New on the outside... but mostly on the inside
Despite the sales success of the current generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class, there was criticism regarding the materials chosen for the interior of the Stuttgart brand's more compact model. The German brand listened to these criticisms and in this generation renewed the new Mercedes-Benz Class A from «top to bottom».
The A-Class interior design was inspired by the E-Class layout, and now uses two screens for the instrument panel and infotainment system. As for the steering wheel, it's exactly the same as the one on the S-Class "Admiral Ship".
