Market demand has shifted the timeline for Mercedes, prompting the brand’s decision-makers to extend the life of the A-Class hatchback and sedan beyond initial expectations. Originally set to be discontinued in 2026, the two entry-level models will now remain in production until at least 2028 due to their popularity in Europe.

 

That said, there are no plans for an all-new generation. Instead, the upcoming CLA will take over as the new gateway to the Mercedes lineup.
