Who'd consider the hybrid A-Class over a petrol one?
Plug-in cars are pointless in 2020 for 99.9% of the drivers. It's worse than both EV and petrol or full hybrid cars
Patrol
Be honest about the mileage. They literally only test the cars over a distance slightly longer than the EV range and them claim unrealistic economy figures. It’s disgraceful.
Best thing for the plugin cars is to make 2 fuel consumption tests,one with battery full and one with the battery empty. The buyer needs to know both results and the official fuel consumption has to be the average of both
@@andreiarama8745 What do you mean by "full hybrid"?
The big 10 inch displays are a MUST
Deffo! Marketing genius’, they know people will want them and charge a bomb for them.
Whilst the design of the interior is good, it's actually surprisingly flimsy.
@@AlexSeddon11 Curiously, they are included in the standard A250e in Portugal
@@ephons Could Be Portugal Regulation
Yup. It looks horrendous
How are they giving Rory the model with the small screens? He deserves better, they just look disgusting.
Honestly when youre sat in it in person, the smaller screens suffice. Sure, the bigger screens are nicer, but they're just not worth the 4k that mercedes charges.
@@Gaming2020-c1b you probs but for me that is the first thing I would spec up and in this particular case it’s a review car so shouldn’t it be appealing visually because we cannot be there
@@Gaming2020-c1b You get a lot more for your 4k than larger screens.
@@faranahmad I always prefer it when car reviewers review cars that are more base models like this one as it shows what you get base, and then allows you to work out what extras you would like - if any. The alternative is massively specced cars with huge price tags that mean you're disappointed when your actual car arrives.
@@BobMonkeypimp ooh parking sensors and apple car play. Come on, the price of extras is insane.
Got my a250e sedan polar White, premium pack, Burmeister pack, Panorama, parking pack, amg line, and night pack last month.
My tips to future buyers.
1. Trust me, get the larger screens. The differens is as night and day.
2. Upgrade charging support to 7.5 kw instead of 3.6. Fully charged in almost 1 hour.
3. Get the parking package. The rear camera is just sooo good in day as night. Do not pick the 360 camera package, just waste of cash.
4. If you do not pick the AMG package, at least pick the AMG steering wheel. It feels and looks 10 times better than the standard s-wheel.
5. Do NOT pick the AMG seats if you have a short girlfriend or going for long drives. The headrests are not made for short people and you cant change their positions. I picked comfort sport chairs and we both love them!
I LOVE my a250e, and you will NOT be disappointed!
@ismeto Thank you! The petrol engine is more than ok, feels like more than 160 hp. It's sound is not that good tho. The petrol engine combined with the electric engine in sports mode compensates it. Acceleration from 0 to 70-80 km/h feels like a 300-350 hp car. Those 450 newtons are crazy at lower speeds and still more than you need on highway. In the end, it is not a sportscar.
The amg suspension is ok on tough roads. If you spend alot on bad roads, i would not recommend them.
That 80mpg in hybrid mode sounds rather crazy to me, when my Volt returns 40ish mpg in hybrid and a Prius Prime is around 55mpg. I have similar EV range to the Merc and my lifetime average is 110mpg, but if I just drove in town I could be getting 1000mpg. So take that 250+mpg figure with a grain of salt, phev mpg figures are determined by how the car is used.
I get 70mpg easy in my cla 250e the use of radar and sat nav brake regen plus cylinder deactivation is maybe what makes the difference. Most journeys I don't use any fuel. I know one owner who still has half a tank left from handover and he got the car in April!
@@scottmurray8483 Well if that's the case it's great to hear.
@Jim fallow what do you mean?
Lol you guys are silly
@@samusaran7317 what do you mean?
The 2 X 7" displays look like a pair of photo frames waiting for 2 pictures to be popped in,😭
I live in Lincoln and the hatch is fucking everywhere
Hey Rory, I was distracted by that lovely new Rolex on your wrist. I couldn't think about the car just the watch! Nice watch!
Hi Rory would love to see a review of the BMW 530e hybrid.. plug in Hybrids are awesome cars 💯
Only if Top gear kept Rory, Matt Leblanc and hired Matt Watson from Carwow I feel like it would have made the show a bit tolerable and fun
Agreed, the 2 new guys are very difficult to understand with those bloody accents and it makes watching TG intolerable.
