As a brand, Mercedes-Benz surely needs no introduction, but here's a couple of interesting facts. Firstly, Mercedes-Benz has the longest traceable history of any motor manufacturer in the world, dating all the way back to 1886. Secondly, it was the founder of the company, Karl Benz, who takes credit for inventing the very first motor car!
Over the next 133 years, Mercedes-Benz kept its finger firmly on the pulse and it is now the biggest seller of premium cars in the world. Although best known for bigger, luxury cars, Mercedes has not neglected the drivers who are looking to lease something a little more modest.
The A-Class Saloon is a very big 'small' saloon - Mercedes has pushed the boundaries here. There are no less than fifteen trim-variant models in the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Saloon range at the present time. They all have classic 4-door modelling and fit five adults with ease. Take a look at three of the most sought-after models:
The saloon version of the A-Class comes with just two basic engine options, a 1.3 litre turbocharged petrol or a 2.0 litre 4-cylinder diesel, but that is where 'basic' ends! Even the entry-level SE has 17" alloys, a 64-setting ambient lighting feature and a voice-activation system.
The Sport model also benefits from 17" alloy wheels, but these are an upgraded version with chunkier tyres than the SE. A further addition is 'Multibeam' headlights, a feature that adjusts the beam intensity automatically when traffic approaches.
The AMG Line is the top-specification. Supplied with 18" alloy wheels, the AMG has two separate 10.25" display screens, voice control that rivals Amazon's Alexa and even some built-in AI functionality. This car actually 'learns' your preferences in terms of lighting, radio channels and so on. Seriously next-level!
The A-Class Saloon is supplied with an automatic gearbox, although it's possible to 'upgrade' to a six-speed manual.
The car has a forgiving suspension, so you'll ride comfortably over the roughest surface. Thanks to classic Mercedes-Benz-level insulation, the A-Class is also a surprisingly quiet drive. In all ways, this little car performs exactly as you would expect from a world-class manufacturer.
Once inside the Mercedes-Benz A Class Saloon, you'll notice this interior outclasses any close rivals.
Top-spec tech combined with sofa-comfy upholstery and a truly awesome stereo system are just for starters. Pop into LeaseCar and try for yourself!
A variety of technological advances in safety have been added to the A Class Saloon, one of which is 'Active Lane Change'. This feature has two purposes: it keeps you in lane and changes lanes for you automatically, as directed by the indicator. This is just one of many innovative features that have earned the Mercedes-Benz A Class Saloon a four-star rating under the Euro NCAP system.
