Mercedes-Benz A150/Mercedes-Benz A160/Mercedes-Benz A160 CDI/Mercedes-Benz A170/Mercedes-Benz A180/Mercedes-Benz A180 CDI/Mercedes-Benz A200/Mercedes-Benz A200 CDI (W169). 2004–12 (prod. 1,000,000 at February 2012). 3- and 5-door saloon. F/F, 1498, 1699, 2034 cm³ (I4 OHC), 1991 cm³ diesel (I4 DOHC). Attractive second-generation version of Mercedes-Benz’s clever compact car, evolving earlier themes. More robust, classier styling; better quality inside and out. Wider and longer, giving the car better accommodation. Three-door version introduced and built till 2010, though long-wheelbase five-door not available. Facelift in 2008. Some issues with grip though far improved on its predecessor, thanks in part to improved rear suspension and dampers.
