Non-conformist from the outside and quite the style icon inside. It expels boredom from the street. And gives you an easy ride in the process. High-tech: it goes without saying. Safe: no question. Efficient: naturally. It could not be a more characteristic Mercedes. And at the same time very, very different. Hello, A-Class! 5 6 130 bpm * *When the view leaves you speechless, the heart speaks volumes. An expression of pulsating life: defined edges alongside tautly tensioned surfaces: concave curves, convex sweeping lines – in a perfect rhythm for light shows. And sinewy with it, athletic like a coupé. Lit-up eyes included: this is what a portrait of the A-Class sounds like. 7 8 9 1 * *Endless equipment options. And only one that sets the tone. Your head, your style, your personality, your A-Class. Three possible design and equipment lines, three confident statements: dynamic elegance, urbane style or sporty through and through with the AMG Line. Even more “Me” with three optional Design packages: an extravagant exterior in the Night package, high-quality details in the Exclusive package, sporty presence in the AMG Exclusive package. The A-Class: a Mercedes-Benz where its genes are concerned. But it clearly takes after you. 10 11 800 x 480 * *The offline resolution: the COMAND Online. Sit at the wheel and steer the whole world. A full 17.8 cm display: your window to the web of possibilities. Surf in the browser, search with Google®, share on Facebook® and be there every bit of the way. And you won’t be alone in any situation in the real world, either: the electric parking brake, Active Parking Assist, reversing camera and HOLD function support your motoring pleasure. Technology that makes it easier to be human. 12 > 1000 km * *Every refuelling stop is something special. Good for progress and bank balance alike. The A-Class is a true endurance athlete. The economical consumption from 3.6 litres over 100 kilometres takes you further than you think. Through efficient engines with direct injection and turbocharging. And the standard-specification ECO start/stop function which also helps to put the brakes on consumption at red traffic lights. The very essence of BlueEFFICIENCY. 13 14 15 5 + 11 * *More perception and less risk. Whenever the 5 senses reach their limits they are on hand: 11 assistance systems. Part of the standard specification in the A-Class: the radar-based COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST safety system, the ATTENTION ASSIST system and Hill-Start Assist. Even more safety on request: the DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control and the PRE-SAFE® system. Technologies which can ensure that dangers keep their distance from you. 16 17 18 6.6 s * *Sprint immediately: from 0 to 100 km/h in your best time. Off and away with a lasting impression. A well-exercised heart as a drive system: high-torque and efficient 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. From one gear to another without any interruptions with the optional dual clutch transmission 7G-DCT. Your finger on the pulse of the road: the Direct-Steer system and sports suspension in the optional Dynamic Handling package. An athlete where looks are concerned, too: with a diamond radiator grille and sports seats that have really earned their name. Don’t drive off for less fun. 19 20 21 cd = 0.27 * *If you save on wind resistance, you also save on consumption. The A-Class: a body with such optimum flow that the air becomes short of breath. The result: a cd value like that of notchback saloons. The advantage of this drawback: less fuel consumption, fewer fuelling stops. Pssst: this is how we have also reduced the wind noise. 22 23 450 Nm * *Refresh your knowledge of physics in 4.6 seconds. The A 45 AMG stands for sport, dynamism, power and above all for itself. Because with its AMG 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine it achieves 360 hp, making it the undisputed leader in its segment. This means more hp, more torque and more AMG, sending the vehicle shooting over the road and the adrenaline through your veins. 24 6.9 litres * *No other vehicle drives past so many filling stations with this much power. With great strength the A 45 AMG also assumes a lot of responsibility. By way of example, with 360 hp and 450 Nm it consumes an average of just 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres. Because for sports cars from Affalterbach every drop counts just as much as every tenth of a second. 25 26 California think-tank. There’s something in the air in Palo Alto. It appears to vibrate when the Californian sun sends a new day packed full of brainwaves shining into the foothills of Silicon Valley. user interface designers plus software and hardware engineers are networking the digital lifestyle with the digital drive style. Cross-functional cooperation is the foundation for their working relationship. Renowned universities and visionary start-ups spur each other on to attain maximum performance – like the segments of a hard disc they are in constant communication. And with their creative power they do not stop at the walls of the development centre in California. That is why these are coated with a special paint finish which allows them to be written on with pens. This accelerates the creative process, saves paper and makes it easier to think in all directions. An ability without which the car would never have been invented and which is indispensable for its future development. Mercedes-Benz Research & Development Center North America is also located at the heart of this seat of progress. The most diverse disciplines carry out research here into tomorrow’s innovations: specialists such as Insight 27 ption. Interior. Airbags. LED daytime running lamps. Paintwork. Total displacement.

