Safety and efficiency for Mercedes' new-generation A-Class

Though the B-Class takes the cake for the smallest Benz available on our shores, the A-Class model has been met with success over the pond in Europe. An economical and safe small car, the tiny tourer has undergone a redesign, and the new-generation model will be debuted at the Auto Mobil International (AMI) show in Leipzig. Notable are features like the ECO start and stop functions, which allow the high-volume A-150 and A-170 models to reduce their fuel consumption in stop and go traffic. An award-winning CDI version is also available with a manual transmission, boasting fuel usage as low as 4.5 L / 100km.
