Mercedes-Benz A-Class Hatchback (W169) (W169)

The second A-Class kept the sandwich floor but added something the first never had — a three-door body with genuine sporting pretence.

Launched in 2004, the W169 used M266 petrol fours and OM640 CDI diesels with a five- or six-speed manual or the AUTOTRONIC continuously variable transmission, and in A 200 TURBO form made 193 PS from 2.0 liters.

It was the last A-Class to use the sandwich concept; the W176 of 2012 replaced it with a conventional low-slung hatchback.