Our engineers focus on the future every day, the aim being to implement innovative technology. This aspiration has resulted in developments that have had a lasting impact on automotive engineering. In other words, we are working to make sure that a Mercedes-Benz will always be ahead of its time. Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive takes things a stage further by intelligently combining the sensors from various safety and assistance systems. For us, it’s a logical progression as the traffic situation has changed. There are more vehicles on the road, the driver’s job is becoming more complex and the likelihood of distraction is increasing. We have developed one groundbreaking solution after another to get closer to realising our vision of safe and accident-free driving. Innovative technologies such as the anticipatory occupant protection system PRE-SAFE® and DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control first made it onto the road in a Mercedes-Benz, setting new standards in vehicle safety. This is because it was the first time that active and passive systems had been combined – for even better protection and driving comfort. To give the driver even more assistance and deal with the specific situation effectively, we have revolutionised the car once more: a Mercedes-Benz is now able to “see” better in all dimensions. It has an even better view of the road and other road users, and it can react to what it sees. We have developed a stereo camera system that is capable of seeing in three dimensions. Together with further sensors, this produces a 360° all-round view – a precise image of the surroundings. If the driving assistance and safety systems detect danger, they can respond within a fraction of a second to provide the driver with the right support for the situation in hand: by braking in dangerous situations, for example, or by masking out the portion of the main beam affecting oncoming traffic. Pioneer of innovation – Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive once again underlines our ambition to lead and points the way ahead to accident-free and autonomous driving. The following pages include further information about our safety and comfort systems. They are available as standard equipment or optional extras for the A-Class, depending on the model specification; further details can be found on pages 38–41 and 44. AMG Equipment and appointments Services Facts & colours BlueEFFICIENCY – fast forward to tomorrow. Mercedes-Benz brings the future of motoring to the road faster. With ever more efficient vehicles and a production process that wastes fewer and fewer resources. We call this all-encompassing approach BlueEFFICIENCY. By way of example, BlueTEC technology for the diesel engine reduces the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases by up to 90%, while the natural-gas drive NGT drastically reduces emissions and fuel costs. Our hybrid models, featuring an intelligent combination of internal combustion engine and electric drive, can reduce fuel consumption significantly. What’s more, electromobility is also moving into the fast lane with the SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive. Meanwhile, technical and aerodynamic enhancements right down to the last detail make the BlueEFFICIENCY Editions available in selected model series true champions of efficiency. But every A-Class model already boasts a raft of BlueEFFICIENCY features – comprehensive vehicle optimisation measures that have been adapted specifically for this model series. 5 6 1 7 2 1 Ancillary components controlled to save energy. 2 Adjustable radiator shutter (A 180) and controlled oil pump. 3 8 3 Particularly efficient alternator. 4 Engines with direct petrol injection; optimised diesel engines. 9 4 5 Excellent aerodynamics with a cd value of 0.27. 6 Standard-specification ECO start/stop function. 10 7 Standard-specification ECO display. 8 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission (as an option). 9 Reduced rolling resistance on tyres and wheels. 10 Intelligent weight reduction through aluminium (front wings, bonnet and other components). 33 34 Safety Drive system & chassis Comfort Model variants Diesel engines. More economical, cleaner, more powerful: the A-Class also signals the launch of the current Mercedes-Benz diesel technology. The engines are powerful and quiet. And they impress with their optimised emission and fuel-consumption figures. 4-cylinder in-line engines. The 4-cylinder diesel engines display hallmark Mercedes qualities: they boast a hefty torque and an immediate response, even in the lower engine speed range. At the same time the diesel engines are modest when it comes to fuel consumption, they are low on emissions, impress with their significantly improved quietrunning characteristics and with their reduced vibrations. The fourth-generation common-rail diesel technology has an injection pressure that has been increased to 1800 bar, optimised combustion chambers and precise solenoid valve injectors. Improved ignition pressure and a turbocharger with a variable nozzle turbine ensure a high torque in every engine speed range. Intelligently controlled ancillaries contribute towards increasing the efficiency.

