Mercedes-Benz A-Class ‘Sport Edition’ features
Front apron spoiler lip and trim front with diamond grille in black
The pronounced, arrow-shaped front module and the striking radiator grille lend the A-Class a confident look and an air of vitality. To emphasize the beauty of the A- Class, radiator trim in the form of a diamond radiator grille is part of the Mercedes- Benz ‘Sport Edition’. The front bumper has been treated with apron spoiler lip along with chrome trims adding to the sportiness of the front design.
Diffuser-look rear apron trim and roof spoiler
The modified rear on the A-Class emphasizes the width even more effectively and exudes strength and dynamism. Thanks to the increased downforce on the rear axle, the ‘Sport Edition’ spoiler painted in the vehicle colour on the roof helps to ensure better road holding. The diffusor-look rear apron trim enhance the looks, providing a muscular feel to the rear end.
