New A-Class has grown in size, substance

The new generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class is longer, wider and taller than its predecessor and also has a longer wheelbase, writes Brian Byrne.

With more shoulder room and a bigger capacity boot, the car is overall a significant move onwards for the nameplate in its fourth generation.

There are also new engines, including 1.3 and 2.0 petrol units and a 1.5 diesel.

Semi-autonomous driving will also be available in certain conditions, according to the company. The full range of current Mercedes-Benz connectivity and safety technologies will be included in the specifications.

The interior design includes a double instruments and infotainments screens system in one wide module.

First market launches commence in May.

At that point, with Aggro up very close and personal to the riverboat, we really didn't need the reminder. The crocodile might not be showing big interest in raw chops, but a couple of fingers or a hand might well have tempted him to an appetiser. "Come on, Aggro," Steve called again, this time almost bouncing the tasty pork on the croc's nostrils.
