Mercedes has revealed more details about its next generation of compact cars, as the teaser campaign for its new CLA sedan gets into full swing.
As a reminder, the A-Class and B-Class hatchbacks are set to fall away, but the new compact family will include replacements for the CLA and CLA Shooting Brake as well as two SUV models which are presumed to be successors to the GLA and GLB.
The line-up will be underpinned by the newly designed MMA platform, which Mercedes describes as an electric-first architecture.
Nonetheless, as the world isnt quite ready for full electrification just yet, the compact range will include hybrid internal combustion models.
These, says Mercedes, will feature an advanced new 1.5-litre Miller combustion cycle turbocharged petrol engine, featuring 48-volt hybrid technology.
