This is not the new Mercedes CLA. There will be one, but this isn"t it. It"s actually the new Mercedes A-Class Sedan". And it"s coming to Britain, where no doubt they"ll call it a Saloon". Back in April Mercedes unveiled a long-wheelbase A-Class Sedan at the Beijing Motor Show. Because if there"s one thing China likes in a car, it"s rear-legroom. But the rest of the world isn"t bothered, so before putting it on sale elsewhere, Mercedes trimmed 60mm from the wheelbase. Engines, tech and, well, everything fore of the B-Pillar is pure A-Class Hatch. From launch it"ll be available with either the 1.3-litre A200" petrol engine (with 161bhp and 184lb ft) or 1.5-litre A180d" four-cylinder diesel (with 114bhp and 192lb ft). Both get a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox and front-wheel drive.
