You have to be kidding? It's too over the top with unnecessary rubbish. They are just trying to hide you get a crap engine and gear box by overloading it with tech. Then to add the decent engine you have to spend a small fortune. With the unreliability factor of a Benz do you really want to risk all that tech lasting even the warranty period let alone beyond.
Like it or not, tech is the future for these luxury car brands. Also this is the A-Class the entry level of purchasing a Benz so it's supposed to come with low-end specs in terms of engine and etc; if you want a v8 there's the GT for you. Besides Benz is a reputable company, don't know why are you complaining so much.
Too much reflection though what the hell lol. That would totally suck in the Aussie sun. i would ditch those chintzy air vents though as they cheapen the look of the interior.Heads up diplay looks like it was bought in kmart as well. Why release a car with all this tech but a shit gear box?
DEVILTAZ35 Exactly mate, which is more important for a vehicle, the way it drives or the infotainment system? Not so long ago a car review was mainly to explain what are the drive train and the road behaviour, now 80% of the time is about explaining what is the screen resolution and what features the infotainment is - that really sucks!
Maybe because an A250 is not supposed to be about the driving experience and handling? If you watch an A45 review, you'd obviously expect (and get) the reviewer talking more about how it handles, how it puts power down and how it behaves when you push it. This is a very tactical move by Mercedes - they've long been seen as lacking in their infotainment systems and tech in comparison to their competitors, especially BMW and the iDrive system. By developing something like MBUX and making it standard across the entire range, on their lowest level model line, they're changing the game and sending a clear message to the market. If I was Mercedes marketing, I'd also be telling the reviewers to put a focus on the tech for now.
Ordered mine already cart wait to play around with the new tech interior and interface is hot not bothered about the extra leg room in the back I don't sit there haha 😂
You need to say how tall you are so that we can judge the leg and head room in the back. There is a heck of a difference between a 5 footer and a 6.6 footer.
2013 amg is $38,000aud . Since Socialists pushed up business costs In Germany 15 yrs , new cars waste of money and the tax on mercedez brand new drive away in Australia is 51%
In what way? These kind of homes are conjured up by developers who haven't a clue what good architecture is. Box after box after box, but each to their own. Most people are just happy to have a roof over their head.
Except the Australian price. I can't believe how much cheaper these cars are in USA. You would have to be nuts to buy a Mercedes in Australia as you are just giving them extra money for nothing.
overpriced for what it is.If I won lotto and I am no badge snob.I would based on the a180 sedan variant would save fifteen grand and head to the mazda dealer and settle for a 3 pure with an automatic and alarm system.2.0l four none of this turbo bullshit and best of all a driver layout the right way around for right hand drive markets.If the car was for my mother it would be a different story.
Great Review, I was torn between the Audi Q2 or this Mercedes A class, but looking at all these reviews on them this car wins hands down, plus are you anything to do with Danny Dyer?
Saves money in manufacturing but yeah it's a pet hate of mine. I would never buy a car where you can see that as it looks cheap and nasty. The car kind of looks cheap and nasty though as they are trying to shoehorn an S class like interior into too small a space.
This car has reviewers going ga-ga because of the tech and the iPad stuck on dash. The rear design belongs on an older cheap Korean car,it is terrible.The front isn't bad but I believe Audi and BMW's task of building better-looking hatches has been made easier. The reflections on the iPad dash will be difficult to deal with, especially when driving.It is bigger, but rear leg room hasn't inprove.I suggest waiting for the Audi or Golf or BMW's new hatchback.
combination of both - it's using AI to figure out what you're pointing the phone at (image recognition), then using AR to overlay the graphics onto things
You mean that on 4:32? Cause augmented reality is referred to the extra camera view at the front when your navigation is active. You will see the view in front of you on the screen, with they arrows, streetnames and numbers projected on to it.
Nah, SUVs are the way to go. The Touareg screen config is better and safer. Screens that sit outside like that are potential missiles when they dislodge during accidents.
I must say it's very nice, but, because certain types of wannabes tend to drive these, I would be a bit embarrassed. Or, maybe I'm getting to old for such flash. Idk.
I have problem why all of u test driver is soo busy about the place in the back? i AM SITTING IN THE DRIVER SEAT WHEN I DRIVING. And is no family who bring their mother and father with them, maybe sometimes, and 2 kids is no problem in the back seat, is lot of places. Soo why always soo busy about the place in the back? This is not a family car really, all understand that, normally is a single person or a couple with no kids buying a car like this.
saw0man it’s not really a comparable car to the golf. It’s a lot more expensive. Won’t be able to get out of one for over $50k and that’s golf r money which is a lot more powerful.
why buy this , why not just buy a 2013 a45 with 250kw for $38,000aud . New cars are a waste of money since left Government pushed up manufactures costs 15 yrs in Germany ( socialism)
don't buy the a180.if you are thinking that but it doesn't have to be a Mercedes pop down to Mazda for either a 3 pure or evolve.your wallet at purchase and servicing times will thank u.it's about ten to fifteen grand cheaper,the gear lever is on the proper sides and is better equipped,also no turbos at entry level so no worries
I personally find the interior tremendously stupid! You cant put 2 tablets without even integrate them at the dash and call that interior! Great tech but badly packed. Sorry Mercedes! For first time in my life I want to by VW instead Merc!