The diesel engines are now available in the following output levels: in the A 180 CDI with 80 kW (109 hp) and a maximum torque of 260 Nm (also as the A 180 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Edition) and in the A 200 CDI with 100 kW (136 hp) and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. The A 220 CDI with 125 kW (170 hp) and a maximum torque of 350 Nm already complies with the Euro 6 emission class. AMG Equipment and appointments Services 35 Facts & colours Petrol engines. The petrol engines were developed with the aim of reducing fuel consumption and emissions without compromising on output and ride comfort. 4-cylinder in-line engines. The 4-cylinder powerplants with a displacement of 1.6/2.0 litres, direct petrol injection, variable valve timing and a turbocharger offer excellent figures when it comes to both torque and power, plus exemplary quiet-running characteristics, not to mention appropriately low fuel consumption and emissions. The 4-cylinder petrol engines are now available with the following power outputs: in the A 180 with 90 kW (122 hp) and a maximum torque of 200 Nm (also as the A 180 BlueEFFICIENCY Edition), in the A 200 with 115 kW (156 hp) and a maximum torque of 250 Nm and in the A 250 with 155 kW (211 hp) and a maximum torque of 350 Nm (also as the A 250 Sport and A 250 4MATIC). The new A 45 AMG The high-pressure direct injection via precise piezo injectors and an enhanced combustion process facilitate virtually total combustion and thus higher efficiency, which means that the fuel can be used more efficiently. The variable valve control results in an optimum cylinder charge level and therefore consumption benefits, which also come courtesy of the lower weight, less internal friction plus ancillaries controlled as required. And last but not least the standardspecification ECO start/stop function raises the efficiency of the engines. 4MATIC achieves 265 kW (360 hp) with a maximum torque of 450 Nm. All the petrol engines have low emissions and thus already comply with the requirements of the Euro 6 emission class.

Whether you choose the manual transmission or the optional dual clutch transmission 7G-DCT, whether you prefer an economical or sporty driving style – both transmissions for the A-Class are optimally matched to the engine. They set benchmarks where shift comfort, efficiency and weight optimisation are concerned. 6-speed manual transmission (standard for A 180 CDI, A 200 CDI, A 180 and A 200). The 6-speed manual transmission facilitates rapid gear changes through its short shift travel. The standard-specification ECO start/stop function sees to it that the engine is temporarily switched off when the vehicle is standing at traffic lights and in jams, thus that fuel is saved. The standard-fit ECO display in the instrument cluster also supports an efficient driving style. As the BlueEFFICIENCY Edition the A 180 CDI and A 180 are equipped with an efficiency-optimised 6-speed manual transmission. 7-speed dual clutch transmission 7G-DCT (standard for A 180 CDI [7G-DCT], A 220 CDI, A 250, A 250 Sport and the new all-wheel drive variant A 250 4MATIC). With seven forward gears and one reverse gear the dual clutch transmission combines comfort, sportiness and economy. It comprises two sub-transmissions which each have their own clutch. One of these sub-transmissions supports the “even” gears and the other sub-transmission the “odd” ones. During acceleration or braking the next highest or next lowest gear is the default setting on the sub-transmission not in use at the time. When changing gear there is then a switchover to the other sub-transmission. This means that the gear change takes place without any delay or loss of traction. Both the clutch actuation and the gear change occur fully automatically, which is facilitated by particularly smooth gear shifting without any interruption to traction. The preselectable shift programs “Economy”, “Sport” and “Manual” can be set via a switch on the centre console. The programs differ from one another with regard to the shift characteristics and shift speed. In “Sport” mode, changing up a gear takes place at higher engine speeds than is the case in “Economy” mode, changing down a gear earlier. The “Manual” mode, for example, gives sporty drivers the option of performing gear shifting manually via the steering-wheel gearshift paddles included in the package. Also integrated is the ECO start/stop function for reducing fuel consumption and the new gearshift recommendation display in “Manual” mode for efficient driving. In addition to this the gear that is currently engaged is always shown in the instrument cluster. An ergonomic DIRECT SELECT lever and the cruise control1 and SPEEDTRONIC1 functions are already part of the equipment that comes with 7G-DCT. The 7G-DCT enables gear shifting with no interruptions in tractive power. 1 Integral component of Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive.

