Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan

Engadget Review
Mercedes infuses its new entry-level sedan with top-level tech. The MBUX user interface is a triumph that pushes infotainment systems to the next level. Even though on paper the engine seems underpowered, on the roar the A220 has just enough power to make driving fun.
Pros
- MBUX is the best infotainment system out there
- The engine delivers more than expected
- Sweet interior accent colors for night driving
- ADAS is nearly on par with the S-Class
Cons
- Seats could be a bit more comfortable
- No hatchback model in the US
- Slightly more body roll than expected during aggressive cornering
