The Mercedes-Benz A-Class is the smallest and cheapest car built by the German manufacturer, and is one of the more popular luxury small hatches on the market.
Mercedes has been building the A-Class since the late ‘90s, and this fourth-generation version was launched in 2018. In 2013 Mercedes-AMG built the high-performance ‘45’ version of the A-Class, which proved incredibly popular. Now, the range has been extended to also include a more affordable performance version, that wears a ‘35’ badge.
The cheapest Mercedes-Benz A-Class costs around $45,000, while the top of the line AMG version can cost more than $90,000. Sitting in the middle of the range is the 250, which costs a touch over $50,000.
Key rivals to the Mercedes-Benz A-Class include the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3.
