Mercedes has revealed the interior layout and design for its yet-to-debut A-Class.
The next Benz A-Class will have a minimalistic cabin with few ‘lines’ as not to ‘clutter’ what Mercedes hopes its customers will see as an “avant-garde” design.
Much like the ‘Concept A’ revealed by Mercedes-Benz during the Shanghai Motor Show, the interior is quite a departure from the current generation of Mercedes design.
However, a trackpad and some drive mode controls remain on the centre console.
‘Turbine’ A/C vents are the most prominent features to depart from the dash’s surface, aside from the new flat-screen instrument cluster which has no cowl above it.
Mercedes-Benz head of interior design Hartmut Sinkwitz says the new A-Class cabin is intended to provide the compact segment with a luxury feel it has been lacking.

“It lends a new quality to the term “modern luxury” in the compact segment, and is an inner revolution.”
When the new A-Class is revealed in full, we’re expecting to find out everything we’e been wondering about the AMG variants, namely the A45.
In addition, a less powerful AMG A-Class (which is likely to be called either the A32 or A36 according to an Autocar report) will join the new line-up.
