Overview

• Autocar, cited by CarExpert, reports Mercedes plans an A‑Class replacement as a fifth body style on its MMA platform.
• The new entry model is expected to be offered with petrol and electric powertrains, reflecting the brand’s dual‑track approach.
• Production of the current A‑Class will reportedly continue until around 2028, when the replacement is slated to debut.
• The move marks a reversal of the earlier plan to pare back Entry Luxury models, following 2025 declines of 9% in overall sales and 16% in the Entry category.
• Mercedes has not confirmed the program, and the current A‑Class’s roughly €34,000 price in Germany highlights its role as a lower‑priced gateway versus the CLA at about €56,000.
