This funky little hatchback is on its way to Auto Shanghai, but Mercedes-Benz has shared these pics ahead of the public debut. The Concept A-Class might have come from another planet, according to Benz, but we reckon it’s more like the spawn of Chris Bangle’s flame surfacing, with a few soft edges.
The Concept A-Class actually draws it’s inspiration from the F800 concept we first saw early last year. Regardless, we like that the new A-Class is moving away from its high-top look and reckon it’s heading in the right direction.
With a 155kW 2.0 litre turbo four cylinder is this the first genuine Golf GTI from the world’s oldest car maker? The Concept A-Class has a dual clutch transmission, as is fast becoming the norm, and brings higher spec features down the food chain, such as full LED headlamps and radar based collision warning systems.
This concept is pretty wild—check the interior pics after the break—and it will be interesting to see just what the final model looks like once it hits the production line.
