The 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class won Best Luxury Sedan in the 2020 Edmunds Top Rated Awards. A repeat winner, the A-Class delivers the luxury experience you'd expect from a Mercedes-Benz, but at an affordable price. It rides and drives well, and it hosts exceedingly clever technology features, making it the best luxury sedan. Mercedes-Benz A-Class Review:
With an impressive combination of excellent driving manners, stellar build quality and a futuristic interior, the A-Class isn't a less expensive Mercedes-Benz, it's simply a smaller one. It earns our highest marks for a small luxury sedan.
Given the car's starting price in the low $30,000s, it would be tempting to assume that Mercedes cut corners. In reality, the A-Class is worthy of its badge, and you can indeed think of it as a downsized Benz. The A 220, which is the first trim level to come out, exceeds expectations in almost every meaningful metric.
It performs well enough to please driving enthusiasts while also providing a comfortable ride with an impeccably designed interior. And it's packed with the latest tech, including the new feature-rich MBUX infotainment system that can be controlled by voice or via steering wheel pads, a touchscreen or a trace pad. On top of all of this, the cabin is surprisingly spacious for all passengers.
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is offered in one trim: the A 220 sedan with seating for five passengers. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (188 horsepower, 221 lb-ft of torque) that is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel drive is available as an option.
Standard features include 17-inch wheels, LED headlights, heated mirrors, a panoramic sunroof, keyless ignition, selectable drive modes, dual-zone automatic climate control, simulated leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with memory functions, and 40/20/40-split folding rear seats.
On the tech front, you get a 7-inch digital instrument panel, a 7-inch central touchscreen, the MBUX infotainment system, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, remote control and monitoring via a smartphone app, five USB-C ports, and HD radio. Standard safety features include a rearview camera, frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, emergency communications, and a drowsy driver warning system.
