Mercedes-Benz Reveals A-Class Concept Sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show 2017

Shanghai Motor Show has revealed a first for the next generation Mercedes A-Class, in sedan guise.

The concept previews the future look of the brand’s next generation of compact cars – more specifically, the fourth-generation A-Class and the possible expansion of the small car range with a new A-Class saloon.

The concept is longer than the current hatch, but narrower and taller. Its only familiar design theme is the Panamericana grille, which was first seen on the AMG GT and is expected to feature on all ‘full-house’ AMG models (like the A45 AMG) in the coming years.

The 20-inch alloys, surface detailing on the bonnet and narrow LED headlamps are new styling features.

A more upright roof, than the current Mercedes-Benz CLA, for the A-Class Concept Sedan

At 179.9 inches long, the Concept-A Sedan is about the same size as the current CLA, but features a more upright roof that should give the interior an airier feel.

We’ll have more from the 2017 Shanghai Motor Show soon.
