The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (2005-08) A160 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 CDI AVANTGARDE SE AUTO is a compact five-door hatchback, offering an upright, space-conscious alternative to conventional small family cars. In the UK used market, it sits between city-sized hatchbacks and larger family models, with Mercedes-Benz badge appeal and an automatic gearbox.