The A-Classʼs driving characteristics can be tuned to individual requirements alongside the standard-specification configuration of the chassis and steering with the optionally available combination of the sports suspension and Direct-Steer system. Chassis and steering. The chassis facilitates maximum driving stability and optimum ride comfort – thanks to intelligent weight distribution, its McPherson front axle and four-link rear axle. The rack-and-pinion steering with the STEER CONTROL assistance system enables precise handling in critical driving situations. in tight bends, for instance, or when parking. The straightline stability is especially high at fast speeds and the feedback which the driver receives on the driving situation is very precise. Sports suspension (part of the optional AMG Line design and equipment line and the optional Dynamic Handling package). The sports suspension blends agility and handling safety with good road roar and tyre vibration characteristics. The springs and dampers have sportily taut tuning, whilst the level of the car is lowered by 15 mm – rolling movements are reduced and driving stability is increased. Direct-Steer system (part of the optional AMG Line design and equipment line and the optional Dynamic Handling package). The Direct-Steer system ensures that the steering movements can implement an even more immediate response. It significantly reduces the steering effort required, Agility coupled with high comfort. 4MATIC. In its latest version the permanent all-wheel drive system 4MATIC offers fully variable torque distribution between the front and rear axle. This facilitates sporty driving characteristics with optimum traction in different driving conditions. 37 38 Drive system & chassis Safety Comfort Model variants Integral safety concept. The vision of accident-free driving impels us. With our integral safety concept we are coming closer to achieving this goal – this is a holistic approach which can increase safety in every situation. As the inventor of the motor car we feel a special responsibility for road safety. Thatʼs why we became the first car manufacturer to develop an integral safety concept that seamlessly combines active and passive safety measures to provide comprehensive protection. The holistic approach is divided up into four phases and offers safety solutions for every situation. These include systems for safe driving, which help prevent hazards by providing timely alerts and assistance. Our unique PRE-SAFE® system1 is triggered in response to danger and activates anticipatory measures to protect the occupants. If a collision should occur despite these precautionary measures, other technologies provide the required protection. We have also considered the time immediately after an accident by developing solutions that can prevent serious injury and enable the emergency services to provide rapid assistance. A selection of these technologies for the “Safe driving”, “In the event of danger”, “In an accident” and “After an accident” phases is presented on the pages which follow. 1 Integral component of Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive. More on page 32. Safe driving: ATTENTION ASSIST1 (standard). This drowsiness-detection system is especially useful on long trips. At speeds of between 80 and 180 km/h, ATTENTION ASSIST warns the driver as soon as it detects signs of drowsiness. Sensors analyse driving behaviour and can detect deviations from a previously determined, individual driver profile. Safe driving: COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST1 (standard). At speeds of more than 7 km/h the system is able to detect when distances between the vehicle in which it is fitted and those in front or stationary obstacles are too short. If a hazard is detected the driver is given both visual and acoustic warnings. If the driver applies the brakes at the same time, Adaptive Brake Assist can place at the driverʼs disposal the precise amount of braking power calculated to offer the optimum scope for preventing an impending collision under ideal circumstances. If ATTENTION ASSIST detects signs of driver drowsiness, it recommends The COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST can recognise a safety margin that is taking a break. too short and warn the driver. AMG Equipment and appointments Safe driving: ADAPTIVE BRAKE (standard). A driving dynamics control system with a modular structure. It offers additional safety and comfort functions alongside a base function such as the anti-lock braking system (ABS) 1. The “dry braking” function can remove the film of water from the brake discs in wet conditions – the brakeʼs response time and therefore the stopping distance can be reduced. “Priming” ensures that the brake pads are placed against the brake discs as soon as the driver takes their foot off the accelerator pedal quickly. The time gained shortens the response time of the brakes. When moving off on an incline unintended rolling back is prevented during the space of time when the foot is moving from the brake pedal to the accelerator. If you briefly depress the brake pedal more firmly whilst the vehicle is stationary, the standard-specification HOLD function keeps the vehicle at a standstill, even if the driver takes their foot away from the brake pedal. Services Safe driving: DISTRONIC PLUS1 proximity control (option). The proximity control uses short-range and long-range sensors to maintain the desired safe distance to the vehicle in front. The system operates between 0 and 200 km/h and is also helpful in city traffic or stop-and-go traffic as the sensor can operate in a range of between 0.2 and 200 metres. The system can automatically slow down the vehicle and also accelerate it again. The DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control supports drivers in automatically keeping their vehicle at a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

Services protection of the vehicle occupants: front airbags, which can be deployed in two stages, depending on the impact severity and accident characteristics, windowbags between the A- and C-pillars and sidebags for the driver and front passenger. The kneebag can further reduce the forces exerted on the driver during an accident. Sidebags are available on the left and right in the rear as an optional extra. If the crash sensors detect an accident, the seat belts are tensioned in a few milliseconds to secure the occupants in their seats. The belt force limiters, in turn, reduce the tension where appropriate in order to lessen the load on the thorax. After an accident: Mercedes-Benz emergency call system (component of COMAND Online). This system can make an emergency call automatically using a mobile phone which is on standby and connected to the vehicle as soon as the restraint system detects an accident. At the same time, the GPS position data and other data about the vehicle are transmitted to the Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre, Facts & colours after which a voice connection is established. The emergency control system can also be triggered manually. Measures after an accident. In order to reduce consequential damage and, where necessary, to support the rescue of the occupants, Mercedes-Benz has developed further measures. These include the automatic engine cut-off or the activation of the hazard warning lamps and interior emergency illumination. The central locking also opens automatically and thus makes it easier to open the doors after an accident. In addition Mercedes-Benz makes Guidelines for Rescue Services available; helpers can download them in different languages all over the world from the internet at www.mercedes-benz.de/rettungsleitfaden.
