The A-Class is a huge seller for Mercedes in the UK. Entering mid-life, it has undergone a mild facelift for 2023. Along with it, so have all the related cars: (deep breath) the A-Class saloon, CLA four-door coupe, CLA Shooting Brake, GLA coupe-SUV and GLB seven-seat SUV.
It's a hatchback or saloon, and all specs can be had in both body styles, except the PHEV which is saloon only. The A-Class isn't cheap, but a fancy interior and auto transmission are standard across the range. Although it's quite big, it's quite cramped in the back, but it does feel like a big car on the road. In other words, it's refined and stable, easy to guide, and the ride is soft. So it's a trad Benz.
