Mercedes-Benz Won’t Build Smaller Cars than the A-Class, At Least For Now



Mercedes’ expansion into front-wheel drive territory and smaller segments will not result in cars smaller than the A-Class, at least for the medium term.

As the ForFour will reportedly be less than 3,500mm (137.8in) long, it would leave space for an intermediary model between it and the A-Class, which measures 4,292mm (168.9in) in length. However, Mercedes-Benz doesn’t plan to take that route.
