Car looks excellent in that matte grey/yellow accents. I love the new look dash and cabin. It's simple, focused and very luxuriously pleasing on the eyes, definitely a cut above the competition. Was very impressed with voice command/activation system and Burmester audio. Fantastic review Thomas.
For the last four years, I have been driving a 1.6 diesel 2011 Peugeot 3008 which has been problematic Prior to this, I had a Peugeot 206 and it was trouble free. I always liked Mercedes and seeing this A class just makes me want to return to a compact size car again. Thank you for your excellent review as always, Thomas :)
Im big fan of Thomas reviews n autogefuhl. Really i appreciate what u doing guys n the way u detailed everything. I just wondering why this channel doesn't hit 5 or 6 easily . keep up the good work
Herrlich mit dem Wetter in Kroatien ! Ich liebe die Gegend dort. Euer Review ist einfach das beste und ich habe von den anderen Influencer deren Reviews gesehen. Nur, die anderen waren schneller! ;-p Von Mikro- & Videoqualität sind Eure Videos beeindruckend. Ihr verdient Euch eigentlich mehr Abonenten.
The outside is ok ,but the interior is where it's at .Super new interior! Great job done by Mercedes engineers in the interior! Overall a great base car by Mercedes.Great video Thomas ,keep it up!
djchristian82 I wasn't referring to where the details came from. The A-class is in a sub compact category. In that category it is no doubt premium! and is not being compared to any larger Mercedes, it is getting compared to cars of its size and class.Simply you get what you pay for
Great review as always! Impressive how you can tell the car to open the sunroof. It would be great for OCD people like me if you could tell the car to open both front windows 10%, etc.
Some more remarks and details: - 1st driving round with the A250 and 30°C and AC on and some more varying landscape we scored 9 l / 100 km as we have shown, in a 2nd round we tried with 20°C and AC off and more steady driving/cruise control and scored 6,5 l / 100 km. Seems the AC has a big effect here. So we calculate with something around 8 l / 100 km as a daily average consumption. - if you want to see the inductive charging platform, here it is: www.autogefuehl.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/InduktiveLadeschale_MercedesAKlasse.jpg - that's how the "Augmented Reality" in the GPS looks like: www.autogefuehl.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/MercedesAKlasse_AugmentedRealityNavi.jpg It is a neat feature, displays directions and also house numbers, but on the camera screen. So it is not really Augmented Reality, since this would display something in reality and not on a artificial screen. It is helpful for the co-driver, but not for the driver as it distracts you while driving and you cannot see it that fast. Maybe for very slow speeds. - The blind spot monitor function also works when standing still, e.g. a bicycle is approaching and you want to get out of the car, you the the visual and acoustic warning when you are about to open the door, awesome feature! - We drove a small round in the A200 later, that one will probably be about 1,5 l / 100 km consumption less than the A250, also offers COD (cylinder on demand) in combination with the optional automatic gearbox. Power is totally sufficient, on the motorway you feel that the A250 is more "explosive" of course. - The comfort seats (in contrast to the sports seats) are not that much different, actually they even felt a little smaller/more narrow than the sports seats. Looking forward to test the base fabric seat variant at a later stage, maybe that base seat will even offer the best comfort since the seat concept will be more "open". However the base seat will not have the manual seat surface extension option like the sports and comfort seats have.

Definitely my favourite Mercedes. Really cool car with great tech. I like the yellow accents too. It’s cool to see anything that really stands out. But yeah, this is just the warmup for the EQA. That’s going to be really special I think. And something that Tesla are unlikely to get to any time soon if at all. A premium compact EV. And the voice control is really impressive. So much safer and more convenient than touch screens or buttons. In the car is probably the most important place to have voice control. I can imagine everyone using it when it’s that good.
My favorite (and dream to have) car of 2018 reviewed by the best presenter. Just amazing! Awesome job Thomas! Keep up the incredible work! Leeetsss gooo!
It's actually nice that you can talk with your car, it can be helpful during a long journey when you drive alone :D I have mixed feelings about the big screen on the dashboard, but the whole interior and exterior looks pretty good.
