If the third-gen CLS is any indication,
Mercedes-Benz is in the midst of a design language shift, and the 2019 A-Class
will probably adopt many of the new elements.
As soon as Mercedes started shedding some of the
camouflage on their A-Class prototypes, we recognized the Concept A Sedan
features, from the sharp, downward angled LED headlights to the horizontal,
teardrop-shaped taillights.
There's also a little bit of the Concept EQA in the
new A-Class, but the similarities are very subtle - mostly the shape of the
headlights and the overall compact dimensions. Just recently, the
Stuttgart-based automaker released a teaser video showing the 2019 A-Class
undergoing cold weather tests, providing us with a genuinely good look at the
taillight graphics.
Now, thanks to Japanese website Response, we can see
how all these features come together in what is undoubtedly the best all-new
A-Class render we've seen so far, and it certainly seems like Mercedes is again
aiming to make a stylish premium compact hatchback.
