Mercedes reveals striking Concept A
Premium compact saloon has been designed with coupe-like looks
Mercedes has lifted the lid on its Concept A saloon.
Designed with coupe-like looks, the compact Concept A points towards Mercedes’ future design direction. It rides on large 20-inch alloy wheels, while its door handles are flush with the body, ensuring that its elegant lines remain uninterrupted.
The headlamps feature a grid structure coated in UV paint. These are then exposed to ultraviolet light, and can be made to ‘glow’ in different colours depending on the type of light that they are lit with.
Gorden Wagener, chief design officer for Daimler AG, said: “Our Concept A shows that the time of creases is over.
“With its perfect proportions and a sensual treatment of surfaces with reduced lines, it is the next milestone of sensual purity and has the potential to introduce a new design era.”
The rear of the car features a section designed to recreate the look of a diffuser, with this area trimmed in black and chrome. Two integrated exhausts sit on either side.
A large panoramic glass roof has also been fitted, allowing more light into the cabin, while dark tinted windows work to protect the privacy of those sat inside.