Fantastic review Thomas and lovely colourful background. Your dresses for hot weather and look relaxed. This is a beautiful car with a classic interior. Love the new digital screens. So much nicer than the c Klass screens. Best wishes. Gary - Australia
Great review. Been driving an A-Class for 4 years now it'll go back this June. While the new A-Class seems to be a giant upgrade it also went up in price which for the class makes it quite a bit undesirable, the entry price is almost as high as for the C-Class which IMHO would be an overall better choice. I have to admit the cup holders in the rear middle seat are a funny idea :P
What I love about the A class is how the Collaboration with Renault make the engines very efficient and reliable when compared to other German cars within the segment. Also, the style is excellent. Futhermore, the comfort is much greater than with an Audi or a BMW. Mercedes are certainly on another level to Audi and BMW.
Nice car in a nice country! I'm waiting for a car trip to Croatia in few month, sadly not with this car :-) It hears really silent, I appreciate that, this gives you so much comfort on long journeys. I don't like to speak with things, but I think I would with this car :-)
Just another excellent, thorough review, Thomas!! And the car shown in different colours as well (another classic in your Merc reviews now!), Lovely car, great setup...just waiting for the different AMG models to come up.
Another great review Thomas. I have never really considered Mercedes when buying a new car, they always seemed a bit "old manish" to me, (I am only 70 after all) This car, however, has really blown me away. I am just so impressed with the level of standard equipment in even the base model. I know it is fairly expensive, but spec the same level of equipment in a Golf and the prices would be quite similar. The "Hey Mercedes" feature is absolutely awesome and I would buy the car just for that alone! But the whole dashboard layout with the two screens is way beyond any other car I have ever seen. I have a very strong feeling that this will be my next car, probably finished in white. Thanks Thomas, keep up the good work.
Brilliant review Thomas and beautiful scenery. Looks a fabulous car, so classy inside and very well built. I have configured one on the Mercedes website but a minimum cost with some extra equipment, in the UK is £30,000. A bit outside my budget unfortunately.
Mercedes had a night out with Mazda 3. I own a 2009 C class estate and I do love newer models but Im also a big fan of Mazda and in general, japanese brands. You cant deny how much this ressembles the Mazda 3 on the exterior. Still a a very appealing car to the young generation.
Very good review Thomas, as always. It seems this is the best car in class now, but I would like it if you reviewed a model with the simpler rear suspension, smaller engine and smaller dashboard screens when one becomes available for test.
Just watched the brand new 1 series review and...this Aclass is still the 👑 of this segment...so way ahead of competition...Sclass steering wheel and the 2x screens omg it looks like from the future...the mpg is bad but its a heavy car and to be honest you can see that you really pushed at some points right? I am sure at 120-130kmh you will get 6-7l which is just right... I hope i can buy this car at 5 years old in this colour because it will still look amazing.
Thank you Thomas for very depth + good presentation... very good A class from Mercedes.... but the tail light... it reminds me of my younger brother toyota caldina tail light...
Hello Thomas I need your help !! I've been watching your reviews for like 2 years now and I finally have the opportunity to get a car (used A class). Problem is that I've only found A180d so far no A200(d or petrol). I only drive in town most of the time still I'm afraid of the lack of power with the A180d. What are your thoughts on the A180d vs A200d ? Can the A180d be enough for city driving accelerations ? Thanks a lot and keep up the good work there !
Top looks and technical stuff...Mercedes killed it with this one...its expensive but you get all the tech stuff from much bigger cars so i think as 2nd hand car with 3 years old this would be a top banana😎
I guess you don't know that this A250 AMG line version costs more than 60000 euros, and it's not even a full AMG, it's just a FWD 2.0 4 cylinder with some fancy AMG looking equipment. It's more expensive than the C class lol.
Depends on the country I guess. I live in Sweden and here, if I choose a 250 and add stuff like AMG Exclusive and Premimum Plus package it costs around 40 000 euro. MB's packages is a real mess but I just added AMG and Exclusive to make a car that wasn't naked. Now - 40 grand for a A class is not cheap in any way - but with the new interior it's not as horrible as before. Now it's fancier inside than a A3 or 1-series. Looks a bit vulgar in my mind but still - not as cheap as the old A class compared to it's rivals.
The price went up quite a bit, previously an A 180 was 28k starting price now we're already at over 30k for the starting car. I drove my 2014 A Class as a company car for 4 years now and while I love it through and through for a compact car I went with a cheaper one now that I give up the company driving. It really is rather expensive :/
28k for the old one was just stupid though :P The newer one at least appears to be a premium product. Are you missing anything from the Merc in your new cheaper car?
