Mercedes-Benz A-Class to continue with new generation and electric options

Mercedes-Benz revises strategy, keeping the A-Class with a new generation by 2028 on the MMA platform, offering gasoline and electric versions. Learn about the updates and electrification plans.

Mercedes-Benz has revised its strategy and decided to keep the A-Class in its lineup. Not only will the model not disappear, but it will also receive a new generation by 2028, as previously reported by journalists from Tarantas News.

Abandoning the Previous Course

Initially, the company planned to end the A-Class's life cycle to shift toward more profitable models and electric vehicles. However, demand for electric cars turned out lower than expected, forcing a rethink of plans.

Now, the new A-Class will evolve alongside electrification efforts.

New Platform and Technologies

The next generation will transition to the MMA architecture, which supports both gasoline and electric versions. This will allow models to be produced on a single line and reduce costs.

The electric version will feature an 800-volt system, batteries up to 85 kWh, and power up to 349 hp, with the AMG version offering around 500 hp.

A Compromise Between Classic and Trends

Despite the move toward electrification, the A-Class will retain its hatchback format. However, the seating position will become higher due to battery characteristics, but handling will remain at the level of traditional models.

Overall, this shows a more flexible approach from Mercedes: the brand is not betting solely on electric vehicles but maintaining a balance between technology and real-world demand.
