The Development Of The Mercedes-Benz A-Class: The Interior - Extraordinary Perceived Value

The starting point for the interior design was the interior sculpture "Mercedes-Benz Aesthetics No. 2" presented at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2011 and which directed attention to the new Mercedes-Benz design language in the vehicle interior, too. The first concrete implementation of this was shown in April 2011 with the "Concept A-CLASS" created in the Advanced Design Studio in the northern Italian city of Como. The process used for the production of the muscle allows diverse soft surface textures. It is thus possible to create different surface appearances with an attractive play of lights thanks to three-dimensional structures embedded in foil. Kaul. Both objectives have been achieved with the help of a specific design idiom and through the various combination options possible with the high-quality materials selected. All trim elements have been given an electroplated finish, resulting in real metal surfaces with "cool touch" effect. The work has been executed with considerable care and attention to detail, so that they appear to have been moulded in one piece. The instrument panel incorporates five round vents.

Kaul. The outer rings of the round vents have a high-quality electroplated finish. The airflow direction is governed by an insert that is reminiscent of an aircraft turbine and reveals a meticulous attention to detail. This too has an electroplated finish in silver-chrome. The free-standing display screen features a black piano-lacquer-look front panel and a flush-fitting silver frame. The instrument cluster comprises two large round instruments, each with a small dial set within it. When at rest, the dial needles stand at 6 o'clock. The pointer inlays are in white, although with the sportier design and equipment lines such as Urban and AMG Sport they are in red. The dials on the sporty equipment lines and packages are coloured silver with a chequered flag effect. The 3-spoke steering wheel comes with 12 function buttons and an electroplated bezel. An extensive range of seat coverings, in terms of material (e.g. leather, fabric, Artico/fabric), colour combination and also geometry, provides scope for a broad range of individualisation options. Sports seats with integrated head restraints are available, for example, as an optional extra with all design and equipment lines. The sporty nature of the seats is emphasised by the opening between the upper edge of the seat backrest and the head restraint. On the back of the front seats this opening is edged with a frame in silver chrome and, in conjunction with the Light and Sight package, can also feature ambient lighting.

Cornering is about the same for both, with roll well-controlled, but the ride quality in a straight line was drastically different. The 4Matic car is poorly damped, bouncing on its springs over every road imperfection - enough, probably, to induce carsickness in those prone to it. Contrast this with the typical European-style damping of the front-drive car, firmly absorbing most bumps with a bit of crash over larger ones. The optional 19-inch wheels are probably responsible for the crashiness, and other trims will offer smaller sizes. But we have no idea how to explain the discrepancy between the two ostensibly equivalent suspensions, which other drivers reported in their 4Matic cars. We hope Mercedes makes an adjustment here before the cars go on sale. As it stands, the front-driver has a vastly superior ride. This is a compact car, but save a lack of driver headroom the rest is reasonably sized. The front seats are bolstered enough to hold the front passengers in place without jostling the kidneys. One tester had full leather seats, the other had microfiber inserts - both looked and felt premium.