Not much, the cheaper manufacturers have a tendancy to keep up after a couple of years (my old one was a 2014 A Class). However there are a couple of differences that you don't notice at first. For example you can abuse the breaks in a Mercedes without them having to be replaced too quickly. Cheaper manufacturers have a weak spot there. Also things like rusting exhaust pipes are almost no issue on Mercedes cars, pretty much all the things you wont see in a car review because it's about durability. Otherwise assistance systems, overall comfort etc. are on par (let alone the cheaper one has more hard plastic and less soft touch material but that never was an issue to me). Another thing Mercedes always gets perfectly right are the seats, Mercedes seats are so good I'd love to have one as an office chair, even the box standard ones are just that good :P On the other hand my A-Class had issues I'd never expected like after one year my cludge pedal started squeaking because apparently there was a rubber part inside the pedal that was faulty or after 2 years the filler cap broke (as a company car I didn't have to pay for it but replacing the filler cap would have cost me 600 bucks since the whole internal mechanism just broke). P.S.: mine did cost 33k in the end but if I'd want to have all the same goodies I'm now more in the direction of 36k on the A-Class and you could really get a C-Class T-Modell for that already o_o
Thomas, I drove the new E Class for about 2K km and the navigation system crashed twice while driving (and it takes ages to reboot) and the emergency braking and belt fastening systems operated numerous times for simply no reason (even when no car was around). - I find it hard to believe that you never encountered such incidents (Mercedes or not Mercedes) as I don't recall you commenting about such incidents. Such incidents are extremely important for prospect buyers of cars as it can be very annoying (at best) and extremely dangerous (I once had the automatic brake system braking really hard for no reason while driving in a tunnel with a truck on my tail!).
I agree.and strange what happened with your E class experience. The only thing I encountered here was that the camera was not working once, you had to reboot the engine for that
Beautiful car but here in Canada 4Matic is a MUST when you live here on Vancouver Island with lots of rain. Orange or red would go better with that colour.
I have a late 2019 A Class AMG line and I am disappointed by Traffic Assist, with respect to speed signs. The system often gets it wrong or just doesn't give a speed limit indication.
Dear Thomas, as you may know the paddles are off side more to the left they are not in middle of floor , therefore when I drive a medium journey I feel pain in my food as I have to lean my lower food more toward left , and change the pattern of my sitting ..
Can anyone tell me whether Executive pack has this 10.25 inch instrument cluster? or it's only available from Premium pack? If I go without Premium pack, it will be 2 separated screen (one for dashboard and one for media and GPS)?
Is this the Premium Plus with the panoramic sunroof am assuming so? I love your reviews but do wish you'd mention what specs/options are in the car you're testing.
i'm so curious how the A35 and A45 amg's will be like and at what price tags. Would love to do a test drive in a full option A-class just to see how everything works while driving. Cause yeah you can go through the mbux in the dealership. But how well the safety features work, how much the camera's help, how the automatic gearbox reacts in different modes and how the suspension feels when it's an adaptive one etc. Unfortunately I only see the more basic versions in my area at dealerships. If there is a difference between them, if there are multiple in the showroom, it's that one has the amg-line package and the other doesn't.
Same old story with Mercedes, with every new model the wheelbase increases, the overall length increases but the knee room in the rear remains basically the same. Where does the room go ? Same happened with the C,E, and CLS Class ...
►Mercedes-AMG A35 Driving Review: ua-cam.com/video/CHPek-l8k4Q/v-deo.html
Been waiting for this, the definitive review of the new A class!
Car looks excellent in that matte grey/yellow accents. I love the new look dash and cabin. It's simple, focused and very luxuriously pleasing on the eyes, definitely a cut above the competition. Was very impressed with voice command/activation system and Burmester audio. Fantastic review Thomas.
Was actually wondering are you coming over to Dalmatia to do a proper A Class review...and there we have it, excellent as usual. Thanks!
Thomas is the David Attenborough of cars
😎✌️
Once again, great review Thomas! 👍
Best car review channel hands down. So informative and detailed. Love the new design direction mercedes is going with. This A class looks sharp.
thanks keep recommending us!
Thank you Thomas and Autogefühl Teams, once again, great review.
Always love the reviews from Thomas. Lovely car.
Great review and lovely part of the world you're in.
This is my Saturday night video saved it for me pizza happy days . keep up good work
can you do a uk special one day?????
What u mean? :)
come to the Goodwood festival of speed do a weekend live show come on now thats a good idea .
the tech in this car is unreal and it's just a compact car! imagine what the next gen s class tech is like!
