Mercedes-Benz has just uploaded a new video teaser of the top-of-the-line A-Class that will give the all new BMW 135i and Audi RS 3 a run for their money, or will it?
This hot hatch Mercedes is now testing it the severe snow covered roads in Sweden with its unveiling primed for next quarter.
There will be two versions unveiled. The A45 4MATIC + and the A45 S 4MATIC +, with about 390bhp and 422bhp, enough to challenge the Audi RS 3 Sportback and the BMW 135i.
Rumor has it that the most powerful A-Class could be also sold with a hybrid propulsion system, based on a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which will generate over 400hp. The gearbox will be robotic and the traction system will be shared with the E 63 S.