Why are these still not available in the US market? United States is one of the biggest auto markets yet all we have are the conventional gas models and straight to EQ EV lineup that's still offers all the restriants and EV offers. If we had these decent plug in hybrid alternatives to bridge the gap I'd be all over this.
The fact that "if you don't charge the battery, you won't get the announced mileage" is no catch. By that logic, an ICE car with an announced range of 1,000 miles will never get there if you don't fill up the tank...
PHEV is where it's at.
It really is. The best option for many people.
I can see the upgrade nice watch 👌
Got the vw golf gte, same concept. Really love it the best in both and really enjoyable!
If this car or the CLA Coupe / Shooting-Brake were fully Electric it was easily a great alternative to the Model 3. If Hyundai can get 64KWh into a Kona, I'm sure MB can get more capacity into this vehicle. The EQA is not sleek sporty Saloon.
Please provide more technical details:
What's the maximum charging speed? Is it 7.2 or 3.6 kW?
What's the usable battery capacity? Is it 85% (13.3 kWh) of the 15.6 net kWh?
What's the charging time at the fastest charging speed and at a regular home plug?
Does the battery have active cooling?
Otherwise, it's a nice presentation. Thank you.
Do ur research
@@zunzea I spent 8 minutes watching this video as research. This video could have easily provided these details too and be a complete source of information instead of a partial source and instead of being less relevant as a result.
@@maereanm 🤦♂️
NOW THAT'S SQUEAKY 💎🕊💎
*First* (Please M1000RR Content when it comes out)
Hybrids are the way forward.
Isn't it obvious that any car would have great fuel usage on a short journey when its running on the battery power?🤔. What's the mpg when it's just using petrol?
*The Exhausts are 'fake' - they are on all the range, long story but in short EU 'sound levels emissions'*
Would this hybrid come in the GLA anytime soon Rory?
Yes, this platform goes to the cla (both versions), b class, and gla.
This won’t appear in the glb since the glb is a seven seater
I much prefer the A Class hatch or CLA, this just gives me a Hyundai vibe
It looks almost identical to the cla....
@@alizcool1 I’ve got a cla and this is nothing like it.
Those display screens are an insult to the buyer
So he's getting 80mpg but it's advertised as delivering 250mpg+..?!
Are all hybrids false advertising like this?
Any hybrid could get 10,000mpg if using electric mode, recharging, and almost always using electric mode. But that's not reality. If it's not getting the high mpg that's advertised - while using hybrid mode... I'm not interested
So now i have to charge it and go to the gas station, it feels like i have to put in two times the effort to keep the car running.
They should try use the heat of the engine to charge up the battery
Let's don't forget this is small battery and it will be more likely be drain daily from 100 to 0% and the battery will die much much quicker compare to full ev
It doesn't fully drain, it gets to 20% then cuts off.
The battery in the rear seats will warm passenger bums 🤣
Mmmmm not really but sure. You’d get more heating from the alcantara/ vegan cloth interiors 😄
Corolla hybrid is my choice.
Petrol is old school, clunky, stinky, and deadly. Why don’t you try breathing what comes out of the exhaust pipe?
Amazing that a Mercedes-Benz is now the 3rd best selling car in Britain.
PCP finance lmao
@@khizerahmad3288 Who buys brand new cars these days? It’s a depreciating asset. You’d be stupid to buy one outright brand new.
And yet the other best cars are American owned or American owned gm and ford
@@How-hard-can-it-be Vauxhall Opel hasn't been american since 2017. Now it's french
@@GhostStPatrick_ Not really I brought a brand new A35 outright and got 26% off. So I haven’t lost any money off depreciation.
lol at those sad-ass 7-inch screens that look like a digital picture frame you bought for your grandmother back in 1998.
Just got mine, absolutely love it. Same as Rorys but in white.
For me it's about the money I save, I don't work it out in mpg. I do a 40 mile round trip to work and back so the PHEV suits me, I joined BP charge master £8 a month subscription and at my local asda theres a free 7kw unit with them, so my total bill for petrol to work and back has reduced from approx £150 a month to £8. Its a 10 minute walk from asda to get home, it takes 2 hours to charge so then about 30 minutes before it's finished charging I go for a run and then pick the car back up. I don't have a driveway, I live in a terraced house so couldn't get a wall box fitted, but I don't need to charge it home (so no cost here either) if I do it that way. Keeps cost down plus I get fit. Happy days.
this is inspirational cant wait to get mine.