For the last four years, I have been driving a 1.6 diesel 2011 Peugeot 3008 which has been problematic Prior to this, I had a Peugeot 206 and it was trouble free. I always liked Mercedes and seeing this A class just makes me want to return to a compact size car again. Thank you for your excellent review as always, Thomas :)
thanks! Keep tuning in :)
Im big fan of Thomas reviews n autogefuhl. Really i appreciate what u doing guys n the way u detailed everything. I just wondering why this channel doesn't hit 5 or 6 easily . keep up the good work
We have no big budget company background - so we need ur support to spread the word :)
Lol im already spreading n helping u out to prosper this channel its my pleasure . too bad im so far but I'll do my best .
Cheers 🍻
I love that interior. The sweeping main screen looks great! Awesome review Thomas!
Wow lovely view at the end. Looking forward to the A45 AMG review in future :)
Herrlich mit dem Wetter in Kroatien ! Ich liebe die Gegend dort.
Euer Review ist einfach das beste und ich habe von den anderen Influencer deren Reviews gesehen. Nur, die anderen waren schneller! ;-p
Von Mikro- & Videoqualität sind Eure Videos beeindruckend. Ihr verdient Euch eigentlich mehr Abonenten.
Vielen Dank, empfehle uns gerne weiter
I just finished watching the Insignia GSI review and now you uploaded time for round 2 of fun :)
The outside is ok ,but the interior is where it's at .Super new interior! Great job done by Mercedes engineers in the interior!
Overall a great base car by Mercedes.Great video Thomas ,keep it up!
thanks keep following !
That voice command...wow...that’s why Mercedes is Mercedes...impressive!
My favorite auto critic at it again! Thanks Thomas. Ya what a difference premium segments make on detail and quality.
Thx so much!
djchristian82 I wasn't referring to where the details came from. The A-class is in a sub compact category. In that category it is no doubt premium! and is not being compared to any larger Mercedes, it is getting compared to cars of its size and class.Simply you get what you pay for
Great review as always! Impressive how you can tell the car to open the sunroof. It would be great for OCD people like me if you could tell the car to open both front windows 10%, etc.
the best channel by far (in my opinion)...
thank you 4 this review
Thank you feel free to recommend!
A stunning car I bought one this Week in the UK and imported it to Ireland I saved 7000 Euros, You are brilliant at your job a real car lover......
Some more remarks and details:
- 1st driving round with the A250 and 30°C and AC on and some more varying landscape we scored 9 l / 100 km as we have shown, in a 2nd round we tried with 20°C and AC off and more steady driving/cruise control and scored 6,5 l / 100 km.

- if you want to see the inductive charging platform, here it is: www.autogefuehl.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/InduktiveLadeschale_MercedesAKlasse.jpg
- that's how the "Augmented Reality" in the GPS looks like: www.autogefuehl.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/MercedesAKlasse_AugmentedRealityNavi.jpg
It is a neat feature, displays directions and also house numbers, but on the camera screen. So it is not really Augmented Reality, since this would display something in reality and not on a artificial screen. It is helpful for the co-driver, but not for the driver as it distracts you while driving and you cannot see it that fast. Maybe for very slow speeds.

Thank you Autogefuhl! Such a great review.
Great review Thomas & its nice to seen Croatian coast:)
price,please?
Is the new A Class coming to the US? Autogefuhl is by far the best car review channel on UA-cam. Keep up the great work Thomas and Team!!!
Thx pal! As far as I know, not as hatch, but as sedan later
Detailed as always, great review Thomas! Too bad I'm in the US and we won't get this amazing edition 1 hatchback :(
Thanks a lot for this nice review!
It was the entertainment system that sold it for me, its amazing, hope many other manufacturers will add this kind of system
Definitely my favourite Mercedes. Really cool car with great tech. I like the yellow accents too. It’s cool to see anything that really stands out. But yeah, this is just the warmup for the EQA. That’s going to be really special I think. And something that Tesla are unlikely to get to any time soon if at all. A premium compact EV.
And the voice control is really impressive. So much safer and more convenient than touch screens or buttons. In the car is probably the most important place to have voice control. I can imagine everyone using it when it’s that good.
My favorite (and dream to have) car of 2018 reviewed by the best presenter. Just amazing!
Awesome job Thomas! Keep up the incredible work! Leeetsss gooo!
Way to go 👌
Great review from Thomas! I'm surprised in how smooth the infotainment seems to be, very nice.
Cheers!
It's actually nice that you can talk with your car, it can be helpful during a long journey when you drive alone :D
I have mixed feelings about the big screen on the dashboard, but the whole interior and exterior looks pretty good.
