Mercedes makes the formerly staid A-class a real conqueror of sporting orientation. How goes the little Benz says AUTO BILD editor Axel Sülwald.
Now it's over with the convenience of the compact class! Mercedes has introduced the new A-class a true conqueror: modern and so casually, as one would have expected from Audi or BMW. AUTO BILD is the newcomer who comes onto the market in September, down. In the optic of tidy, Mercedes: The A-Class now has a long snout and a short, stubby tail. Pretty aggressive, this compact 4.29-meter wedge in golf format. Indoor sports dominated strait that is gripping from Integral leather seats (from style equipment) intensified. Also, the rear right space: The seating position is low, however, a narrow entrance and narrow boot cut are not really practical.
The engines:
guarantee fun both the 156-horsepower gasoline engine in the A 200 (€ 27 013), as well as the 136-hp diesel (€ 27 787) of the A 200 CDI. The gasoline engine is a little hungrier, more agile, the diesel combines smoothness with great endurance qualities. Shortcoming for both engines is the thin sound. On the track, the A-Class proves to be true chameleon: The Baby-Benz fits perfectly into its surroundings. Dynamic and aggressive, she scores at the strange angles, cozy and comfortable mastering the Stuttgart travel long distances. The optional sport chassis, customers can save themselves confidently, it is too unbalanced and comfort costs. When they look at the list price is clearly a genuine Mercedes pulls up here. Only at € 23 979 (122-horsepower gasoline engine) you go. Conclusion: So far, the A-Class is a decent car. Now she's a buffoon, albeit expensive.
