Advantages👍
- The inside.
The interior of even the cheapest Mercedes is still a Mercedes. The materials are fantastic, the workmanship is good, and the entire sensation is one of quiet, high-tech elegance, with the exception of a few knee-down level, plastic exceptions. The engine noise is kept to a minimum. The massive screen, which runs from the driver's instrument panel to the mid-dash console infotainment screen, looks fantastic and is integrated in a way that other screens appear slapped on. The ventilation controls, which are designed to resemble private jet air nozzles, are a lovely touch and well-made.
- Front seats .
This is a compact vehicle. Its size is comparable to that of a Toyota Corolla. As a result, the nice people at Stuttgart included higher-end materials to Mercedes-it-up. Those in the front seats of the A220 will benefit as well. They're quite comfortable, even on lengthy rides, and provide excellent thigh support. Mercedes' seat adjustment controls (shaped like a seat on the upper door) are the most ergonomic in the industry.
- (Handling).
The $850 dynamic body control was included in our test vehicle. We're not sure how much of the A220's sporty handling is due to that option and how much is due to the vehicle's suspension. However, the end effect was a car with a dynamic feel and well-weighted steering that made it feel confident in turns. The car's selectable "sport mode" became tiresome after a short period, but even in "comfort" mode, the car handled admirably.
- (Power).
With 188 horsepower and a 4-cylinder turbo, we found the A220 to be adequately powerful for our daily driving. In these days of ubiquitous 250 hp four-cylinder engines, it's not an astounding amount of horsepower. We, on the other hand, had no problems. It easily scoots the automobile around.
- The Mileage.
According to the EPA, you'll see 28. We only saw around 25 of them, but we did a lot more town and country driving than freeway driving. You might be able to do better. If you do, that kind of mileage in a sporty car will likely satisfy you.
Disadvantages👎
- (Comfort.)
Aside from the seats, one area where the A Class falls short of its larger, more expensive Mercedes brothers is comfort. The journey is strenuous. The automobile is also low to the ground, making access and egress a little more difficult for people who aren't used to bending and squatting. In the age of crossovers, cars this low are starting to feel like an anachronism.
- Low lag in speed.
While the overall power was adequate, there were instances when we pressed the gas pedal and had to wait a few moments for power, especially at low speeds. The majority of it is due to turbo lag. However, there were a few instances where the dual clutch, 7-speed automatic appeared to be looking for the proper gear at very low speeds. We never had a problem with speed.
- Controls for the infotainment .
This system continues to irritate us. The principal form of input is touch pads, which we find difficult to operate effectively. They make you stare at the screen for longer than is necessary. It's also simple to accidentally swipe one of the touch pads and lose your favourite song just when it's about to become good.
- Backseat.
It's not terrible, but it's abysmally low. Welcome to the world of your knees.
- Extra blind spot
We're pleased to note that the A220 includes the fundamental safety features. Collision warning and automatic emergency braking are included. Unfortunately, features like as blind spot detection, rear cross traffic warning, and lane keeping come at an additional expense.
