Greatness in a compact form:
the A-Class
If carbon is compressed, the result is a valuable diamond. If the Mercedes-Benz
philosophy is compressed, the result is a car like the A-Class, whose intrinsic
value lies in its unique vehicle concept. Compact on the outside, the A-Class
displays all the major attributes of a Mercedes-Benz: efficient use of space, high
levels of safety, unrivalled variability and quality right down to the last detail.
Experience everything that makes a Mercedes-Benz special – experience the
A-Class.

Exterior design
Reliability par excellence
Precision-engineered quality
The art of engineering reaches its pinnacle when the gap
between rationality and seduction is bridged. When outstanding practicality goes hand in hand with aesthetic
pleasure. The one-box concept that forms the basis of the
A-Class, including a raised seat position and a large, versatile
interior as well as compact exterior dimensions, sets the
standard in this segment.
The dynamic design gives the A-Class a longer and wider
presence. The powerful overall impression is further reinforced by the distinctive bumpers and the large exterior
mirrors painted in the vehicle colour. A radiator grille with
a pronounced V-shape and the sweeping form of the dropshaped clear-glass headlamps add to the sporty aura and
send out a clear message: the A-Class is ready. Are you?

Extremely easy on the eye
The exclusive design of the A-Class
A strong silhouette: from the sharply rising front section
and the dynamic curve of the roof to the steep angle of the
tailgate – the A-Class boasts a striking and unmistakable
profile. The short aerial and the exterior mirrors and door
handles painted in the vehicle colour are designed for
maximum appeal. Viewed from any angle, the interplay
between the softly undulating surfaces and sharp edges
stirs the emotions.
When viewed from the rear, too, the A-Class displays all
that is good about sophisticated automotive design. Thanks
to the flat tail lights and distinctive bumper, the car adopts
a wide, confident stance on the road, poised to spring into
action at any moment. Indulge yourself in sheer driving
pleasure. All you have to do is turn the key.

When it comes to what you want, you know best. That’s
why the A-Class always gives you the final say. So you
always get what you want. Regardless of which line you
choose, an extensive range of standard equipment – including air conditioning, power windows and a multifunction
steering wheel – is always on board.
Whether it be the comfort-oriented standard version, the

An investment in your
future. And everybody else’s
The A-Class: everything a car of today should be
The A-Class succeeds in reconciling attributes that, on the
face of it, seem to contradict each other. Despite the compact
exterior dimensions, the interior is very spacious, while
the safety and comfort levels set new standards in the compact class. Those who drive it not only demonstrate a highly
discerning nature when it comes to choosing a car. They
also display environmental awareness. That’s because the
A-Class is made from recyclable materials such as steel,
light alloy and plastic, while the seats contain renewable
raw materials like coconut fibres. Numerous measures have
been implemented to drastically reduce emissions during
production. State-of-the-art, fuel-saving engines with lower
CO2 emissions and the standard-fit ECO start/stop function
for the A 160 BlueEFFICIENCY and A 180 BlueEFFICIENCY
models also play a key role in protecting the environment.
All A-Class models have received the TÜV SÜD1
Environmental Certificate.

