设 计 / 张 萌 四个月前，"奔驰A级停产"的话题还在社交媒体上引发一片唏嘘，被不少人视为"一个时代的终 结"。 当所有人都以为这款"最便宜的奔驰"即将谢幕时，剧情却在最近迎来大反转。 2025年7月18日，据外媒报道，梅赛德斯-奔驰内部消息人士透露，公司决定给A级"续命"——将原 定于2026年的停产计划推迟两年，生产延续至2028年。 奔驰生产主管约尔格·布尔泽（Jörg Burzer）随后证实了这一决定，但也明确表示：这将是A级车 的"最后一轮生产"。 作 者 / 莫 莉 编 辑 / 黄大路 这意味着，包括A级轿车在内的多款紧凑车将被淘汰，未来销售重心将集中在全新的MMA （Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture）平台上。 这些发声，被外界视为豪车品牌对低端市场的彻底弃守。沉默之后的突然转折来得让人颇为意外。 根据奔驰公布的规划，停产后的入门级车型接班人将是基于MMA平台的CLA轿车。 奔驰已宣布2026年将在拉施塔特工厂投产下一代CLA轿车，该车将率先推出混动和纯电版本，同时 还会推出猎装版（CLA Shooting Brake），并研发替代GLA的小型SUV。 这场戏 ...
