Used 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class for sale nationwide

When the generation of Mercedes A-Class that the 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class hails from was launched (in 2019), it genuinely looked like something from a sci-fi film, with a glitzy interior full of swish ambient light and, in some models, a huge screen stretching two thirds of the way across the cabin and incorporating the infotainment system and driver’s display. But although it brought serious glamour to a market segment that is generally rather conservative in design terms, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class isn’t quite as good to drive as some cheaper competitors, such as the Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf.
## Strengths: Cutting-edge technology and infotainment
Plug-in hybrid promises low company car tax bills
AMG hot hatches combine class and excitement
## Weaknesses: Non-AMG models aren't all that involving to drive
A premium product inevitably comes with a premium price tag
In general, a Mercedes is not as reliable as a Lexus
## Is the 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class better than the 2021 BMW 1 Series? Despite being the first front-wheel-drive BMW 1 Series, this generation of BMW’s rival for the A-Class is still great to drive – and more fun than the Mercedes. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class counters, however, by offering rather more elegant styling.
