The other option will be a 2.0-litre engine with availability in two tunes - 191 hp and 244 hp. This new engine also inspires the new A 35 4MATIC model of the AMG lineup that will work in conjunction with a 48-volt electric motor to deliver a total power output of 306 hp and 409 Nm of torque.

The center of attention for the upcoming A-Class is its cabin, which is inspired by the new S-Class and E-Class.