Couple that with the worse looking heads up display so far and it really drags it down. The biggest issue is the screens are out of the E class with more updated tech. They work in that car due to the width of the car but here they just look stuck on.
Came here for the Australian accent.. nice ‘Aiy’ class ! Waiy more leg room.... love it,,
What a gorgeous neighbourhood... was already sold on the car but, Australia is nice.
my god that has got to be the best infotainment system I've seen on a car.

I'm actually more amazed by the architecture of your shooting location. Can't wait on how Audi would answer with their new A3.
I cant wait to see what they do with the A45 on this new platform.
I honestly don’t know how they’re gonna squeeze more power out of the 2.0L engine
OfficialMINIm They will combine it with a electric Engine for starting, launching and slow traffic
OfficialMINIm twin turbos, supercharger and hybrid
hi9580 we will find out when time comes... But twin turbos, supercharger & electric motor? Sounds very unlikely to me
I hate this interior. It’s so beautiful and I’m jealous!

DEVILTAZ35 This guy is literally the only one who has complained about the gearbox, all other reviewers have called it smooth.
Shit gear box and a Renault engine but a "Las Vegas" screen made for the Apple generation. Nice body, though.
Haha the car will let your wife know you have a mistress lol 😂
Ordered mine already cart wait to play around with the new tech interior and interface is hot not bothered about the extra leg room in the back I don't sit there haha 😂
so how is your car? and what trim did you get? :P
How much does it cost ?? In € ??
Australia is beautiful ☝️
You need to say how tall you are so that we can judge the leg and head room in the back. There is a heck of a difference between a 5 footer and a 6.6 footer.
Wtf dont tell me that you cant push the front seat or change it to adjust with your height in mecedez classe a 200?
Seriously nice car and I wish they would bring this hatchback to the US! I guess we will have to make do with the GLA.
I have ordered the A220 hatchback AMG line, premium plus,
2 litre, 190 BHP.
There isn’t any videos on this engine?
Forget A45 unless you are really into AMG and fast power. The A250 is so good compare in the past
Moonface00z you think 215hp is enough?
For a small, compact car like this, 215 hp is probably good enough.
French motor or German. If it's French I'll pass on this one.
Agreed. Fast enough. Unless you are a F1 driver.
Nice review.. Thumps up
The Mercedes Ask App is not available on Android UK "Play Store"
I have the car but still can’t understand how is able to charge the phone with just touch it there
Hey, Mercedes... smash my avocado on toast.
prefer A Class AMG pre fl with the same price range but Mercedes Benz is normal with AMG the difference is quite significant in handling and comfort
AMG is a good way to remove kidney stones :)
2013 amg is $38,000aud . Since Socialists pushed up business costs In Germany 15 yrs , new cars waste of money and the tax on mercedez brand new drive away in Australia is 51%
is that car the premium plus package?? in your video?
10:00 nice suburbs mate, where was that?
Toorak in Melbourne. This area looks like the 'poorer' side of Toorak with its cookie cutter designed homes.
Far Kew.
bongmist I think they look architecturally stunning!
In what way? These kind of homes are conjured up by developers who haven't a clue what good architecture is. Box after box after box, but each to their own. Most people are just happy to have a roof over their head.
Are those rims only available on the a200?
Where was this filmed ?
Far Kew.
Small mercedes car has better interior storage than their new ute. What the heck
Except the Australian price. I can't believe how much cheaper these cars are in USA. You would have to be nuts to buy a Mercedes in Australia as you are just giving them extra money for nothing.
What model is this??
What about CarPlay?
Very nice.
Nice car but I got put off when he said it's got a Renault engine.
Badge snob.
Only the engine BLOCK is Renault. Parts are made by MB.
Stop being ignorant and learn the facts.
The Renault engine is one of the best in the business and ultra reliable.
overpriced for what it is.If I won lotto and I am no badge snob.I would based on the a180 sedan variant would save fifteen grand and head to the mazda dealer and settle for a 3 pure with an automatic and alarm system.2.0l four none of this turbo bullshit and best of all a driver layout the right way around for right hand drive markets.If the car was for my mother it would be a different story.
1:32 Does it come with a power tailgate?
I love this car 🔥🔥🔥
Does the car come with the HUD?
Costs extra, but is available
Beautiful city 😍
i want one but buying one would mean no more food for the whole 60 months
And you cant miss your bacon can you
shhh dont tell my therapist
3 millimeters more leg room 😄
All A-klass models above and including the 220 are only made by mercedes. little precision to keep in mind
Great Review, I was torn between the Audi Q2 or this Mercedes A class, but looking at all these reviews on them this car wins hands down, plus are you anything to do with Danny Dyer?
