The Mercedes A Class facelift has been launched in India at a starting price of INR 24.95 lakhs (ex-showroom, Mumbai). This completes the automaker’s launching spree of 15 cars in the calendar year.

Unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year, the updated entry level luxury hatchback carries minor design revisions, equipment upgrades and powertrain tweaks. The major visual enhancement comes in the form of the diamond grille which is now standard across all the variants. A reprofiled bumper and optional LED headlamps complete the changes upfront.

The profile stays intact save for the new alloy wheel design. New detailing for the rear combination lights and a larger diffuser with twin exhausts round off the exterior changes. The hatchback also receives new Elbaite Green exterior color option.

Enhancements on the inside include new instrument console, improved seats and upgraded COMAND display.

Inside, the A Class facelift features revised instrument console, new color trims, improved seats, upgraded COMAND infotainment system with Apply CarPlay and MirrorLink support. Customers can also specify the premium hatchback with optional 8-inch centre console display. Mercedes claims that the material quality has been improved.
