Mercedes released a new TV spot for the 2013 A-Class, and like the previosu ones, it is kinda dark and misty. The “Arrival Star” is mostly a showcase of the visual features of the A250 Sport And A180 CDI, and that’s to be honest the main highlight of the new A-Class: the looks. Compared to the old A-Class, the 2013 version is about 150 percent better. It is also a good car underneath, and joy of joys, there’s an AMG version coming.

Some of the technical highlights of the 2013 Mercedes A Class include a host of powerful engines ranging from 80 kW (109 hp) to 155 kW (211 hp), extremely efficient with emissions from just 98 g of CO2/km and a best-in-class drag coefficient of 0.27. The standard specification includes, amongst other things, the radar-based COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST system. Prices in Germany start at €23,978.50 for the A 180 BlueEFFICIENCY.