BlueEFFICIENCY – fast forward to tomorrow
We are quicker at getting environmentally
friendly future technologies to where it matters
most: on the road. As the inventor of the motor
car, Mercedes-Benz has a special responsibility –
one we have undertaken with all our might for
many years. By the end of 2011, we will be able
to offer you 128 models with BlueEFFICIENCY
technologies, all of which help you reduce your
impact on the environment – without compromising on safety, comfort and driving enjoyment.
Our BlueEFFICIENCY concept comprises innovations for efficient mobility as well as optimised
processes all the way along the value chain.
They involve different approaches, but they all
have a common goal: to make your individual
mobility as sustainable as possible.
The BlueEFFICIENCY measures – the
Mercedes-Benz efficiency package. This package
consists of comprehensive vehicle optimisations
designed to save fuel and ease the burden on
the environment. Each model combines the most
efficient engine with latest-generation aerodynamic and energy-management measures to
minimise fuel consumption. Such measures
include intelligently controlled ancillaries, tyres
with optimised rolling resistance, lightweight
components and the ECO start/stop function,
which is being made available for an increasing
number of models. The new BlueDIRECT V6
and V8 petrol engines, which feature in several
model series, deliver a much higher power output
while reducing fuel consumption by up to 24%.
BlueTEC – the clean diesel. Mercedes-Benz has
brought to market BlueTEC technology for diesel
engines based on common-rail direct injection
(CDI). A modular emission-control system makes
BlueTEC an exceptionally clean diesel technology,
as not only does it remove up to 95% of the particulate matter from the exhaust gases, it also reduces
nitrogen oxides by up to 90%. What remains is
mainly water, nitrogen and the satisfying feeling
of having helped to ease the burden on the
environment.
HYBRID – petrol and electric drives intelligently
combined. A well-established team makes a lot of
things easier – as shown by HYBRID technology.
Here the electric motor is used for the recuperation
of kinetic energy. This energy is stored in the
battery and returned to the electric drive when
needed, which assists the petrol engine when
the car is accelerating. What’s more, the ECU shuts
off the petrol engine when the speed is below
15 km/h. In this way, a HYBRID can reduce fuel
consumption by up to 20%. So it looks after the
environment as well as your bank balance. Perfect
teamwork, you might say.
The BlueEFFICIENCY measures bring about a substantial reduction
in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
Agility | BlueEFFICIENCY
BlueTEC HYBRID – clean diesel combined with
electric drive. It marries the benefits of the
HYBRID with those of BlueTEC: during braking,
the kinetic energy is converted into electrical
energy, which can be re-used when required. At
the same time, the BlueTEC technology cleans
exhaust gases and removes many of the pollutants.
All of which makes the economical diesel powerplant even more efficient, agile and clean.
Innovative drive systems that break new ground:
E-CELL and F-CELL. Mercedes-Benz has developed
two locally emission-free drive systems known
as the E-CELL and F-CELL. The B-Class F-CELL
is already being produced on a small scale and
has been displaying its everyday practicality on
Germany’s roads since mid-2010. It uses hydrogen to produce power for the electric motor in a
fuel cell. The first vehicles from a small series of
the A-Class E-CELL – which features an electric
motor that draws its energy from two lithium-ion
batteries, giving it an average range of more
than 200 km – began rolling off the production
line at the end of 2010. An E-CELL PLUS is also
scheduled for release, which will include a small
internal combustion engine combined with a
generator to increase the range of the electric
vehicle.
But that is not all: under the banner “Design for
Environment”, we also look at a vehicle’s entire
lifecycle and work hard to preserve the environment from the planning stage right through to
recycling. The same applies to the building and
running of new plants. In addition, we are heavily
involved in the development of alternative fuels
and carry out research in the field of bionics. In
short, BlueEFFICIENCY is good news for both you
and the environment.

measures can be found at:

Cut fuel consumption, keep the power
The A-Class BlueEFFICIENCY
Mercedes-Benz has developed the A-Class A 160
BlueEFFICIENCY, A 160 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY and A 180
BlueEFFICIENCY models to minimise energy consumption. This is precisely what BlueEFFICIENCY stands for.
This concept comprises numerous vehicle-optimisation
measures such as tyres with low rolling resistance, intelligent alternator management and an energy-efficient
steering system. These measures help to reduce fuel
consumption in the A 160 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY with
manual transmission down to 4.5 litres per 100 kilometres
(CO2 emissions: 118–125 g/km). As does another key component of the BlueEFFICIENCY system: the ECO start/stop
function for petrol engines allows you to save fuel when
the car stops at traffic lights or is stuck in traffic, further
easing the burden on the environment. This function
detects when the engine is not needed and switches it off
automatically. The engine starts again – so quickly and
quietly that you hardly notice it – as soon as the clutch is
depressed fully.
Numerous efficiency-enhancing
measures in the BlueEFFICIENCY
The A-Class E-CELL allows locally emission-free driving: it
is the first Mercedes-Benz battery-electric vehicle to enter
small series production.

