 sedan).
