Sejarah

Pada tahun 1994, Mercedes-Benz mengkonfirmasi bahwa mereka akan meluncurkan mobil kompak - A-Class (A 160) - pada awal 1997, dan (A190) pada awal 1999, yang akan menjadi usaha pertama perusahaan di sektor ini. pasar; itu mengisyaratkan pada tahap ini bahwa mobil baru akan lebih pendek dari rata-rata supermini tapi luas dan praktis di dalam sebagai mobil keluarga besar.[1]

Pada tahun 1994, Mercedes-Benz mengkonfirmasi bahwa mereka akan meluncurkan mobil kompak - A-Class (A 160) - pada awal 1997, dan (A190) pada awal 1999, The yang akan menjadi usaha pertama perusahaan di sektor pasar ini; itu mengisyaratkan pada tahap ini bahwa mobil baru akan lebih pendek dari rata-rata supermini tapi luas dan praktis di dalam sebagai mobil keluarga besar.[2]

A-Class pertama kali diungkapkan kepada pers otomotif akhir tahun 1996, dan akhirnya diluncurkan di Frankfurt Motor Show pada musim gugur 1997, W168 A-Class cukup tidak biasa untuk Mercedes-Benz yang menampilkan tata letak penggerak roda depan dan tidak biasa. tubuh tinggi tapi namun pendek dan Advantgarde di 1999 Geneva Motor Show dan 1999 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Ini adalah eksterior lengkap pertama yang dirancang oleh Universitas Coventry yang dilatih Steve Mattin, di mana ia dinobatkan sebagai 'Perancang Tahun Ini' majalah Autocar. Sebelumnya, Mattin banyak mengerjakan desain untuk W210 E-Class pada tahun 1991. Bersamaan dengan W168, ia mendesain eksterior W220 S-Class. Pembekuan desain akhir terjadi pada Januari 1995, pada 32 bulan sebelum Agustus 1997 dimulainya produksi.[3][4]

W168 menjadi terkenal pada tahun 1997 setelah terbalik selama "test elk" tradisional[5] dilakukan oleh publikasi mobil Swedia Teknikens Värld. Menurut laporan itu, W168 terbalik saat bermanuver untuk menghindari "elk". Mercedes awalnya menyangkal masalah tersebut, tetapi kemudian mengambil langkah mengejutkan dengan menarik kembali semua unit yang terjual hingga saat ini (2.600) dan menangguhkan penjualan selama tiga bulan sampai masalah tersebut diselesaikan dengan menambahkan kontrol stabilitas elektronik dan memodifikasi suspensi.[6] Perusahaan menghabiskan DM 2,5 miliar untuk mengembangkan mobil, dengan DM 300 juta lagi untuk memperbaikinya.[7]

Antara 1997 dan 2004, 1,1 juta model A-Class generasi pertama telah terjual.[8] Secara keseluruhan, Daimler kehilangan €1.440 per kendaraan yang diproduksi.[9]

A-Class mengalami pembaharuan pada tahun 2001, dengan sedikit perubahan pada lampu depan, desain bumper depan dan belakang, dan penambahan versi wheelbase baru yang lebih panjang 170 mm (6,7 inci). Diluncurkan di Geneva Motor Show.[10]

Mesin

Semua model A-Class ditenagai oleh mesin empat silinder, dengan model bensin 1,4 L dan 1,6 L saat diluncurkan (seri M 166), diikuti oleh dua versi mesin diesel 1,7 L (seri OM 668). Pada tahun 1999, model bensin 1,9 L yang lebih besar ditambahkan, dengan 2.1 versi W168 terakhir yang diluncurkan pada tahun 2002. Juga dua versi AMG diproduksi, 3.2 pada tahun 2001 dan 3.8 pada tahun 2000, meskipun sangat sedikit yang dibuat.[11]

Production

DaimlerChrysler invested EUR 900 million in developing the Rastatt plant where the A-Class is produced, and created 1600 new jobs (for a total of 4700). A further 600 people work in the office building at the plant site.

Mercedes-Benz began W168 production on 17 February 1999 at its new Brazilian facility in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. The Brazilian plant was the company's first factory in South America dedicated to passenger cars, with an investment of US$840 million and 10,000 employees. The factory initially produced A-Class and C-Class models, assembling them from pieces manufactured in Germany. The target for the cars was regional markets (from Argentina to Mexico) with modifications made to the cars to suit local conditions, like a protection for the motor base. On 15 August 2005 the factory stopped production of A-Class cars.

The W169 is constructed with high-strength steel alloys with bonded joints. Standard equipment included front as well as combined head and thorax-protection side airbags. The front airbags are adaptive with two-stage gas generators operating according to the severity of accident. Optionally rear side airbags (for side-impacts in the backseats) and side-curtain airbags were available.

The force exerted by the seat belt system during a collision adapts dynamically to collision characteristics. The 'active' head restraints (standard for driver and front passenger) reduce neck injury, especially in rear collisions.

The cargo capacity of the W169 was increased by 15 percent over the W168.

Seven four-cylinder engines were available: four petrol (gasoline) (A 150, A 170, A 200, A 200 Turbo) and three diesel (A 160 CDI, A 180 CDI, A 200 CDI) partnered with either five- or six-speed manual gearbox. A continuously variable transmission system called "Autotronic Constantly Variable Transmission" (CVT) is an optional feature.

