The W177 A-Class hatchback officially debuted at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.[11] It is based on the front-wheel drive MFA2 (Modular Front Architecture) platform and features front MacPherson struts, and rear torsion beam suspension, though some models are equipped with multi-link rear suspension.[12]
In mid-2020, the production of the North American-market A-Class sedan returned to Rastatt, Germany from the COMPAS plant in Aguascalientes, Mexico to increase the production capacity of the GLB.[13]
The vehicle received a facelift for the 2023 model year.[14]