Thank Kek it comes in Red
the mercedes or audi a1 2019?
master chif shepard the competitor of this Mercedes is the Audi A3
Mercedes thou!!! Beautiful, I just don't like that I can still see the colour of the door from inside the car 😭
Saves money in manufacturing but yeah it's a pet hate of mine. I would never buy a car where you can see that as it looks cheap and nasty. The car kind of looks cheap and nasty though as they are trying to shoehorn an S class like interior into too small a space.
If This is A-Class S-Class Shall be Simply Splendid
What a sick car. Well done Mercedez !
Great review bro. Which gated community is that if I may ask?
search Cypress Way, Kew Melbourne. Not a gated community, they are very rare in Australia
@caradvice your info was wrong about renault ,only the a 180 and 160 has the renault engine or motorblock but the a200 is full out mercedes !!!!
That’s wrong: www.enginetechnologyinternational.com/news/new-engine/daimler-aclass-2018.html
Good Review
What is your height?
185cm :-)
This car has reviewers going ga-ga because of the tech and the iPad stuck on dash.

BMWPower isnt the mk8 golf coming soon
I don't think it is soon.The Dieselgate saga has apparently delayed it.Maybe late next year?Who knows?
BMWPower you reckon it'll be a dramatic change?
lol.....cheap korean car, so true
Says a guy who's picture is a BMW and nickname is "BMWpower". learn to lose I have one and the refletion is
Very beautyful Mercedes-Benz 👌
So whats the price of this car?
AUD$47,200
Thanks
RGB is life
Head checks? Who does those these days!!!
Rear end look just like a Kia Forte Hatch
Beautiful car all round but the rear head rests... 8:43 thumbs down from me
lol yeah hopefully removable :)
Artificial intelligence? Don’t you mean Augmented Reality...
Yes! Sorry about that.
combination of both - it's using AI to figure out what you're pointing the phone at (image recognition), then using AR to overlay the graphics onto things
gibbonenhancements that’s not artificial intelligence, it’s just identifying things it’s been programmed to identify, it doesn’t learn
You mean that on 4:32? Cause augmented reality is referred to the extra camera view at the front when your navigation is active. You will see the view in front of you on the screen, with they arrows, streetnames and numbers projected on to it.
Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes-Benz A class (AMG Line) please. Thank you
Ha ha.
Mate you could have said 'Hey Merdeces' ( 4:08 ) out loud if you like, the car would not have known what you were talking about!
A sedan the highlight
Everything is good just back like KIA
Woooowwwww amazing
Nah, SUVs are the way to go. The Touareg screen config is better and safer. Screens that sit outside like that are potential missiles when they dislodge during accidents.
Ah the ugly tacked on integrated looking dual screen thing. I guess some folks do like that thing.
Torsion bar rear suspension?
That's 90s technology, not to mention crap.
Hey Mercedes I really want you but I am poor :D
Hey Mercedes take my money!!....if only🙁
Hey Merdeces? Typo? 😊
I just want to drive... Why would I want it remembers everything I do. To be honest... Over the top with tech n more stuff to distract you.
I must say it's very nice, but, because certain types of wannabes tend to drive these, I would be a bit embarrassed. Or, maybe I'm getting to old for such flash. Idk.
I have problem why all of u test driver is soo busy about the place in the back? i AM SITTING IN THE DRIVER SEAT WHEN I DRIVING.

Bye bye golf
saw0man it’s not really a comparable car to the golf. It’s a lot more expensive. Won’t be able to get out of one for over $50k and that’s golf r money which is a lot more powerful.
mathieu burna merc sometimes has up to 25% discounts on current models， all u have to do is to wait for another year
Boxuan Yan no one wants to buy superseded German junk.
Different segment.
Golf R $60k.
A45 closer to $100k.
saw0man not wrong
I class ?? LOL
Me Like! 😎
why buy this , why not just buy a 2013 a45 with 250kw for $38,000aud . New cars are a waste of money since left Government pushed up manufactures costs 15 yrs in Germany ( socialism)
cuz the interior look like shit
Good luck with those dead pixels and when your dash fails in 40 degree weather.
I don't like it. Exterior is just the 308 Peugeot and interior.....leave the tablet out and the remainder is just very simple.
Great luxury car for dwarfs
don't buy the a180.if you are thinking that but it doesn't have to be a Mercedes pop down to Mazda for either a 3 pure or evolve.your wallet at purchase and servicing times will thank u.it's about ten to fifteen grand cheaper,the gear lever is on the proper sides and is better equipped,also no turbos at entry level so no worries
Hey Merdeces ?!
sexy car
Watch until he said the motor is from Renault, thanks, but no, thanks....
Call my wife or my girlfriend :)
YOU'RE TOO TALL
such a shitty car rather buy a volvo v40 or a bmw 1 series
I really hate this fucking tablet.this is a car not a ps4
I personally find the interior tremendously stupid! You cant put 2 tablets without even integrate them at the dash and call that interior! Great tech but badly packed. Sorry Mercedes! For first time in my life I want to by VW instead Merc!
