Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan

Inside, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan is equipped with a premium-looking minimalist cabin design which is similar to the C-Class’. This sedan comes with cutting-edge technological features such as a 10.25-inch high resolution touchscreen  MBUX multimedia system as its hi-tech infotainment central display. This offers Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, mobile phone connectivity, USB package plus, and voice control. Exclusive to the driver is a 7-inch customizable digital instrument display, which offers an engaging and personalized way of monitoring your current driving condition. 

This sedan’s interior balances comfortable functionality and sophistication. Its cabin design has a dark carbon-fibre trim with velour floor mats as well as door sill panels with the ‘Mercedes-Benz’ lettering. It has blacked-out air vents with a matte silver outer ring. Aside from these, the driver is given a leather-wrapped multifunction sports steering wheel and an electrically-adjustable seat with memory function. Meanwhile, all passengers can enjoy the vehicle’s thermatic automatic climate control. Overall it has ARTICO man-made leather seats that are well-padded and designed for elevated comfort. 

However, the rear space is a little bit cramped. Consequently, it will be challenging to effectively and conveniently accommodate three tall and full-sized adult passengers on the second row.

The appearance of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan proves that there is beauty in simplicity. Considering it’s the cheapest and simplest-looking Benz, you’ll be surprised (or delighted) to hear that its ‘progressive exterior design’ is actually inspired by the more expensive and sportier AMG Line. 

At the front, it sports a pair of LED high performance headlamps and a bonnet with powerdomes, giving it the brand’s iconic timeless look. It also features the brand’s signature radiator grille with a high-gloss black Mercedes-Benz pattern and the beautiful Mercedes star as its eye-catching centerpiece. Its single louvre is given a chrome inlay, which further enhances its simple but elegant demeanor on the road. 

Its outside silhouette is predominantly chrome as well. It has chrome trims for its front apron, exhaust tailpipes, and its beltline plus window line. At the back, its rear apron’s lower section has a high-gloss black coating, which also gives this car a hint of sportiness. On the sides, this is given sill panels that match the car’s sleek paint and a set of 18-inch 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels. 

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan is 4,558 mm in length, 1,796 mm in width, 1,446 mm in height. It has a 2,729 mm wheelbase similar to its Hatchback counterpart.

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan is equipped with the brand’s comfort suspension system that is engineered to give you a relaxing driving experience. Because of this suspension system, you can smoothly steer your vehicle without the worry of having motion sickness since it can effectively absorb road bumps. This car has good stability and composure even on unfriendly pavements. This would be a great vehicle for going to work or dropping off your kids at school. 

Similar to its hatchback counterpart, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan is powered by a 1.3L, four in-line petrol engine that produces a maximum power output of 163 hp and a maximum torque of 270 Nm. It runs on the brand’s 7G DCT (7-speed automatic transmission) and has a top speed of approximately 230 kmph. Like the C-Class, this sedan is not a high-performance vehicle, but it is great for daily city driving since it is fuel-efficient as well. Overall, it offers a smooth driving experience both on urban and rural concrete roads. 

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan is equipped with a long list of state-of-the-art safety features. This list includes acceleration skid regulation, hill-start assist, attention assist or driver drowsiness detection, pedestrian protection with active bonnet, tire pressure loss warning system, and the brand’s guard 360-degree vehicle protection system with anti-theft alarm, interior motion sensor, and tow-away protection. It also comes with many standard safety and security features to ensure that you and all your passengers are protected while inside the vehicle. 

In terms of braking, similar to other Mercedes-Benz vehicles, this has anti-lock and assistance systems as well as an electronic stability program for its active and electronic parking brakes. Another great feature of this vehicle is that its brake lights are adaptive.

For many Filipinos, buying the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan might still be unnecessary or excessive even. But, considering that it is the cheapest locally-available model, this sedan and its hatchback counterpart are the most practical and financially-reliable offerings of one of the most sought-after luxury automobile brands in the industry. Hence, if you are an economically-minded individual who desires to enter a world of luxury, then this car is a great way for you to.
