Scheduled to make its first public showing at the auto tuning haven that is the Essen motor show is the Brabus Mercedes A-Class. The extensive tuning programme consists of enhancements in the form of aerodynamics, wheels, suspension, engine and interior, serving to make the W176 that little more special.
Beefing up its looks is a high-grade polyurethane bodykit that comprises front and rear spoilers designed to reduce aerodynamic lift on the front and rear axles, while the rear bumper gets a diffuser-like insert that houses the sport exhaust system’s four stainless-steel tailpipes.
No Brabus would be complete without a set of mean wheels, and to that end, a selection of 17-, 18- or 19-inch alloys are offered, the biggest of which comes in five different Monoblock designs. Buyers can opt for Continental, Pirelli or Yokohama rubber up to a size of 255/30 R19 on the rear axle.
Complementing the low-profile tyres are sport springs that lower ride height by about 25 mm, a combination that Brabus calls an “optimal symbiosis” between sporty handling and ride comfort. The company has not released specific details yet of engine tuning, but reveals that the programme, which is in the final stages of development, will include both gasoline- and diesel-powered mills.
Brabus Mastik and Alcantara leather upholstery can be had to plushen the interior, with the choice of colours and designs “limitless.” In addition to that, two-tone scuff plates made out of stainless steel, matt anodised aluminium pedals and door lock pins can be specified.
The tuning programme is backed by a three-year, up to 100,000 km warranty. We’ve driven three variants of the standard car in Slovenia – read our driving impressions here.

Wow this is nice.. but macam pelik je with that quad exhaust tip haha.. overall nice!! 7 over 10 for that aggressive look !
Mercedes M’sia should bring the new A class here coz it’s so beautiful!
The new A Class is the best looking Mercedes, in my opinion. I will pick this over a Golf GTI anytime, if I have the money. Is this RWD?
comel+handsome
This car really GARANG!!
That ass!!
Miles better than 1-er…
I’ll wait for recond or when the price become below rm150k. Damn nice!
Cantiq, but the original one is still better.
wow.. The design is sooo Alfa Romeo-ish.. 147 to be exact..
It is shaped like a rear-wheel-drive sporty hatchback, with unusually long bonnet and and front overhang which deliver a false impression of longitudinal engine. But it is NOT an FR. It is a front wheel drive similar to audi A3 & Golf. Nose heavy construction & lack of agility, in terms of handling it still cannot beat the 1-series. In terms of interior quality, it cannot match the audi a3. But exterior, it looks prettier.
Wonder when mercedesbenz malaysia bring in the new a-class hong kong already have it.
If benz m’sia price it right, this best looking hatch will flooding on m’sia road… thats good, too boring to see so many expensive VW GTI.