One of the best comments. We'll explained in details gave me a full in sight as am thinking upgrading my car to this . Thank you so much .
@@marcusmadamombe6325 if it helps, you can also get EV electricity tariffs which allow you to benefit from especially low off-peak energy usage costs if you can install a wall box at home
Nice one sounds like you found a good way of making it work

Mercedes always tend to age well.
A classic Mercedes still looks so damn good and the modern ones still look futuristic. Love it
i have the facelift GLC and still likes the old GLK look. Even the old S class is more classier than the new S class in my eyes. C-E-S class looks the same in first glance
1:39 damn Mercedes couldn't even provide you with a premium package model??
Well, we get good consumer advice out of Rory’s suffering
@@vladx2 hahaha true but the thing is dealer specced cars all have premium package so the only way to get it without it is to order
Whilst the design of the interior is good, it's actually surprisingly flimsy.
A250e is well sold out. They can't make enough of them. It has huge EV only range, very high MPG after battery goes away. And, crucially it has FAST DC CHARGING! Meaning you can go long trips, stop to eat/relax/go to toilet and charge for 30 minutes and bang you have another 80km of EV range before you deploy the engine .
Also saloon is 0.22cd drag coef the best production car drag coef ! for reference tesla model 3 is 0.23 (wrose), toyota prius is 0.24 even with the egg-like form! saloons are efficient on motorways exactly because of the form they get good cd. Look 2 ton merc s-class 2016 2 tons 5 meters 6 cyl diesel and it does 5 liters / 100km on motorway with no hybrid/batteries at all
@@person2186 it sounds like it's about to crack
I have owned an A250e since March. It is great for my daily commute as I was getting 45 miles in electric mode during the summer. The petrol engine is good on the motorway as long as it is not pushed too hard. Definitely worth a look for someone who is not yet ready to go fully electric.
These cars get a lot of hate from EV enthusiasts, and ICE drivers don't really understand them - and certainly don't understand how smooth and quiet and *nice* these are to drive and own. All of which is a pity, because for most people they really do everything they need at a price they can afford right now. I just wish it had been introduced a little sooner!
Hi, what is the MPG of the petrol engine alone?
What kind of MPG are you getting?
@@Oliver9402 I get 60+ mpg but only use the petrol engine on the motorway, most of the time at 70 on cruise control. The figure would be much lower if you use the engine around town, so keep the battery charged and then you only need to fill up with petrol every 2-3 months.
If you dont charge it at all, it will function as a sort off mild hybrid setup, where the battery will always be kept at 1 % to be used for acceleration from 0 to around 20 mph, as well as when you push the gas pedal to the ground and need that extra electric power.
I have used the exact same engine in a cla250e and have gotten 33-37 miles/gallon without any charging. Most driving being on the motorway at normal 60-70 mph speeds. Thats what you should expect as well if you don't charge it.
Note that this number is actually pretty good considering it has over 200 hp and 450 Nm of torque. Although it is a bit of a shame that the model i had only had front wheel drive, so i couldn't take advantage of all that power (front wheels spin if you try to accelerate quickly and you end up with a lousy acceleration). @@danyalexys4956
The mileage claims are a sham. They literally test the cars over distance slightly longer than the EV range so most of the distance is covered by electric only.
This makes Sense
That's no sham. The car is designed to be used mostly in EV mode. As Rory said, most drivers commute less than 21 miles per day. The EV range was 42 miles. Its reasonable that fuel efficiency is based on the average use for which the vehicle is intended.
They always miss out the vital words...as tested under strict conditions. I've no doubt it can achieve the claimed figures under test conditions, but yes, in real life, it won't get close to the claims most of the time. I've had a C350e for 4 years now - much smaller battery, bigger car, bigger ICE, on a run I get high 40s/low 50s, starting with a 'flat' battery. Going to the shops, it uses no petrol at all. My point is, it's incredibly sensitive to how you drive it. Put it in Sport and drive it hard and you'll see low 30s. In some ways a hybrid is both best & worst of both worlds - they are more complicated and heavier, but are versatile. Depends if that matters to a buyer or not I guess. Wish my C350e had the same battery capacity though! It's a pathetic 6.3kWh
@@desmondroberts6034 You're falling victim to marketing hype hook line and sinker...
