Mercedes-Benz A-Class
The entry-level model at Mercedes-Benz, the A-Class is offered in sedan and five-door hatchback body styles. The base 188-horsepower engine is reserved for the more-affordable sedan, while the hatchback is blessed with a sportier drive. And let’s not forget the upcoming AMG versions with their 302-horsepower engine. Despite its price and position in the brand’s model lineup, the A-Class benefits nonetheless from Mercedes’ new MBUX infotainment system.
