MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A140 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 AVANTGARDE ACS

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A140 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 AVANTGARDE ACS is a compact five-door hatchback bringing Mercedes-Benz branding to a city-friendly size. In the UK it bridges small hatchbacks and premium family cars: easy to park with a more upmarket feel than basic rivals. Its tall shape gives an airy cabin and flexibility.
With its 1.4-litre petrol engine and five doors, the A140 suits urban errands, commuting and shorter family trips, especially for drivers who value compact size over sporty performance. Avantgarde trim gives it a distinctive, better-equipped feel, while its upright design stands apart from Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa alternatives. It is a practical small car with premium appeal, ideal for new drivers, not a spacious or fast family hatch.
