At present, many consumers are no longer limited to ordinary family cars when buying cars, and they will also consider luxury brand models. In order to attract more consumers, luxury brands not only launched entry-level models with lower positioning, but also gave large discounts.
For example, the Mercedes-Benz A-class car, the guidance price is 21.48-25.44 million yuan, is the entry-level car of Mercedes-Benz, and this car has a maximum discount of 41,200 yuan at the terminal, making the starting price as low as 173,600 yuan.
Hundreds of thousands can buy Mercedes-Benz cars, this price can be said to be very affordable, buy Civic owners may regret buying early.
Logically, such a "thick" luxury car should have many consumers to buy, but from the data of the Car 300 used car APP, the sales of Mercedes-Benz A-class are not very ideal.
The car sold only 2,695 units in December and only 59,278 in the whole of 2021, so there is still a mismatch between the results and prices.
Although the Mercedes-Benz A-Class is an entry-level model, the whole vehicle is still very sincere in shaping and designing the sense of science and technology.
The appearance creates a sense of sport, the front face is designed with a starry net, and the two sides are sharp headlight groups, which have a very good visual impact after lighting, and the front of the car is very attractive.
On the side, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class has the same outstanding posture. The through-line waistline design makes the entire body more slender and dynamic, and the edge of the window is made of silver decorative strips, which enhances the appearance of the side.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4622/1796/1459 mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2789 mm, which is a compact sedan, which has a fairly good space competitive advantage.
Inside, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class uses a dual screen design to create a good sense of technology, and the circular air conditioning outlet and small gear lever design also add to the sense of refinement. The interior of the car is wrapped in a soft material, which is also more comfortable to the touch.
In terms of configuration, keyless entry, imitation leather seats, front and rear parking radar, Bluetooth/car phone, Internet of Vehicles, front and rear power windows, electric sunroofs, etc. are all equipped, and the top model is also equipped with 64 colors of in-car mood lights, and the secondary top and middle models are also optional.
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class has little power advantage, with a 1.3T high- and low-power turbocharged engine mated to a 7-stop dual-clutch with a maximum power of 136 hp and 163 hp, with a peak torque of 200 Nm and 250 Nm.
However, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 5.93-6 liters, which has a relatively high fuel economy and is a very suitable for family cars.
On the whole, the comprehensive strength of Mercedes-Benz A-class is still good, the exterior and interior are impeccable, and it is also very cost-effective to get a luxury car with about 200,000 yuan, but for the owners who pursue power and driving experience, this car is slightly insufficient, and it has lost some consumers.
