An A-Class saloon and a new crossover could be on the way, and the current front-wheel-drive models will all be updated

German car companies love to find tiny niches; spaces in the car market that you didn’t know existed and you didn’t know you needed. Not content with five front-wheel-drive models, Mercedes has confirmed to Car and Driver that its next-generation small car architecture will support no less than eight different cars with the three-pointed star on the front. If you’re after a small Mercedes, your choice just got a bit more complicated.

The GLA crossover will be updated

The current FWD platform underpins the A-Class, B-Class, CLA saloon and shooting brake, and the GLA; all of which will be replaced and updated. But Car & Driver speculates that we’ll also get a new A-Class saloon and new small crossover. If you’re in China, a long-wheelbase A-Class saloon could be heading your way as well.

More models means more AMG cars. Happy us.