Agility | Petrol engines
Our engineers have invested a lot of energy. So you need less fuel
High on agility, low on consumption: the petrol engines
All of the A-Class engines have been attuned
to the compact vehicle form. Not least in the
A 200, with its peak torque of 185 Nm at 3500
to 4000 rpm. When the accelerator is pressed,
this engine develops a hefty 100 kW.
The A 180 is similarly impressive, drawing on
its output of 85 kW and 155 Nm at 3500 to
4000 rpm to make highly agile progress. The A 160
BlueEFFICIENCY and the A 180 BlueEFFICIENCY
likewise help to keep consumption figures down
thanks to low friction losses in the engine, a
high compression ratio and numerous vehicleoptimisation measures.

Agility | Diesel engines
With power comes responsibility
More agile and kinder to the environment: the diesel engines
Preserving the environment is one of our top priorities.
This is why our engineers work tirelessly to further improve
our already efficient diesel engines – to keep on reducing
fuel consumption in order to help preserve the environment.
There are several A-Class diesel models to choose from: the
A 160 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY developing 60 kW, the A 180
CDI developing 80 kW and the A 200 CDI developing 103 kW.
A particulate filter which reduces particulate emissions by
up to 95% is standard for all the diesel engines.
The A 160 CDI with the AUTOTRONIC continuously variable automatic transmission impresses with excellent figures not only for fuel consumption but also for exhaust
and noise emissions. This model’s fuel consumption of 5.4
to 5.8 litres per 100 kilometres represents a CO2 level of
142 to 154 g/km – an outstandingly low figure for a vehicle
with an automatic transmission. A-Class models with manual
transmissions are especially fuel-efficient, with the A 200 CDI
using only a very thrifty 5.1 to 5.3 litres combined per
100 kilometres, yet still developing 103 kW and a powerful
300 Nm of torque.

Sophisticated transmission technology for faster gear changes
As a driver, do you prefer sporty performance or
relaxed cruising? Or is it a case of sometimes
one, sometimes the other? Whichever driving
style you prefer, the A-Class offers smooth and
easy gear changes. Standard equipment for the
A 160 BlueEFFICIENCY, A 180 BlueEFFICIENCY,
A 200 and A 160 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY models
includes a 5-speed transmission that has been
specially optimised for the engines, while the
6-speed manual transmission fitted as standard
in the A 180 CDI and A 200 CDI models ensures
agile driving pleasure in every rpm range. For
even easier shifts, the AUTOTRONIC continuously
variable transmission, available as an optional
extra, recognises your personal driving style and
adjusts the engine speed accordingly. Thanks to
the infinitely variable transmission ratio, you
accelerate without any interruption in tractive
power, meaning that the engine can send its
power to the front wheels continuously and,
therefore, operate in the optimum range at all
times. Things get decidedly sporty when manual
mode is selected, since you can then change
between seven virtual gears by simply nudging
the selector lever.

Many believe in guardian angels.
We believe in sophisticated safety technology
Active safety technology
Our aim is to make sure that you arrive at your
destination safe and sound. This is why our engineers work tirelessly to make the A-Class even
safer than it already is. Despite its compact exterior dimensions, it is packed with the latest
safety technology from Mercedes-Benz. Numerous active safety systems – for example, the
Electronic Stability Program ESP® and acceleration skid control ASR – help you to remain in
better control right from the start in dangerous
driving situations. If you brake quickly but not
heavily enough in an emergency, Brake Assist
(BAS) helps to build up the maximum braking
pressure. Yet even when the full braking power
is applied, the wheels do not lock up, since the
familiar anti-lock braking system (ABS) meters
the braking power precisely, meaning that the
car remains steerable. Plus the A-Class features
adaptive brake lights as standard: in the event
of an emergency stop when travelling at over
50 km/h, the brake lamps start flashing several
times a second so as to warn any vehicles behind,
thus potentially shortening their stopping
distance decisively. If the A-Class is braked to
a halt from a speed of 70 km/h or more, the
hazard warning lights are switched on automatically, giving you an extra level of protection.

