Mercedes-Benz A-Class buying guide

What types of used Mercedes A-Class cars are there?

Although the vast majority of buyers opt for a hatchback version of the A-Class, there’s also the slightly separate Mercedes A-Class Saloon, which looks like a mini C-Class. It might not be the obvious choice, but Audi and BMW both have similar offerings to rival it.

Mercedes A-Class history

Since 1997, there have been four generations of A-Class and more updates than you can count on both hands, so it’s very important to read the fine print to know what you’re getting.

> Third-generation Mercedes A-Class W176 (2012) - complete styling overhaul, taking the A-Class from an MPV to a sporty hatchback

> Mercedes A-Class W176 facelift (2015) - minor styling changes, upgraded in-car tech and more efficient engines

> Fourth-generation Mercedes A-Class W177 (2018) - more modern with a cleaner interior and new MBUX infotainment system

What features does the Mercedes A-Class have?

There have been so many updates to the Mercedes A-Class that it’s impossible to specify exactly what comes standard across the range, therefore it’s important to check any individual listing.

When the fourth-generation model first went on sale, entry-level SE models were sold with cruise control, push-button start, air-con, a seven-inch infotainment system and a second seven-inch display behind the wheel.

A mid-life facelift swapped out the smaller screen, which was controlled with a touchpad, for a larger touchscreen display.

Is the Mercedes A-Class reliable?

A used Mercedes A-Class for sale is typically a good choice when it comes to reliability, thanks to strong build quality and the sharing of parts between not only other Mercedes cars, but other companies.

The 1.3-litre petrol engine, for example, is built by Renault. Be aware that, as a premium brand, some repairs and replacement parts can be slightly pricier than average.

How much does the Mercedes A-Class cost to run?

Despite being an upmarket hatchback, there’s nothing upmarket about the fuel costs.

All petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid models offer strong efficiency (apart from the performance AMG models, which will cost more to run).

Insurance can be higher than your typical family hatch, but at least other costs are more reasonable.

Who is the Mercedes A-Class suitable for?

A Mercedes A-Class for sale is a great pick for the style-conscious – it’s a smart-looking premium hatchback with plenty of equipment and punchy performance.

Is the A-Class a luxury car?

Yes, the Mercedes A-Class is a premium model, however it’s much smaller than some premium cars like the Range Rover because it’s a family hatchback, which means it’s very economical to buy and run.

What's the difference between Mercedes A180 and A200?

Both versions in the fourth-generation model use a Renault-derived 1.3-litre petrol – the difference is power output, which stands at 136hp and 163hp respectively.

Previous third-generation A180 and A200 models produce 122hp and 156hp from a 1.6-litre Mercedes engine.

Do all Mercedes A-Class have Renault engines?

No, many engines used in the A-Class are Mercedes-built. The 1.3-litre petrol in the fourth-generation A180 and A200, and the 1.5-litre diesel used in the fourth-generation A180d, are both Renault engines.

The A250e plug-in hybrid model also uses the Renault-built 1.3-litre engine.

Is the Mercedes A180 front wheel drive?

Most A-Class models are front-wheel-drive, with the exception of a few higher-performance models with use four-wheel drive. You can tell these apart by their ‘4Matic’ badging.