Fantastic review Thomas and lovely colourful background. Your dresses for hot weather and look relaxed. This is a beautiful car with a classic interior. Love the new digital screens. So much nicer than the c Klass screens.
Best wishes.
Gary - Australia
Always great to read from you Gary
I'm so happy Mercedes is implementing these screens in their entire range now.
welcome to Croatia, nice review
👍
Great review. Been driving an A-Class for 4 years now it'll go back this June. While the new A-Class seems to be a giant upgrade it also went up in price which for the class makes it quite a bit undesirable, the entry price is almost as high as for the C-Class which IMHO would be an overall better choice.
I have to admit the cup holders in the rear middle seat are a funny idea :P
Your long reviews are great keep it up
will do with your support :)
Thomas, welcome to Croatia 🇭🇷:)
So incredible beautiful!
fabulous review Thomas! Thank you and keep rocking!
Lovely review as always Thomas! Love the interior on the new A class, big step up!
👌
What I love about the A class is how the Collaboration with Renault make the engines very efficient and reliable when compared to other German cars within the segment. Also, the style is excellent. Futhermore, the comfort is much greater than with an Audi or a BMW. Mercedes are certainly on another level to Audi and BMW.
Nice car in a nice country! I'm waiting for a car trip to Croatia in few month, sadly not with this car :-) It hears really silent, I appreciate that, this gives you so much comfort on long journeys.
I don't like to speak with things, but I think I would with this car :-)
Thanks Thomas and team for nice review. I hope AMG versions will be not so shaky as previous generation
Another great review Thomas. You are by far the best reviewer on UA-cam 👍🏻🏴
thx so much =)
Nice review. Big improvement on an already good A Class. Interesting to see how BMW and Audi respond. Croatia looks worth a visit.
cheers!
Just another excellent, thorough review, Thomas!! And the car shown in different colours as well (another classic in your Merc reviews now!), Lovely car, great setup...just waiting for the different AMG models to come up.
Thx Will keep you updated!
I love that grey color and yellow-ish line on the bumper & rims. Mercedes-Benz has successfully made their new hot hatch

Very high spec car! Collecting my black AMG line next week! 😁😍
Many thanks for a great Review Thomas and Team.
thx Gordon!
8:13 That stunning Airbus A320 sound!!!
Great review Thomas. When can we expect the review of the new A250e Plug-in Hybrid?
Lets see!
Brilliant review Thomas and beautiful scenery. Looks a fabulous car, so classy inside and very well built. I have configured one on the Mercedes website but a minimum cost with some extra equipment, in the UK is £30,000. A bit outside my budget unfortunately.
Thx! Indeed
What a presentation Thomas!! Excellent camera work. Waiting for VW Toureg review.
Thx! Coming very soon
Mercedes had a night out with Mazda 3. I own a 2009 C class estate and I do love newer models but Im also a big fan of Mazda and in general, japanese brands. You cant deny how much this ressembles the Mazda 3 on the exterior. Still a a very appealing car to the young generation.
Love your reviews!Keep it Up!👌🏻👍🏻😊
I really like it. Can't wait to see the AMG.
Love the review Thomas
Ahhh, a great car and beautiful Croatia. 😊 What more do you want 👍😉
Good job Thomas!
Very good review Thomas, as always. It seems this is the best car in class now, but I would like it if you reviewed a model with the simpler rear suspension, smaller engine and smaller dashboard screens when one becomes available for test.
We will try that at a later stage
I have mercedes a class 2019 A200 and if I speak about consumption, it's 5,8 per 100 km and sometimes 6 liter for 100km.
Just watched the brand new 1 series review and...this Aclass is still the 👑 of this segment...so way ahead of competition...Sclass steering wheel and the 2x screens omg it looks like from the future...the mpg is bad but its a heavy car and to be honest you can see that you really pushed at some points right? I am sure at 120-130kmh you will get 6-7l which is just right...
I hope i can buy this car at 5 years old in this colour because it will still look amazing.
I bought an A200 AMG line yesterday after watching your review
enjoy =)
Thank you Thomas for very depth + good presentation... very good A class from Mercedes.... but the tail light... it reminds me of my younger brother toyota caldina tail light...
Thx!
Very short beautiful review...
34:20 Serenity now! :)
Hello Thomas I need your help !!
I've been watching your reviews for like 2 years now and I finally have the opportunity to get a car (used A class).
