2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class

The Geneva Motor Show doesn’t open its doors for a few hours, but that hasn’t stopped Mercedes-Benz from revealing their new 2012 A-Class hatchback for the European market. The roomy new sedan boasts a luxurious interior and is powered by four-cylinder gas or diesel engines ranging between 1.6 and 2.0-liters, with direct injection and turbocharging, as well as standard start/stop functionality. The customer will also be able to choose between MB’s new six-speed manual unit or a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox for their transmission. While an official North American release is expected, exact model specifications have not yet been released.
