2016 MB A-Class

[FiestaST]

The facelift of the A-Class is here...a fair number of changes.

Most NB is still like new A160 75kw entry level model; the "CDI" diesel badging are now just "d"; A220d has 5kw more power taking it to 130kw; A250 has 5kw more as well taking it to 160kw (exact same now as 125i) & there is a manual box option for this model.

Starting from early 2016 this is the 1st MB model to have the option of Apple CarPlay & Android Auto.

There is a "Motorsport Edition" theme car based on the colours of the Merc AMG F1 team.

I've been a fan of this current gen A-Class & now it's even better. No doubt it will not be cheap.

Could prove to be a tough battle here...

"The Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC also benefits from the model facelift. With peak output of 280 kW (381 hp) and a maximum torque of 475 Nm, the entry-level model from Mercedes-AMG is the world's most powerful compact sports model."

No contest ,280 kw .
The new specs just push it out of reach of the new Focus RS but price will make all the difference .

Yes looks the same to me but i think the reason is the screen is just so big it would need a complete redesign of the dash to fit it in .

Not sure why the surprise gents; MB has been doing the "iPad Mini" since 2011.

The update now just allows up to an 8" vs 7" previously...

Coincidentally the (Apple) iPad Mini is 7.9".

Suspension has been massively improved and LED headlights over the Bi-Xenons will be super welcomed!

Wish I could get the little upgrades
