Intelligent Drive:

• For the first time, the A-Class is able to drive semi-autonomously in certain driving situations.
• Highest safety standard in this segment thanks to extended driving assistance systems with S-Class functions (FAP 4.5; optional equipment)
• Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist now support the driver even more conveniently in keeping a safe distance and steering, and the vehicle speed is now also automatically adjusted on bends, at road junctions and on roundabouts.
• Also on board are e.g. Active Emergency Stop Assist and intuitively understandable Active Lane Change Assist.

• PRE-SAFE^® PLUS can recognise an imminent rear-end collision. If the danger of a collision persists, the system can also firmly apply the brakes of the vehicle when stationary, thus minimising the risk of injuries by reducing the forward jolt caused by an impact from the rear.

New range of efficient engines:

• New four-cylinder petrol engine M 282 (1.4 l displacement, up to 161 hp and 184 lb ft) with cylinder shutoff (initially in combination with 7G-DCT) and innovations such as the delta shape of the cylinder head, NANOSLIDE^® and Eco-Tough coating, petrol particulate filter, new 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission.

• Further development of 4MATIC all-wheel drive with electro-mechanically controlled multiplate clutch

Modern luxury redefined:

• Avant-garde styling of the dashboard and a cockpit with no cowl create a unique architecture.
• The two displays measuring up to 10.25 inches (26 cm) each blend together under a shared glass cover (except with the basic variant with two 7-inch displays) to form a completely free-standing Widescreen cockpit.
