The Mercedes-Benz A-Class is the most affordable new car in the German brand’s range. It is also one of the most popular premium hatchbacks in the UK, regularly appearing in the top 10 best-sellers chart.
The Mercedes A-Class is a strong seller because it’s such a well-rounded car. It looks good for starters, with plenty of upmarket Mercedes-Benz touches both outside and in. It is smooth and sophisticated to drive, and its gadget-packed interior features a cutting-edge infotainment system called ‘MBUX’.
You can also choose high-performance Mercedes-AMG hot hatches, with the Mercedes A 45 S delivering the speed and agility to run rings around most sports cars. Mind you, most of the everyday Mercedes A-Class grades feature AMG-themed styling features, for some car-park kudos without the associated costs.
Rivals to the Mercedes A-Class include the Audi A3, the ever popular BMW 1 Series and the Volkswagen Golf.
Here, we’ll guide you through the entire new Mercedes-Benz A-Class range. Take a look at a Mercedes A-Class for sale on heycar to discover just what’s on offer.
Thousands of Mercedes-Benz buyers a year can’t be wrong. And they’re not, because the latest Mercedes A-Class is a top-notch product. Its design is admirable, with a high-quality appearance that makes it clear you’re buying or leasing a premium car.
It is impactful inside, too. The interior has a modern appearance with lots of metal-effect trim and cool display screens. Even the entry-level models have a digital instrument display to complement the 10.25-inch centre screen. Move up the model range and the display ahead of the driver grows larger, while Mercedes-AMG models have custom AMG displays and graphics.
The MBUX infotainment system is considered by many to be one of the best in the business. It’s straightforward to use, the customisable tile-based display is clear, and the ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice commands are surprisingly effective. You can even option-up ingenious augmented reality sat-nav, which overlays route directions on a 3D front camera display.
This version isn’t as roomy as the original MPV-style Mercedes A-Class, but it’s still not bad for growing families. Five-door practicality is convenient and the boot is a good size (although it does shrink to a supermini-sized load space in the plug-in hybrid version). In terms of driver comfort, it’s first-class, with a brilliantly supportive driver’s seat and high-quality controls.
All the engines are strong. The 1.3-litre turbo petrol sounds small but punches above its weight. It’s quiet and refined, while good fuel economy makes it cheap to run. The diesels are even better, with outstanding economy when cruising at high speed, while the plug-in hybrid delivers a strong pure electric range and a smart combination of pacy performance and OK consumption when the batteries are flat.
As for the Mercedes-AMG models, if you’re looking to buy or lease a new car with performance, ability and head-turning style by the bucketload, look no further.
The latest Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a really well-rounded, high-quality car. It has a visual appeal that the driving experience only accentuates – particularly in the thrilling Mercedes-AMG performance versions. And if you don’t want performance-car running costs, an AMG Line version with an economical petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid drivetrain is the perfect alternative.
It’s possible to personalise your Mercedes A-Class in countless ways, while all versions come well-equipped straight from the factory. It exudes Mercedes-Benz quality, and the brand allure results in impressive retained values, making it a surprisingly cost-effective car to buy or lease. With the Mercedes A-Class, you really can shop with confidence.

It's difficult to recommend a diesel in 2023, while the plug-in hybrid's high list price makes it equally hard to justify for a lot of buyers. That makes the petrol models most deserving of 'best buy' status - and the extra power of the Mercedes A200 makes it a compelling choice over the entry-level A180.
In terms of trim level, you needn't spend strong money on one of the top-spec models. Buy a 2023 or later car and even the entry-level Sport Executive has everything you need. On older models, the SE is relatively well equipped, although some will miss Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class is available in a range of trims, most of which carry AMG influences. Every model has an automatic gearbox as standard, while sat-nav is also included across the board.
Here, we’re concentrating on the five-door hatchback Mercedes A-Class, but you can also choose a four-door saloon – and the core engines and trim grades are broadly the same.
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class’s exterior dimensions are:
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class’s boot size is:
To avoid being stung with a hefty annual bill, it's worth checking if the A-Class you're considering had a list price of more than £40,000 when new. High-spec models do edge over this threshold, meaning owners are liable for the 'premium car tax' - an additional £390 a year for five years from the second time the car is taxed.
Otherwise, the regular VED bill for the Mercedes A-Class is £180, or £170 for those with some form of electrification (including mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid models). That's the same as rivals - if you're looking for free road tax, you'll need to buy a pure-electric alternative like the Volkswagen ID.3 (and even that will be taxed within the next few years).
Mercedes-Benz A-Class insurance groups start from 18 for the A 180 d, and group 20 for the A 180 petrol. They reflect its more premium status compared to ‘mainstream’ family hatchbacks. The A 250 e may be a fuel-saver, but it’s also powerful and rapid, so insurance starts from group 30. The A 35 4Matic is from group 36 and the A 45 S 4Matic+ falls into group 41. That actually isn’t so bad, given its incredible performance.