Problem is that I've only found A180d so far no A200(d or petrol). I only drive in town most of the time still I'm afraid of the lack of power with the A180d. What are your thoughts on the A180d vs A200d ? Can the A180d be enough for city driving accelerations ?
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work there !
Top looks and technical stuff...Mercedes killed it with this one...its expensive but you get all the tech stuff from much bigger cars so i think as 2nd hand car with 3 years old this would be a top banana😎
The A finaly seems to live up to the price tag. The old one was a joke in that way :P
I guess you don't know that this A250 AMG line version costs more than 60000 euros, and it's not even a full AMG, it's just a FWD 2.0 4 cylinder with some fancy AMG looking equipment. It's more expensive than the C class lol.

yeaa i wait for you !! great review
👌
what is your opinion on the subject half-heartedly???
Sorry what?
front system semi-rigid what you think about that in a200 and a180d?
A200 drove good as well..
Thomas, I drove the new E Class for about 2K km and the navigation system crashed twice while driving (and it takes ages to reboot) and the emergency braking and belt fastening systems operated numerous times for simply no reason (even when no car was around). - I find it hard to believe that you never encountered such incidents (Mercedes or not Mercedes) as I don't recall you commenting about such incidents.
Such incidents are extremely important for prospect buyers of cars as it can be very annoying (at best) and extremely dangerous (I once had the automatic brake system braking really hard for no reason while driving in a tunnel with a truck on my tail!).
I agree.and strange what happened with your E class experience. The only thing I encountered here was that the camera was not working once, you had to reboot the engine for that
The K.I.T.T. has born. It's no Trans Am though. Great stuff Thomas once again!
thanks !
Thanks for a fantastic review Love it but i am looking forward to see all the different colors of the car.
we ll surely deliver you more variations in the future
So hyped for the new A-Class Saloon
the way u open rear cupholders was awsm
Beautiful car but here in Canada 4Matic is a MUST when you live here on Vancouver Island with lots of rain. Orange or red would go better with that colour.
i was waiting for this review
I can't wait for new CLA. This is really great car, so I believe the new CLA will be great too.
I have a 2019 A class saloon with AMG line and 18 inch rims; does this have torsion beam or multilink?
Best car! Best review Thomas!
😎
I have a late 2019 A Class AMG line and I am disappointed by Traffic Assist, with respect to speed signs. The system often gets it wrong or just doesn't give a speed limit indication.
Very very nice car and review.
Just bought one delivery in 2 weeks. Can’t wait
enjoy!
Very nice review again. The only point that was missing is how this A class stops automatically if the driver does not hold the steering wheel.
✌️
Dear Thomas, as you may know the paddles are off side more to the left they are not in middle of floor , therefore when I drive a medium journey I feel pain in my food as I have to lean my lower food more toward left , and change the pattern of my sitting ..
oh wow
Can anyone tell me whether Executive pack has this 10.25 inch instrument cluster? or it's only available from Premium pack? If I go without Premium pack, it will be 2 separated screen (one for dashboard and one for media and GPS)?
Is this the Premium Plus with the panoramic sunroof am assuming so? I love your reviews but do wish you'd mention what specs/options are in the car you're testing.
Where was this filmed ? The landscape is beautiful
we usually leave hints in the review :)
What about sound isolation? I think it is not very good... very road noise
i'm so curious how the A35 and A45 amg's will be like and at what price tags. Would love to do a test drive in a full option A-class just to see how everything works while driving. Cause yeah you can go through the mbux in the dealership. But how well the safety features work, how much the camera's help, how the automatic gearbox reacts in different modes and how the suspension feels when it's an adaptive one etc. Unfortunately I only see the more basic versions in my area at dealerships. If there is a difference between them, if there are multiple in the showroom, it's that one has the amg-line package and the other doesn't.
Just ordered this one in Iridium silver, can't wait to have this as my daily driver :)
congrats! :)
Thank you for your great review! Can we get a review of the new facelift for the A-Class?
Thanks 🙏 we will!
@@autogefuehl there's no review of the facelift, is there? Thanks!
What's the difference with the a180 amg and a180 amg executive. Is it worth the upgrade and why?
Very well explained. Thanks
thanks, tune in for more reviews!
Same old story with Mercedes, with every new model the wheelbase increases, the overall length increases but the knee room in the rear remains basically the same. Where does the room go ? Same happened with the C,E, and CLS Class ...
can you browse the internet on the infotainment system?
I would definitely prefer a blacked out a class damnnnn looks amazing
Any one knows if and when we can expect more engines? I would be very much interested in an A200d.
