2019 A-Class
Sleek exterior; smooth ride and handling; torquey engine; Mercedes-Benz quality; compact dimensions; surprisingly low base price
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a brand-new model for 2019, slotting in just below the CLA coupe at the bottom of Mercedes' lineup for this year. While the CLA rides on an older platform and has its interior space is slightly compromised by the swoopy roofline and coupe-like proportions, the A-Class sedan rides on a new platform and is a true sedan with plenty of space in the back seats. Despite this, Mercedes-Benz has done some spectacular work on the new A-Class styling; it's presents as both stylish and sporty and aimed right at younger buyers looking to make their first foray into the luxury sedan market.
