Mercedes-Benz is a well renowned global brand which has maintained its standard for quite a while and will maintain, since its Indian line-up has a lot to offer to the customers and will add yet another car very soon, the A-Class. The A-Class is an entry level car that the brand intends to launch in a segment still untouched which will comprise of Volkswagen Beetle and others if launched. The car will compete with the Audi A1 which is also coming to India soon.
Mercedes-Benz A-Class Features
The car is luxurious yet it doesn’t make you feel as if you are travelling in a luxurious one. The car also has tendency of rolling due to a shorter wheel-base and relatively tall body. It also surrenders to under-steer conditions and the steering isn’t promising as well eventually showing a loss of firmness over uneven surfaces and a loss of traction too.
The most noticeable thing about the car is the raised view of the road but is compensated with high sitting position being a strong point. The car has an impressive legroom and headroom and makes passengers feel spaciousness.