Superb protection you can count on.
From the moment you take your seat in the A-Class
Passive safety technology
Even in an emergency, you can count on the
A-Class, of course. Its high level of safety is partly
down to its form: in the event of a frontal impact,
the engine and transmission slide along the
inclined pedal floor and under the passenger
compartment. This intelligent form of crumple
zone can reduce the risk of occupant injury substantially.
If there is a rear impact, the front head restraints
are activated and can help prevent whiplash
injuries. Here the distance between the occupant’s
head and the head restraint is shortened in order
to reduce whiplash of the head. Further standard
equipment includes crash-responsive emergency
lighting: when pyrotechnic restraint systems
(e.g. airbags or belt tensioners) are deployed in
the event of an accident, the interior lighting is
activated if the interior lighting system is set to
automatic. If the optional Light and Sight package
is fitted, the footwell lighting is also switched
on to assist you in finding your way around more
easily in an emergency.

We wish you a pleasant stay
Interior design
Regardless of where you sit, you’re sure to find your favourite seat as the A-Class provides plenty of room to relax for
all those on board. The large windows all round allow light
to flood into the interior, while the optionally available
panoramic louvred sliding sunroof opens up the view of
the sky above. A wealth of comfort and convenience features
combine to help ensure that you arrive at your destination
feeling relaxed, even after a long drive. Standard equipment
includes air conditioning and an on-board computer as well
as a multifunction steering wheel and Hill-Start Assist. The
four clearly arranged dial-type instruments in the highquality cockpit are ideally positioned within the driver’s
field of vision. Ergonomically designed seats help relieve
the strain on the spinal column and prevent drowsiness. In
addition to all of this, the high-grade materials used in the
A-Class provide a level of comfort that one would expect of
a Mercedes-Benz.

Plans change. But we’ve even planned for this
Room for ideas: EASY-VARIO system and EASY-VARIO-PLUS system
Variability is a constant in the A-Class. Should you require
a completely flat load space with no boot sill to get in the way,
the standard-fit EASY-VARIO system allows you to simply
raise the cushions of the rear seats, fold the backrests forwards and move the height-adjustable load compartment
floor into its higher position. The 1 : 2 split-folding rear seats
are standard, so you can fold down the right-hand section
of the rear-seat unit and still carry a rear passenger on the
left, for example. If you need more space, the optional
EASY-VARIO-PLUS system lets you remove the rear
seats and front passenger seat entirely, giving you up to
1995 litres of load capacity. And even if you don’t use any
of the numerous conversion or removal options, there is
still enough room for five people, four suitcases, a sports
bag and a beauty case.

Standard equipment for the A-Class
The A-Class offers you that all-important extra degree of comfort and refinement
as standard. The bumpers and the housings for the larger exterior mirrors
painted in the vehicle colour enhance both style and sophistication, as do the door
handles, which are likewise painted in the vehicle colour. At the front end,
the radiator louvres painted in dark grey and the attractive clear-glass reflectors
add further touches of refinement, while wheel trims featuring a 7-hole design
or optional 7-spoke light-alloy wheels round off the classic appearance perfectly.
Moving inside, the high-gloss black trim contrasts well with the seat upholstery,
which is available in a choice of Mechelen or Namur fabric. The power windows,
including one-touch up and down control for the front windows as standard,
can be fully opened or closed automatically at the brief press of a button. Plus
many of the functions can be controlled conveniently and easily from the multifunction steering wheel.

