Space. The reason why consumers buy a Mercedes-Benz A-Class over its rivals. It has a very MPV-esque feel about it so head, leg and kneeroom are all first class and there's enough space for three adults in the rear. The boot is a massive 435 litres but when the 60/40 split seats fold over it becomes simply gargantuan at 1,995 litres - that's enough for weekend luggage for all your passengers. The rear seats fold flat and the boot opening is wide for easy access. The A Class has Mercedes-Benz's typical sturdiness about it, too. The interior looks and feels first-rate with the highest quality of plastics used in its construction. The attention to detail to the quality of the exterior is also excellent |
