2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class L Sport Sedan (CN) Studio Exterior Design Overview HD

Shortly before the first A-Class hatchbacks reach customers in Western Europe in May, a new variant of the compact-class family - in the guise of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class L Sedan - will already be celebrating its premiere at Auto China 2018 in Beijing. The notchback model being presented there features a 6 cm longer wheelbase (2789 instead of 2729 mm) and is a variant developed solely for the Chinese market. This A-Class model is being produced exclusively at Beijing Benz Automotive Co., Ltd (BBAC), a joint venture between Daimler and its Chinese partner BAIC Motor.