ELEGANCE
The ELEGANCE line displays its exclusivity with chrome trim strips all round,
chrome-surround fog lamps and a chrome-trimmed tailgate handle. The impressive front end features atlas grey radiator louvres with chrome edging, while
the rear end positively shines with a polished stainless-steel tailpipe trim. The
stylish appearance is completed by elegant 10-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels.
The exterior appearance corresponds harmoniously with the high-quality interior. The elegant myrtle wood trim highlights the exclusive standard of the line
as does the combination of Bastogne fabric and ARTICO man-made leather.
This is complemented to perfection by the high-quality leather trim on the steering wheel, handbrake lever and gearshift lever. There is also a highly useful
addition in the form of the practical armrest with a stowage compartment between
the front seats, while the standard-fit Seat Comfort package comprises height
adjustment for the front passenger seat as well as seat cushion adjustment and
lumbar support for both front seats.

AVANTGARDE
The AVANTGARDE line is proud to display its sporty credentials and is clearly
distinguishable by the more pronounced V-shape of the bumper fascia and the
iridium silver radiator louvres. Bumpers painted in the vehicle colour are the
perfect complement to the chrome trim all around the body, which provides a
stylish finishing touch. The front fog lamps also blend in harmoniously with
the overall design. At the rear end, the oval exhaust tailpipe with polished stainlesssteel trim draws the design to an impressive conclusion, while the light-alloy
wheels feature a powerful 5-spoke design to emphasise the dynamism of the
AVANTGARDE line.
Inside, the diagonally brushed, smoke silver-coloured aluminium trim creates
a sporty atmosphere. This is complemented by the combination of Bastogne
fabric and ARTICO man-made leather upholstery and by high-grade leather on
the steering wheel, handbrake lever and gearshift lever. In the AVANTGARDE
line, you can enjoy the benefits of the standard-fit Seat Comfort package. The
additional height adjustment function for the front passenger seat together with
seat cushion adjustment and lumbar supports for both front seats help make
even long journeys seem agreeably short.

The Comfort package
Congratulations – if you’re looking for that extra-special
something, you’ve just found it: the Comfort package for
the ELEGANCE and AVANTGARDE lines, brimming with
first-class equipment features for truly comfort-oriented
driving. Once inside, you are welcomed by high-grade
leather upholstery plus heated front seats. Attributes that
will be appreciated on longer trips especially include the
electrical adjustment of the seat cushion height and angle as
well as the backrest angle and electrical fore/aft adjustment
of the front seats.

Sports gear for your A-Class
The Sports package
Sport is good for the appearance. And there is no better proof of this than the
optional Sports package for the A-Class. The instrument cluster with white dials
stands out impressively against the silver-coloured backplate and is complemented
by a shift or selector lever with leather and aluminium highlights. The sporty
look and feel also extend to the easy-grip sports steering wheel with leather trim
and the studded pedals in brushed stainless steel, not to mention the sports
seats upholstered in ARTICO man-made leather and Zandvoort fabric.
On the outside, the oval stainless-steel exhaust tailpipe, the powerful 7-spoke
light-alloy wheels and the radiator louvres in iridium silver metallic with chrome
trim are impressive additions. But as well as adding muscle on a visual level,
the Sports package also makes for more dynamic, agile cornering thanks to the
stiffer, lowered sports suspension.

It’s good to let go once in a while. But better if you don’t have to
Multifunction steering wheel and ISOFIX child seat attachment points
Your safety matters a great deal to us. This is
why we have developed a steering wheel that
enables you to keep your hands on the wheel.
All the important information and functions you
need when on the road are accessible using control buttons. The multifunction steering wheel,
fitted as standard, allows you to adjust the volume
of the optional audio equipment and operate
telephone functions, for example. Further controls let you call up information on the instrument
cluster or change settings. Through all of this,
your attention remains focused where it should
be – on the road.
To maximise child safety, the A-Class has ISOFIX
child seat attachment points fitted as standard
on the outer seats in the rear. This standardised
system makes it easier to fit child seats and
hence reduces the risk of incorrect installation.
Thanks to the rigid connection between the
child seat and the vehicle body, ISOFIX helps to
reduce the risk of injury in an accident. A further
benefit in terms of child safety is the fact that
the seat belt does not need to be tensioned first in the
event of an emergency stop or an impact. The
special design means that the seat decelerates
along with the vehicle, so no valuable time is lost.
ISOFIX child seat attachment points in the rear with Top Tether
provide a high level of protection for your child thanks to the rigid
connection between child seat and vehicle

