Mercedes-Benz published official pricing in Germany for the recently revealed 2016 Mercedes A-Class facelift that introduced a new base model in the line-up.
There's no coincidence Mercedes-Benz showed the updated A-Class a short time after BMW presented their facelifted 1 Series as the two models battle for supremacy in the compact premium segment.

Higher up the ladder we find the A 180 d BlueEFFICIENCY Edition offering a theoretical combined fuel consumption of 3.5 l/100 km, available from €27,852 or $30,944 at current exchange rates.

Those looking for racing-inspired visual features for their A-Class can go for the "Motorsport Edition" model, inspired by the AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 team. Depending on the engine variant, it will cost an additional €4,849 to €6,307 and will include the front and rear bumper trim are painted in petrol green and AMG light-alloy wheels.

As optionals, clients can add amenities like new suspension with Adaptive Damping System (€892 or $991), LED High-Performance headlamps (€1,041 or $1,156) and ambient lighting (€142 or $158)
