Product Overview

Mercedes-Benz A-Class W176 facelift is a compact hatchback in production from 2015 to 2018. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.1 liters.

Compared to the pre-facelift model, Mercedes did the usual bumper update with some minor engine updates. Notably, an A220 was introduced to slot between the A200 and A250, and the A45 AMG received an uprating.

Mercedes-Benz has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.26 coefficient of drag to show for it. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the W176 uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