The A-Class is a willing helper.
Especially when you need to park
Active Parking Assist. With integrated PARKTRONIC
It’s good to let someone else do the work. Like
when the Active Parking Assist system intervenes. It complements the proven PARKTRONIC
system since, as well as telling you how much
space there is behind or in front of the car, it has
ultrasonic sensors that detect whether your car
will fit into a parking space as you are driving past
it. As soon as you then engage reverse gear and
confirm your wish to park, all you need to do is
dab the accelerator and brake. The system turns
the steering wheel automatically, parking the
car parallel to the direction of travel in just a few
moves. Needless to say, you remain in control
throughout the entire process.
The distance sensors in the front and rear bumper monitor the

Audio and communication systems
One of the highlights in the A-Class is the
COMAND APS multimedia system. Its intuitive
control structure and functions make it easy to
operate the DVD player’s audio and video functions
or the hard-disc navigation system (APS). The
package includes three years of free map updates
(vehicle-specific, from day of first registration).
All the most important messages and information appear on the 16.5 cm colour display. Both
COMAND APS and Audio 50 APS feature a radio
and a DVD drive. The LINGUATRONIC1 voiceoperated control system offers useful functions
and exceptional ease of operation. The audio
systems include an integral CD player, MP3/WMA
function and an Aux-in socket in the glove compartment. And phoning is made easy courtesy of
the mobile phone pre-installation with a Bluetooth®
interface (available for Audio 20 CD upwards).
The audio systems can also be combined with
the optional Harman Kardon® Logic 7® surround
sound system. The twelve high-performance
loudspeakers are adapted to suit the special
characteristics of the car and deliver highly
impressive acoustic performance. Together
with a subwoofer and the 450-watt DSP
amplifier, they provide superb stereo and
Dolby 5.12 surround sound.

The panoramic louvred sliding sunroof and panoramic roof
A ray of sunlight travels around 100 million
miles before reaching our planet. So it deserves
a fitting welcome. Luckily the optional panoramic louvred sunroof for the A-Class is on
hand. A touch of a button is all it takes to bring
heaven a little closer and make you forget about
the everyday routine. Firstly, the foremost louvre
of the panoramic louvred sunroof rotates into the
ventilation position. Then the roof opens as
much as you want it to – which is much further
than most conventional sunroofs. But even when
closed, the scratch-resistant, transparent surface allows light to flood into the interior. Plus,
if you have had enough light for one day, the
manually operated twin roller blind system
comes into play. It protects you from the sun
when closed and acts as a wind deflector when
open. A panoramic roof is also available as an
optional extra.

Genuine accessories
What goes best with a Mercedes-Benz?
Genuine accessories
Even though the A-Class vehicle concept is complete, the wide range of accessories available
from Mercedes-Benz gives you plenty of ideas
for tailoring the A-Class to your precise needs.
Such as the Mercedes-Benz 330 and 450 roof
boxes, which can be easily loaded and unloaded
from both sides and complemented with an
optional made-to-measure luggage set or a ski rack
attachment. The lockable tailgate-mounted rack1
for one or two bicycles, developed specifically for
the A-Class, is likewise practical and easy to use.
The Convenience Telephony package allows you
to use your mobile phone with the hands-free
system in the A-Class. Suitable cradles are available for numerous mobile phone models (Nokia,
Sony Ericsson, Apple and BlackBerry) and can
be exchanged in one, simple move. So it’s easily
possible to alternate between several mobile
phones. Operate the telephone using the buttons
on the multifunction steering wheel and view
telephone status and call information on the
central multifunction display – everything
works just the way you’re used to. Details of
further useful accessories can be found in the
separately available accessories brochure. Or
ask your Mercedes-Benz dealer, who will be
glad to help.
