Satisfy the Mercedes A-Class!
The entry-level vehicles to the whole Mercedes range has actually had a mid-life upgrade, and Mat's about to find out if it has what it needs to compete with competitors like Audi A3, BMW 1 Series & Volkswagen Golf.
Starting with the style, you can see it looks quite damn comparable to the last A-Class. Starting around the back, there are some somewhat revamped taillights, a phony diffuser, and an updated bumper. Around the side it's almost similar, although the AMG-Line edition we have here comes with some slightly prolonged side skirts. Then around the front there's an updated, bigger bumper, some new headlights (LED as basic no less!) and there's a bigger bumper. The AMG Line cut also looks a little more aggressive than the entry-level cars and truck.
Step inside, and there's one huge update – the A-Class now features a gorgeous infotainment and digital dial dual-screen! It stretches throughout the dash and looks spectacular. Mercedes has also eliminated the touch pad that was used to control the infotainment system, although there are still bothersome touch delicate buttons on the guiding wheel. Usually the cabin is reasonably well made, although appearance a bit closer and you'll find a reasonable couple of littles scratching plastic.
When it comes to engine options, you have a choice in between two fuels, and one diesel. The diesel is a 2-litre with 150hp, while both fuels are 1.3-litre turbos, one with 150hp, and one with 177hp. All cars and trucks are readily available as front-wheel drive, and they all come with automated transmissions.
The brand-new Mercedes A-Class begins with ₤ 32,000, but is it actually worth it? And is it much better than hatchback rivals like the BMW 1 Series? You'll need to stick to Mat and see for yourself!
