The engineers admit that this A-Class is entirely new, not just a new platform, but also a new engine line-up, too. They"re downsized, come in 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0-litre capacities, and feature turbocharging across the range. There"ll be diesels, despite the current backlash, while EQ Boost (essentially an integrated starter generator) will feature on many models. Mercedes-Benz"s staff are keeping quiet about proper plug-in hybrid versions currently, but it"s inconceivable that the A-Class won"t be offered with an extension lead in time, if not directly from its launch later this year. Incidentally, we"ll see it without the swirly wrap at the Geneva Motor Show, in March.