This presumes the driver is always using the full range to zero power before you switch to petrol. All the weight and space of an ice and a tiny EV range. Plugins will be the next after hybrids to lose any subsidy and EV incentive. Remember its merc giving you the ev range not even the absurd official wltp tests. Prefer to see range extender pushed so the ice engine is just there to recharge the battery like the i3 RE. Phev is better suited to trucks where geo fencing would mean they run in ev mode in city centres/passing schools-creches and switch to charging once in the motorway until battery tech or hydrogen fuel can dump diesel
Loving the Yachtmaster, Rory!
It's unfortunate that automakers need to have a smaller screen version and "lower end" versions of everything for their cheaper cars. It's probably financially cheaper for them to just all use the same screen in ALL of their cars, but people who spend more money would be pissed if something that costs way less also has the same quality of materials and hardware. Automakers are already cutting costs by throwing in the exact same engine in a bunch of their cars. I wonder how long until every car gets the same everything.
As for the electric, you can get up to 60km range (tested). But the low overall consumption values have to be more realistic. I would prefer an average value after 300km of driving.
Rory i really enjoy watching that channel since you've come across. You're a real asset. Your Top Gear appearance was also great by far you and Chris Harris are the best reviewers in the UK !
Rory has improved so much as a presenter since the Top Gear days!
@LUMEXxBLACK Did I say he was bad at Top Gear? no.
@@HappyEmileHeskey yes
Top gear isn't the place for proper car reviewers Chris Harris reviews pre Top Gear is miles ahead of him on top gear same with Rory
@@aerox69x ye
This car is not bad but I’d rather get the regular a class or CLA
You can get the same drivetrain for the cla
‘Cla 250e
Love the car.
Ordered a A200 sedan with night package and premium plus. Would like the 250e but it is too expensive and I couldn't charge it at home. In Portugal, hybrids are a good buy for enterprises but not for individuals really.
I'll lose out on the acceleration but it will be lighter as well
It's really mean of mercedes to fit those small 7 inch screens. 10 inch screens must cost them about 50p more. In fact they probably make nothing on them because they have to write software for two screen sizes.
Plug in hybrids are the true future.
I doubt it. Lugging around a gas engine is rather silly in my opinion. A lot of unnecessary weight
The design looks kinda awkward tbh, dunno why. It's not as minimalistic and elegant as other models I guess :)
Yea I mean I’d rather get a CLA
Awesome Rolex !!!
"a sad little pipe that lives underneath" :D
Well, here is how it really does after one year. I ordered my a250e about a month after this review and next month I will be driving it for a year. 10,000km (6200m) on the clock. Simply put, if you can charge the a250e at home, it is supreme. Exactly 70% of my kilometers are in electric. 2,7 l/100 km (87mpg). Charging is upgradable, but I got the slowest one. It charges 0-100% in about 6 hours. However, since I plug it at night, it doesn't matter at all and I also get discounted electricity. The bigger displays are a must, all sound systems are excellent, tech inside is glorious, boot space is totally fine, power is very good. There are quite a few places with cheap materials, which is kind of disappointing. Overall, I am overjoyed by my choice even though I am a bit biased towards MB.
Which places do you mean?
To save you having to watch the entire video, he got around 80mpg in hybrid mode.
The bezels on the screens are not attractive
Nice that it's hybrid. Hopefully reduce the anti social behaviour from A Class drivers in London.