The petrol A 200 Turbo provides 193 hp (144 kW) and 280 N⋅m (207 lb⋅ft) of torque (rotational force); the diesel A 200 CDI has 140 hp (104 kW) and 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft).

The most powerful engine achieved 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.0 seconds with a top speed of 218 km/h (135 mph). The newly developed direct-injection CDI diesel units use a common-rail direct injection system that improves fuel consumption and reduces exhaust emissions and engine noise.

All the engines meet the tight EU4 emissions limits. A particulate filter system is available as an option for the diesel units to reduce particulate emissions by about 99% without the need for additives.

The A-Class is a front wheel drive car and features traction control (ASR) as standard, as well as electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes (ABS).

Handling is improved by precision tracking and anti-roll support, and by a Parabolic Rear Axle.

A "Selective Damping System", in which the shock absorber forces respond differently according to conditions, is standard. For example, under normal conditions it operates at soft absorption; while cornering at speed it changes to full damping force.

Sales of the W169 were targeted at 50,000 units in 2004. Dr. Joachim Schmidt, Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing, Mercedes Car Group, said that target had been reached even before vehicles arrived in dealer showrooms.[butuh rujukan]

Japan models went on sale in 2005-02-04. Early models include 5-door right drive versions of A 170, A 170 Elegance, A 200 Elegance.[14] 5-door right drive version of A 200 TURBO Elegance was added in 2005-11-10.[15] Due to the body width being larger than 1700 mm, it could not be registered as small car in Japan.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class “F-Cell” (2004–)

 
Mercedes-Benz A-Class F-Cell concept

It is a version of 5-door A-Class hydrogen fuel cell vehicle with 88 PS (65 kW; 87 hp) electric motor. It has a driving range of 160 km (99 mi).[16]

Three A-Class F-Cell cars were used in the 2003 Frankfurt International Motor Show for press shuttle service. On 18 June 2004, 4 production F-Cell vehicles were delivered to Deutsche Telekom and BEWAG/Vattenfall Europe in Berlin.[17]

In 2007, the A-Class F-Cell were delivered to Landsvirkjun and Reykjavik Energy.[18]

A DHL version of F-Cell was unveiled in FC EXPO 2008.[19]

2008 update

 
Pre-facelift interior

The W169 Model facelift changes included redesigned front and rear fascias and lights, and optional stop-start function on A 150 and 170 models.[20] Active Park Assist enables the car to parallel park itself, with only throttle and brake inputs required from the driver.

The five-door Hatchback and the three-door Coupé vehicles debuted in spring 2008, alongside the refreshed 2009 M-Class and B-Class.[21] Early models include A 160 CDI, A 180 CDI, A 200 CDI, A 150, A 170, A 200, A 200 TURBO.[22]

Japan models went on sale in 2008-08-20. Early models 5-door versions of A 170, A 170 Elegance.[23] Japan models of A 170 was renamed to A 180 in 2009-08-24.[24]

A-Class Special Edition 2009 (2009–)

It is a limited (5500 units) version for all model variants of the A-Class vehicles. It includes BlueEfficiency package, black radiator louvres, 16-inch titanium silver light-alloy wheels in a new 9-spoke design (tyre size 195/55 R16), a "Special Edition" badge on the mirror triangle, two-tone colour scheme in black and grey, Audio 20 radio with CD player and Bluetooth hands-free system and the Light and Sight package with a rain sensor, automatically dimming rear-view mirror, an illuminated vanity mirror in the sun visor, separately adjustable reading lights in the rear, a reading light for the driver and illuminated front foot wells, Seating Comfort package (height-adjustable front passenger seat, seat cushion angle adjustment and lumbar supports for the driver and front passenger). Standard exterior features also include fog lamps and a free choice of metallic paint finish.[25]

Mercedes-Benz A-Class E-CELL (2010–)

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class E-CELL was introduced in September 2010 and debuted at the October 2010 Paris Motor Show.[26][27] The E-Cell has a range of 200 kilometer (120 mi) capable of developing a peak output of 70 kW (94 hp), a continuous power rating of 50 kW (67 hp) and a maximum torque of 290 N·m (214 lb·ft). The Mercedes A-Class E-Cell can accelerate from 0–60 km/h (37 mph) in 5.5 seconds, and its top speed is 150 km/h (93 mph).[26][28]

Tesla Motors, as part of its collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, built electric powertrain components for the E-Cell. The 36 kWh battery contains approximately 4,000 individual lithium-ion cells.[26][29][30] Mercedes has developed a modular system for electric vehicles with battery and fuel-cell. This system allows the efficient use of shared parts in all the brand's electric vehicles. Thanks to the modular approach the electric drive of the A‑Class E‑Cell is also used in the B‑Class F‑Cell, and the energy storage units in the A‑Class EV are the same as the battery in the Smart fortwo electric drive.[26][28]

A limited production of 500 A-Class E-Cell electric cars will be built, for trial purposes, at the Mercedes Rastatt plant, near Stuttgart beginning in September 2010. As part of a demonstration program, the cars will be leased to selected customers in several European countries, including Germany, France, and the Netherlands. Daimler is not planning to sell the electric version outside Europe.[26][28][31]
