A-Class Sedan is the seventh car series of the second-generation NGCC family, with an extra tail compartment design, which is naturally a unique identification of RV models.
Fans who are interested in Mercedes benz models, I believe that the relevant configuration and technical details of the A-Class Sedan- should be familiar, including the use of the second-generation MFA front-wheel drive modular chassis and the continuation of the new familyization of the third-generation C257CLS car series Vision, the 1.33-liter small-displacement turbo gasoline engine built in cooperation with the Renault-Nissan-Alliance, and the lowest drag coefficient of 0.22 for global mass-produced cars on the market, etc., are the main product features of A-ClassSedan, and the existing W177a In addition to the Class hatchback, a -ClassSedan- is more inclined to appeal to the traditional four-door RV consumer group.
The clearest distinguishing difference in the appearance of the A-Class Sedan is the more rear compartment design than the a-Class hatchback. The taillights also continue the family-oriented horizontal extension vision, and the tail compartment is widened to 950mm. Under the opening, the tail compartment of the A-Class Sedan has a basic volume of 420 liters.
A180/A200 Sedan are equipped with this M2821.33-liter turbo gasoline engine, and the internal layout is the same as the -Class hatchback.
In the interior part, the A-Class Sedan also continues the large flat-panel interface that integrates the driving instrument and the central control screen. The central control screen is equipped with touch function, or it can also speak key sentences to activate the MBUX multimedia system, and install it in the direction The column gears on the column and the operation interface layout of various functions are also similar to the W177-Class hatchback.
However, there are two A-Class Sedan cars on display, one white and one red. From the outside, you can see that a bunch of additional equipment has been selected, including the full car AMG Line kit, AMG model aluminum ring, 23P smart driving assistance kit, etc. All of them have to be purchased separately. The interior parts, the 0.25-inch screen of the driving instrument, the three-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel, etc. are also optional extras. The A18 0SedanStyle0 and a20 0SedanProgressive0 imported by the Taiwanese Benz. None of the standard models that were purchased had the above-mentioned equipment.
Unlike the A-Class hatchback, the seats of the A-Class Sedan- are standard comfortable seats, and the basic volume of the rear luggage compartment is 420 liters. The seat part is different from the young and sporty A-lass hatchback, which has a single-piece sports car seat design that integrates the headrest and the seat. A-Class Sedan adopts the same standard as w247b- Comfortable seats, and the rear seat part, still has the same problem as other second-generation NGCC family cars. The seat surface is deep enough but the angle is horizontal, which is formed between the foot length of an average adult and the height of the car floor. The unharmonious combination still lacks ride support under the thigh.
Although it has a Cd value of 0.22, the Taiwan-spec A-Class Sedan- is not as good as overseas markets. It also offers A220 and A250 Sedan equipped with Mercedes’ own M260 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine. According to our previous test The experience of driving the A200 hatchback and the B180 model, Daimler Renault-Nissan and the alliance cooperated with the M2821.33 liter downsizingturbo engine, it is difficult to equate with the high-end cars in terms of operating refinement, but the 2.0-liter M260 There is no such problem.
The AMGLine package, the millimeter-wave radar with the factory logo, and the 18/19AMG aluminum ring group are all additional options. A180 SedanStyle does not have a tailpipe and splitter configuration at the rear of the car.
Consumers must understand that the Mercedes NGCC family is originally a product to reduce development costs, and it is also a means for Daimler to maximize profits. Just like the entry-oriented product orientation generally adopted by global premium car brands in recent years, this also makes A-Class Sedan Before listing, it was hyped by some media as “Million Benz”, but is this possible in China? Of course, taking the brand's home country Germany as an example, the A180 0SedanBasic, 1.33 liters 136 hp, six-speed manual, and all simple A -ClassSedan-, the local price can indeed be converted to less than one million Taiwan dollars, but such a configuration, It is absolutely impossible for Taiwanese consumers to accept it, and the import tax has not yet been counted! Even if the Taiwanese Benz really introduces this most entry-level A-ClassSedan, the price of one plus one can hardly be less than one million.
In any case, with the visibility of the first-generation NGCC family models on the road, from a commercial point of view, it is indeed a successful product line, and it does attract many consumers who want to buy high-end cars, and as a new generation of the second-generation NGCC family Can the added four-door RV, A-Class Sedan-, show its unique positioning and attractiveness in the young consumer group that the essence of the NGCC family demands?
