If Mercedes-Benz follows the example of the B-Class that was facelifted three years after launch, then we could see an updated A-Class before the end of 2015.

Our spies spotted this A-Class hatchback undergoing winter testing in Sweden. Only the rear lights and the front end were covered up, which should point to the (subtle) cosmetic revisions planned by Mercedes.

We can’t see the interior yet, but it’s very likely that the A-Class will feature minor styling updates and possibly, a newer multimedia system with a bigger screen.

No major engineering changes are expected, however, the compact model’s range of petrol and diesel engines could gain some updates to improve their efficiency, while the top A45 AMG may get a more powerful sibling, according to recent rumors.
