2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Edition 1 - Drive, Interior and Exterior. Color: Designo Mountain Grey Magno, Interior: Upholstery DINAMICA microfibre / ARTICO man-made leather. Subscribe.

The A-Class will be available as an "Edition 1" for around one year after the market launch. Both on the exterior and in the interior, the exclusive special model has numerous colour highlights in Edition green. In addition, equipment features such as LED High Performance headlamps, sport seats and ambient lighting are standard equipment. The Edition 1 is available with all engine variants.

The exterior is based on the AMG Line. The front and rear aprons have inserts in Edition green. Other special features include LED High Performance headlamps and 19-inch AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels with the rim flange painted in Edition green. The special model is recognisable by the "Edition 1" lettering on the front wings. As standard the Edition 1 has a diamond grille with black pins and a black louvre with chrome insert. The exterior mirror housings are painted in black, while the waistline and window line trim strips are in high-gloss black. Standard equipment also includes heat-insulating, dark-tinted glass from the B-pillar to the rear.

Interior highlights include the following:

- Upper dashboard with contrasting topstitching in Edition green
- Sport seats upholstered in ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA microfibre with contrasting topstitching in Edition green
- Armrest in the centre console with contrasting topstitching in Edition green
- Door centre panels in ARTICO man-made leather with contrasting topstitching in Edition green on the armrest
- Chrome-plated air vents
- Ambient lighting in 64 colours
- Multifunction sport steering wheel in nappa leather, perforated in the grip area and with flattened bottom section
- Light trim with longitudinal grain and "Edition 1" lettering
- Floor mats with topstitching in Edition green.

All the new A-Class models are powered by new, efficient engines: Two new four-cylinder petrol engines are available at market launch. Innovations in the M 282 with a displacement of 1.4 l and up to 120 kW include cylinder shutoff (initially in conjunction with the 7G-DCT transmission) and the delta shape of the cylinder head. The second new petrol engine is the M 260 with a displacement of 2.0 litres, 165 kW and 350 Nm. New features include CAMTRONIC for the intake camshaft. Both petrol engine series have a particulate filter as standard.

Also new is the four-cylinder diesel (OM 608) with a displacement of 1.5 litres, up to 85 kW and up to 260 Nm. Its highlights are a near-engine mounted emission control system with AdBlue® technology, a turbocharger with optimised responsiveness and water intercooling. A new 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission is also being introduced. Further new engines will follow. The fuel tank has a capacity of 43 litres as standard, with a 51-litre tank optionally available.

On request the new A-Class is available with the permanent all-wheel drive system 4MATIC with fully variable torque distribution. This sporty all-wheel drive system has been developed further, and now offers even more driving pleasure and efficiency. Using the DYNAMIC SELECT switch, the driver is able to influence the 4MATIC characteristics even more than before. 4MATIC components include the power take-off to the rear axle, which is integrated into the automated dual clutch transmission, and the rear axle differential with an integrated multiplate clutch. This is no longer electro-hydraulically powered, but instead electro-mechanically.

There is a choice of suspension systems for the A-Class, depending on engine variant and driver preference. 16-inch wheels are standard equipment. DYNAMIC SELECT is standard equipment, and at the touch of a button also provides an individual driving experience in conjunction with the suspension with active damping control (optional).

Like all its predecessors, the new A-Class has a McPherson front suspension. The more powerful versions such as the A 250 and all 4MATIC models have a sophisticated four-link rear suspension. The rear axle is mounted on a subframe isolated from the bodyshell by rubber bushings so that fewer vibrations are transferred from the suspension to the body. All in all, the proportion of aluminium in the suspension components is one of the highest in any suspension system in this vehicle class. The entry-level A 200 and A 180 d models have a torsion beam rear suspension.
