A Is For Always

A Is For Always

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2016-08-05
The new-generation A-Class from Mercedes-Benz did not look like the A-Class to me. The new A200 petrol derivative was glinting in the sunshine, urging me to slip behind the wheel and press the start button.

I did just that and the familiar Mercedes-Benz environment welcomed me, producing the usual feeling of distinction and sophistication. The A200 is the entry level Mercedes-Benz and apparently produce 115 Kilowatts.

This feisty feature packed model offers four driving modes that are effortlessly selected at the push of a button. DYNAMIC SELECT is the feature from Mercedes-Benz that will take you from the fuel saving "Eco" mode into the next level, "Comfort". One more flick of the switch and the character of the A200 changes completely as "Sport" mode surges you forward in an enthusiastic burst. You can also select the settings and save them in "Individual" mode. So it is like having four cars in one.

Being a Mercedes-Benz the A200 did not stop there, a host of driver assist programmes including ATTENTION ASSIST and COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS are standard with the new A-Class. A drive really worth taking.
