Where is the spare tire for the Mercedes-Benz A-Class?
2 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class comes standard with run-flat tires ex-factory and does not include a spare tire. If you have a self-provided spare tire, it can be placed in the trunk. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class are 3606mm, 1719mm, and 1575mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2593mm. Powertrain: Both the domestically produced Mercedes-Benz A-Class and B-Class models use this 1.3T engine, which was jointly developed with Renault-Nissan. The domestically produced Mercedes-Benz A-Class is equipped with three engines: a low-power 1.3-liter turbocharged engine, a high-power 1.3-liter turbocharged engine, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving for over 30 years, and the spare tire of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class is usually hidden under the floor of the trunk. Lift up the trunk mat or carpet, and you'll find a dedicated compartment where the compact space-saver spare tire is tucked away—it's designed to be narrow and lightweight to save space. The accompanying toolkit, including the jack, wrench, and locking hook, is also placed in the same spot for easy one-click access. Don’t rely on the spare tire for too long, and remember to keep the speed limit around 80 km/h when driving with it, or you might damage the car. In case of a flat tire, I always remind myself to find a flat and safe spot to park, turn on the hazard lights before getting to work—this habit has saved me a lot of trouble. For maintenance, checking the spare tire pressure monthly to ensure it’s around 2.4 bar helps avoid last-minute surprises during emergencies.
