Car New | Mercedes planning new compact sedan for 2018?
Mercedes-Benz is moving forward with the development of a brand-new compact sedan, according to a recent report coming out of England.
The model will be a variant of the A-Class, which is currently only offered as a four-door hatchback (pictured) and not sold on our shores. The sedan will be positioned between the stylish CLA and the C-Class, and it will ride on the second generation of Mercedes’ modular MFA platform.
That means front-wheel drive will come standard, though 4Matic all-wheel drive will be offered at an extra cost. Purists will likely scoff at the idea of a shrunken C-Class with front-wheel drive, but the configuration is par for the course in the segment. The A-Class Sedan’s main rivals will be the BMW 1 Series Sedan built and sold only in China and the Audi A3 Sedan, two models underpinned by front-wheel drive platforms.
