  | Official: Mercedes-Benz A class Facelift  Earlier this month Mercedes-Benz took the covers off its facelited B-Class range and now we have first details about the 2009 model year update for the smaller A-Class. Due for release in the second half of the year, the new A-Class gets a slightly revised look, a revamped interior and a cleaner engine range. New to range is fuel saving engine stop-start technology for the volume A150 and A170 models as well as the addition of an ultra-frugal A150 BlueEfficiency model, which gets by on just 5.8L of petrol per 100km (40.5mpg) yet still delivers a reasonable 95hp. Other fuel saving technology include aerodynamic enhancements, low rolling resistant tires and an extensive weight saving program. The most economic model remains the 82hp A160 CDI, which consumes just 4.5L of diesel per 100km (52mpg). The cabin gets new material choices for the seats and door linings, plus buyers can also opt for brushed aluminum or wooden trim. Key visual differences between the 2009 model and its predecessor include new shape headlights, wraparound taillights, and revised bumpers sporting larger air-intakes. The range also features several new grille designs depending on whether the car is equipped with either Avantgarde or Elegance specifications.

| Re: Official: Mercedes-Benz A class Facelift IMO, it is far more elegant than in the past, although this is only a FL. Hope to get more photos today, 'cause I am very interested in the 3 door version.  Very stylish car!

| Re: Official: Mercedes-Benz A class Facelift Front bumper is very nice but I don't like that tip of the head lights that extends to the sides of the car. What's going on at MB, they seem to be giving all cars the GLK head light treatment. |

| Re: Official: Mercedes-Benz A class Facelift Mercedes kinda manage to facelift their cars worse looking than the preFL versions... first the SL, then the ML, and the A class is following that route.