Fake exhaust pipe is a real downer for me. Mercs are looking cheaper every release... Tsk tsk
I've just had a demonstrator. I did an 80 mile journey (40 miles to my destination and returned the same route) consisting of 22 miles of A road and 18 miles motorway each way. The car did 34 miles of pure electric on the A road (22 miles) and motorway (12 miles) before running out and the rest of the journey on petrol (so 48 miles on petrol getting me back home on the same return route) and the resulting MPG was 72.8mpg overall. Remember that when using the petrol engine it just charge the batteries as much as it can so the car said I did 38 miles electric by the end of the journey as it does assist the engine with batteries as and when it can. I hope that makes sense, the petrol engine gve me pretty good mpg on it's own when on the motorway, anywhere between 45-75mpg depending on hills and so on. If I was going for longer journey's then I would factor in stops for quick recharging. Nice car overall, average modern build quality and try out the seats before ordering as they might be too small for the larger person. I'm average build and only just coped with squeezing between the side bolsters. Accelerates surprisingly well in Sport mode and very low tax if like me, you're ordering as a company car.
It still does 50mpg on the motorway petrol alone. And it has 30 miles range available battery for everyday driving and in sport you get 212bhp and a great 0-60. How more perfect can a car get?
256 mpg.... Don't be silly... Use your 40miles on electric you are petrol only so 40mpg the top speed quoted that is on electric and petrol combined so you have used up the battery so what is the top speed then what is the performance then ... Get yourself a proper EV... Don't drag round a fossil engine and gearbox just to make the fossil car industry happy...Good review, as you say the car is smoother on electric so get an electric only car...
Truth. Its silly combining electric efficiency and passing it off as fuel miles per gallon/liter.
Boot space is only dropped a little, from 405 litres to 315..... that's a loss of nearly 25%!
Fake pipes??! I’m sorry are we still in Reception year going broom-vroom with our playmobil set? Jeeezus...
M-Bs have evolved into some nice designs (if a little mundane) and it seems like the company is heading toward a successful future now that they are offering good EV alternatives. For most drivers, a hybrid still seems like the best option but it will be a long while before these cars loose the weight needed to be true sports sedans. Good review as always, love your channel. I wish you would do a video on car colors over the years and explain why all we seem to see on the road anymore is white, black, grey or variations thereof. So bland. I'm in the market for a new car and I plan on buying something in blue, red, or even yellow if it's the right fit for the model.
Rory, I’m happy to see you upgraded your wrist game. Good choice, it suits you well. @AutoTrader is treating you well 👍
7” display wow how short sighted for a car manufacturer. Obviously doesn’t care about the the customer. All for a few £.
I'm sorry, 256 mpg while treating the electric part like it has no equivalent is deceitful. A Tesla Model 3 gets 134 mpge. The way this is calculated the Model 3 gets infinite mpg. Dumb.
Am I the only one thinking previous generation A250 is much better???
I have a civic 1.6 diesel 2016. Just done proper test over 1740 miles of a ,b roads stop start motoring not driving li,e a grandad . Achieved 71mpg . Beat that. On some rons I can get 87mpg , best mpg is 112mpg . An amazing car ghat nobody knows about
Brilliant informative well put together! I moaned on about the silly recent 6x6 video ranting about this is where top gear got wasteful and childish. Got informed about what a 250e is and enjoyed Rory’s presentation. Thanks auto trader. 👍🏼
Electric range varies depending on how 'Aggressively' you drive the car !!! Enthusiastically would be a much better word, we don't want anyone on our roads driving AGGRESSIVELY !!
Having owned a 530e I found hybrids a bit of a con.
Combined petrol and charging costs with range and the car faired worse than a normal 2.0 petrol and far worse than a diesel.
Unbelievable Mercedes gave him the model without the full size screens lol
the charging connector is missing at least one pin !
in the netherlands we want 3 phase 400volt charging 3ph plus neutral plus earth on every plug in or full electric car !
It does have third tier fast charge, he just didn’t use it in the video.
fast charge i will use as little as possible, so for us 11kw charging at home is very important !!!!!
Who the hell on earth specced this car with those miniscular displays... Completely ruins the look... Just dont do it for god sake
Just ordered a CLA250E Premium Plus.....those small screens look horrendous
Is this car ever coming to the U.S? I love PHEV and currently have a A35 AMG 👍
Not car related but anyone know what watch he's wearing?

@@aaronthomas89 Salute to you, thanks
I've got an A250e hatchback. My app is showing me as averaging 176.6 mpg since new (July). I do use electric mostly as my commute is about 42 miles return, and this is where the car excels. Def worth paying for the big screens they look so much better especially with the amount of customisation you can have on the displays.
