For the first time, the A-Class is able to drive semi-autonomously in certain situations. To do this, it keeps a close eye on the traffic situation - improved camera and radar systems allow it to see up to 500m ahead. The A-Class also uses map and navigation data for assistance functions.
Three engine variants will be available on the launch of the A-Class, or shortly afterwards.

All the new A-Class models are powered by new, efficient engines. Two new four-cylinder petrol engines are available at market launch - a 1.4-litre M 282 putting out 161bhp, as well as a 2.0-litre putting out 221bhp and 350Nm.
On request, the new A-Class is available with the permanent all-wheel drive system 4MATIC with fully-variable torque distribution.
