Thinking of getting a Mercedes-Benz A-Class?

Why buy the Mercedes-Benz A-Class?

If you want a mid-size hatchback or saloon that’s stylish, comfortable and full of tech, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class could be just what you’re looking for. On top of all that, the A-Class has a premium look and feel and you can choose from a wide range of engines and trim levels.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class range and updates

The current version of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class has been on sale in the UK since 2018 – the previous model was on sale new from 2012 to 2018. The current A-Class is available as a five-door hatchback or a four-door saloon; with petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid power; a manual or automatic gearbox and front- or four-wheel drive. There are lots of trim levels to choose from including the very popular AMG Line models. The older version is much the same though it’s only available as a hatchback and there’s no plug-in hybrid option.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class tech and features

In the current Mercedes-Benz A-Class, every model has a display screen that stretches across almost half of the dashboard. It looks sleek and modern and among the many features included as standard in the infotainment system are Apple CarPlay/Android Auto phone support and sat nav. You also get air con, heated front seats, cruise control and a reversing camera. Previous-generation A-Class models have similar features but they don’t look as premium or as high-tech inside.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class running costs and value

The latest Mercedes-Benz A-Class is available with a petrol or diesel engine or as a plug-in hybrid. According to official figures, petrol A-Class models can give average fuel economy of 30mpg to 47mpg and diesels can give 44mpg to 64mpg – about average for this type of car. Older versions post similar numbers. Being a premium-brand car, the A-Class costs more than similar cars made by the likes of Ford or Peugeot, but you may feel the A-Class’s quality and tech are worth it.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class vs rivals

There are two other premium mid-size hatchbacks you might want to consider – the Audi A3 and the BMW 1 Series. You may also want to check out similar cars such as the Mazda 3 and the Volkswagen Golf. The premium look and feel of the A-Class may be enough to swing your decision in its favour, but it’s also among the quietest and most comfortable cars of this type and its interior has a real ‘wow’ factor.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class common questions

How practical is the Mercedes-Benz A-Class?

There’s pretty generous leg, head and shoulder room in the front of the current Mercedes-Benz A-Class, with enough space for someone well over six feet tall to get comfortable. In the back, there’s sufficient space for a couple of average-size adults to sit behind someone of similar height.

The A-Class hatchback has 370 litres of boot space, which is a touch less than in most other mid-size hatchbacks but still enough room for half a dozen large ‘bags for life’ or a couple of big suitcases. The A-Class saloon has a slightly bigger boot with 405 litres of space, but the smaller opening makes it harder to load in big things. Note that plug-in hybrid models lose some boot space to their batteries.

Older versions of the A-Class aren’t quite as spacious or as practical. Boot space is similar but back-seat space is quite tight and the small rear-door openings aren’t especially family-friendly.
