MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A140 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 CLASSIC ACS
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A140 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 CLASSIC ACS is a compact five-door petrol hatchback, designed to bring Mercedes-Benz comfort and an upmarket feel to everyday city driving. Its upright shape makes it easier to get in and out of than many small hatchbacks, while keeping a relatively small footprint for parking.
With its tall cabin and flexible seating, this A140 suits commuters, first-time buyers and small households needing practical town transport rather than a fast or spacious family car. It stands out from Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa rivals with its distinctive high-sided design and premium badge, though running costs and condition matter on a car of this age.
