W177 801+051MY A250 Hatchback 5dr DCT 7sp 4MATIC 2.0T As the entry point to Mercedes-Benz, the A-Class covers a broad spectrum of sedans and hatchbacks, from the 100kW/200Nm front-drive A180 and mild-hybrid 1.3-litres to various 2.0-litres including the booming AWD A45 S AMG with 310kW/500Nm of turbo power at its disposal. No relation whatsoever to the original, upright A-Class that appeared in 1998, the current vehicle looks a scaled-down version of bigger Benz models. Based on a space-efficient front-drive platform, the A-Class does well in providing for passengers and their luggage and drives with the poise and comfort that are hallmarks of the brand. Safety, quality, comfort and equipment levels are all up to expected Benz standards.
