| Home / Mercedes-Benz / List of Mercedes A-Class Models without Timing Belt
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a high-end car (C-segment in Europe), but was initially a compact minivan (B-segment). It is manufactured by the German automaker Daimler. The first period (as a minivan) comprises the years 1997 to 2011. In 2012, the A-Class concept changed radically and became a Hatchback. In this current generation, there is even a sedan version. The A-Class has been the subject of numerous controversies. The most recent is due to the use of Renault engines in the less powerful versions of this vehicle.
Some of its competitors by segment and price are the Audi A3 and the BMW 1 Series. There have been 4 generations of this vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class – First Generation (W168)
Minivan / Mini MPV (W168)
Despite appearances, the first A-Class was marked by its safety problems. In 1997, the A-Class became infamously known for its proneness to roll over during the Moose Test. This exam consist in an evasive manoeuvre test that emulates trying to dodge an animal in a real road situation. The test is performed with a couple of taps of the steering wheel, no braking, and is one of the most typical tests performed to determine the responsiveness of a car in dangerous circumstances.
To solve it, Mercedes-Benz had to recall all affected vehicles and stiffen their suspension. In addition, they changed wheels, used lower profile tires and added standard ESP.
