Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A160 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 ELEGANCE AUTO REV 01 is a compact five-door hatchback with a premium-badged alternative to mainstream small cars. Its tall shape makes good use of a modest footprint, suiting town streets and tight parking while giving occupants a spacious feel.
The automatic and raised seating make it easy-going in town, while five doors help with passengers. It suits commuters, couples and families seeking a premium-feeling car. Compared with a Fiesta or Polo, its unusual tall shape and airy cabin stand out; it favours comfort and practicality over sporty driving. As an older car, condition and upkeep matter too.