Charge up once, drive a full tank of gas to within 20 miles of empty. Mix stop and go driving with freeway driving for the day. And then tell us what it averages mpg. That's the # I need because I do Rideshare all day and drive 300-350 miles per day.
@@icanmanifest Clearly this isn't the car for you then. Its much more targeted at the daily city commuter than the highway mile muncher. I guess something like a Tesla with a long range battery may be more suitable, depends on how deep your pockets are of course
@@IamTheGit My main point was when plug-in hybrid reviews are done, it’s rare to find someone who says what miles per gallon and got over the full course of a tank of gas used up in one day versus charging multiple times.
I’m loving hybrid cars, but I would chose the CLA 45 AMG...
I actually like that there is for once a video with a car that has the smaller screen, kinda to see the difference. All the ads and videos you can find online are with the big screens....

They probably chose this because it’s the cheapest Mercedes for buyers of electrified vehicles
Decision fatigue will probably stop me from getting a hybrid vehicle. I prefer just fully petrol or electric
Plug-in hybrids tend do be quite expensive, at that price point I'd rather pay a bit more and have a full ev
Do Mercedes plug in hybrid also do self charging?
I start to sweat and look around for gas stations whenever my range goes below 50mi
Yes and when you get there, you need to remember to stop by the right sort of fuel pump. Petrol or diesel? V- petrol or diesel extra or whatever? Then there’s LPG. That’s if there’s not a chaotic queue for the pumps, which is also stressful. And once you’re stuck in a petrol queue, you’re stuck in it. So much easier with a battery car. Just plug in and go for coffee...
I have rented PLug in Hybids and they are garbage. If you want one , buy full electric instead. If you still want hybrid buy a real NON PLUG IN hybrid. These cars return unpredicatble range and the tank is tiny. If you drive 20km a day may be ok. If you need to drive long distance occasionally avoid plug in hybrids at all.
Im driving a Skoda enyaq 100% electric fir 1 more year and it is marvellous in the city or to go to work but you basically cant go anywhere over the weekend let not say on holiday -Spain where i live has very few public chargers out of the big cities. Im looking for a car i could use on electric mode only on my daily commute (32 kms and i can charge at work) but then can drive 300 kms overbthe weekend and do my 1300 kms trip back to my valley in the Alps, this class A might well be what I will be driving in 1 year from now.
Why don't they just bite the bullet and throw a 50kwh battery in it.. 🤷♂️ A corsa can have one I'm sure they could fit the same size in an A class. I'd replace my e-golf with this if it had 50kwh pack. But since it's got Dino juice. I'm not interested
The hatchback a class looks hideous however I think they’ve fixed it with the sedan. It looks more prestigious less like a corrola. It’s more like a Merc. And the c class is too big and expensive now so I would buy the a sedan or cla instead
Whilst the design of the interior is good, it's actually surprisingly flimsy.
My a class is garbage, go over a tiny bump and it sounds like all plastic is about to crack

You have no EV Range and when you use the Combustion engine its strain duo to added weight 🤔
I got 176 mpg over 1500km from my 330e. Here is the video PHEV tips | How to get claimed mpg in PHEV | PHEV driving tips
Can someone explain the following case:
- Pure Benzin version goes "100x km" with full tank.
- How much "x km" will the hybrid version can drive with one full tank, if there is no charge in the battery and we are in the long trip?
I am just trying to understand, for people who are also doing long trips (~1000 km), its still make sense to go with Hybrid version over the petrol one.
Much appreciate if someone explain this.
Thanks!

These kinds of vehicles are so dumb, and all the money spent developing these is just throwing good money after bad. This will be obvious in 5 years.
Please Mercedes just give the 10 inch screen as standard
I received my car about a month ago now and I’m comfort mode using electric it’s a dream to drive HOWEVER if there is no issue with my petrol engine then it’s the worst piece of crap I’ve driven and definitely not what I expected from a Mercedes. When in sports mode the car does not utilise both engines, also when trying to accelerate there is a flat spot at time so when you’re trying to pull off quickly we’ll you’re stuck in limbo for a couple of seconds. I’m going to make another appointment with my dealership as if this is the way the car is then I’m getting rid and would recommend anyone avoid it like the plague!
