Discover the benefits of a Mercedes-Benz A-Class below.
Engines and Driving Experience
Available with a versatile range of powertrains, the A-Class offers petrol and diesel engines, as well as a plug-in hybrid option. The entry-level 1.3-litre engine delivers a strong 134bhp, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 62mph in just 8.8 seconds.
The plug-in hybrid version also features a 1.3-litre engine but produces stronger 161bhp, reducing the 0 to 62mph acceleration time to 8 seconds. Additionally, there are two 2.0-litre engine options, one petrol and one diesel. Both deliver 187bhp, with very similar acceleration times, the petrol model reaches 62mph in 6.9 seconds, while the diesel does so in 7 seconds.
Finally, if you want even more power, you can opt for the A-Class performance model, the AMG A45 S. It’s equipped with a 2.0-litre engine that produces an impressive 415bhp and accelerates to 62mph in just 3.9 seconds from resting.
Practicality and Running Costs
Ideal for young families, the A-Class offers a spacious interior that comfortably seats up to five people. The rear seats provide ample legroom and headroom for most passengers, though those over six feet tall may find the space just adequate.
Perfect for transport young children, the A-Class features ISOFIX mounting points on both outer rear seats. The wide-opening rear doors make it easier to lift children in and out, especially when using child seats.
When it comes to storage, the A-Class provides a spacious boot with plenty of room for daily essentials and the occasional larger item. Exact capacity depends on the model, but boot space ranges from 1,125 to 1,200 litres.
Running costs are relatively affordable, especially for a vehicle in the luxury segment. Depending on the model’s age and mileage, the A-Class falls into insurance groups 14 to 37 out of 50. Exact premiums will vary based on your chosen provider and personal circumstances.
Interior, Technology and Safety
Built with high-quality materials, the A-Class interior offers a modern, minimalist feel with clean lines and smooth surfaces, featuring very few analogue buttons in sight. Designed for comfort, the seats include height adjustment and lumbar support, while strategically placed cubbies and door bins enhance practicality throughout the cabin.
Equipped with advanced onboard technology, the A-Class features the MBUX infotainment system, Mercedes-Benz’s native software designed to be intuitive and customisable. It’s controlled via touchscreen display, which in the latest models measures 10.25 inches.
Safety is a top priority for Mercedes-Benz, and the A-Class reflects this with an impressive safety package that includes features such as:
- Adaptive Brake Assist
- Hill-Start Assist
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
- Adaptive High-Beam Assist
Is the Mercedes-Benz A-Class right for me?
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class is an excellent choice for those seeking a stylish vehicle that delivers a luxurious feel without sacrificing comfort and everyday practicality.
If you’re looking for an alternative to the A-Class with a bit more space, the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3 are strong contenders. For more budget-friendly options, the Peugeot 308 and Mazda3 deliver impressive style and a solid range of standard features.
Either way, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class remains a strong contender for anyone seeking an entry-level luxury car that combines sharp handling with stylish, high-quality design.
