Tested: New sub-$50,000 Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan

AutoExec Summary

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan offers compact luxury with a more comfortable character than its hatchback counterpart, attracting new buyers. Priced from $44,900, it features a tech-laden interior, but costs extra for standard equipment found in economy cars. The sedan is powered by a 1.3-litre turbo engine and has a less settled ride compared to other Mercedes models. Despite its luxurious interior, the A-Class sedan falls short in driving polish and driving aids.
