最近谍照记者在瑞典拍到了正在进行冬季测试的全新第四代奔驰A级车。这次测试车拿掉了一些伪装，能更好的看清车身外观，与老款车相比并没有太大变化。新车将比老款车略大，内部空间，尤其是腿部空间和行李箱容积将更大。更重要的是，行李箱开口也更大，存取物品更便利。该车的车尾拿掉了临时安装的尾灯组而采用量产版尾灯组，它采用水平设置并被行李箱盖分开。更宽的尾灯组不仅让车辆的视觉感觉更款，而且表明车身宽度也进一步增加。这次谍照记者还首次拍到了车辆内装照片，显示仪表板有很大变化。现行版的平板电脑造型显示屏已经被更大尺寸显示屏所替代，同时采用了类似E级和S级的全数字仪表群。不过，这个高科技显示屏并非标配，只是在高端版本上才会提供。有消息称，新一代A级将在今年法兰克福车展亮相。新车在上市之初将搭载三缸和四缸汽油/柴油引擎，未来还将增加A45 AMG顶级款，该车将成为A级车首款功率达到298千瓦/400马力的车型。

 

2018 Mercedes A-Class loses heavy camo in latest spy photos

Work on the all-new, fourth generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class continues, as spy photographers have managed to take shots of a prototype, undergoing cold winter tests in Sweden.

 

The new A-Class is finally shedding the heavy disguise which is replaced by less obtrusive coverings. The camouflaged foil is now giving us a better look at the overall shape of the vehicle, which won’t change that much compared to the current model. The vehicle will be slightly bigger than its predecessor, which will result in a roomier cabin with more legroom and a bigger trunk. What’s even more important, the trunk opening will also be bigger than before, allowing for easier loading.

 

Speaking of the rear end, the prototype is finally ditching the fake taillights for what appear to be production clusters, positioned horizontally and split by the boot lid. These wider taillights not only enhance the visual feeling of a wider car, but once again suggest the new A-Class is actually going to be a tad wider than the current model.

 

Our photographers have also managed to get the first interior photos of the car, revealing major changes for the dashboard. The tablet-style center display of the current A-Class is apparently going to be replaced by a bigger screen, while the instrument cluster will be fully digital, just like in the E-Class and S-Class. Of course, this high-tech display won’t come as standard and will be offered for the higher-grade versions.

 

We are still waiting for an official confirmation from the automaker, but sources say the new A-Class will make its global premiere at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Initially, Mercedes will sell the core part of the range, including the base three-cylinder version and other four-cylinder diesel and gasoline variants. They will be joined by the range-topping A45 AMG at a later date – probably turning the car into the first production A-Class with 400 horsepower (298 kilowatts).
