The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class proves that you don’t need to cut corners or sacrifice luxury to enjoy an entry-level luxury car. Shoppers looking for a fancy car in the $30,000 range used to default to the BMW 2 Series and Audi A3, as the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class compromised on too many details to compare favorably with those legitimate luxury options. With the arrival of the A-Class, however, Mercedes now has an entry-level vehicle worthy of the three-pointed star.

The A-Class comes in only A220 trim, albeit with your choice of either front-wheel drive or 4MATIC all-wheel drive. A 188-horsepower 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with 221 pound-feet of torque pairs with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Although this set up is expected to return 24 mpg city, 35 highway, and 28 combined, per the EPA, our test driver discovered that an enthusiastic driving style can drop the combined figure down into the high teens.
The A-Class’s interior stands out favorably amid other entry-level luxury sedans. The trunk, however, offers a very limiting 8.6 cubic feet of storage space. On the other hand, the A-Class delivers enough cutting-edge technology to keep your attention. Plus, you can find nice features like 5 USB-C inputs, a 64-color ambient lighting system, and very impressive voice-recognition controls.
Pricing on the A220 starts around $32,000 but an exhaustive scroll through the options list can bring the price much closer to $50,000.
