Mercedes A-Class Prices and Specifications

Even the most basic A-Class comes with alloy wheels, two 7.0-inch digital displays, air-conditioning, cruise control and DAB radio. The seats have part-leather upholstery, the safety systems include Active Lane Keeping Assist and Attention Assist, and you can start the car without having to turn a key.

There are some welcome extra features on Sport over the basic SE, including larger alloy wheels and LED headlights. The trim in the cabin has a carbon fibre look, while the steering wheel has extra chrome trim and dual-zone climate control replaces the simpler air-conditioning. All that is on top of two 7.0-inch digital displays, cruise control, DAB radio and lots of safety systems.

Go for the top AMG Line trim and your A-Class will come with a sporty AMG bodykit, a chrome-trimmed single-louvre grille and 18-inch alloy wheels. Inside, meanwhile, the part-leather seats have contrasting red stitching, and the flat-bottomed steering wheel is trimmed in soft nappa leather. All that is on top of two 7.0-inch digital displays, cruise control, DAB radio and lots of safety systems.
