Mercedes-Benz introduced a final facelift for the A-Class' third generation (W177) in the fall of 2022, trying to give its compact-sized lineup a push before the model's change.

The fourth generation of the A-Class was unveiled in 2018 and it brought new improvements for the compact-premium vehicle, with cleaner engines and new infotainment units.

After two generations of MPV-shaped bodyworks, the A-Class finally received a hatchback shape and entered into the premium compact market, joining the Audi A3 and the BMW 1 Series for the same segment.

Mercedes-Benz introduced the third generation of the A-Class in 2012, and unlike its predecessors was a hatchback, not an MPV.

Mercedes-Benz introduced the facelift for the second generation of the A-Class in April 2008 at the Leipzig “Auto Mobil International”. The car kept its main ingredients but added more refinement.

After the big scandal regarding the elk stability test failure for the first generation of the A-Class, the Mercedes-Benz fixed the problem, and, in 2001, it came up with a much better version.

When Mercedes-Benz tried to make a compact luxurious vehicle to be used in cities, it unveiled the A-Class MPV in 1997. In 2001, the long-wheelbase was introduced, to fix more mistakes of the car.

In 1993, Mercedes-Benz showed the “Vision A 93” concept-car at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It was a styling exercise for a compact vehicle, fit for five adults, and great in crowded cities.
