Spied: 2013 Mercedes-Benz BLS

Our Teamspeed spies have been rather busy today and here they send us new shots that reveal the new Mercedes-Benz BLS 4-door sedan/coupe, a baby-CLS, based on the next-generation A-class and due in 2013/2014. The prototype we see here is dressed in a heavy plastic camouflage but we can make out the basic contours of this compact sedan/coupe.

The car was believed to be named the CLA but recent sources tell us this will be called the BLS. The new model will be front-wheel drive and based on the MFA platform shared with the upcoming next-generation A-class and B-class models.

As this is basically an A-class hatch, engine options will be shared with that sister model and include a 2.0-litre with 200 hp and a 2.2-litre diesel with 170 hp. No word yet on an AMG variant but the way Mercedes has been diluting that iconic badging we expect to see one.

 

How can to feel it so good?
