The Mercedes-Benz A250e is finally here in Australia, and it furthers the case for clever plug-in hybrid technology.
Mercedes-Benz is preparing to launch a plug-in hybrid version of the A-Class, with about 70km of electric range.
Want performance, but don't want to spend AMG money? The all-new Mercedes-Benz A250 may just be the answer. Paul Maric goes for a drive to find out what it's like.
We test the 2016 Mercedes-Benz A250 Sport 4Matic to see if all-wheel drive has improved or detracted from the performance of the hot-hatch.
Plug-in hybrids don’t often get the respect they deserve – despite making sense for a large cross-section of the driving public – but after a few days with the 2021 Mercedes-Benz A250e, it’s hard to work out why PHEVs don’t get a bit more love.
Read the article here. The revised 2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class and Mercedes-AMG A45 ranges are now on sale in Australia. The mid-life updates come almost three years after the sharply styled third-generation range premiered. The A-Class is a hugely important car for Mercedes-Benz. The hatchback managed more than 3500 sales in 2015, giving it an impressive 20 per cent market share in its segment...

The German company formerly had a limited footprint in compact car classes, but now there are numerous Benz variants available, including the most affordable, the A-Class, then there’s the more practical B-Class, and Benz has recently added the new CLA-Class Shooting Brake small wagon...
Safety is a top priority for those in the market for a new car, and when it comes to active safety features AEB is changing the game -- in fact it could save your life. Modern car safety systems, like forward collision detection, can help spot danger and warn the driver.

Small luxury cars are big, big business, and no other company has captured the market quite as well as Mercedes-Benz. The German marque formerly had a limited footprint in compact car classes, but now there are a handful of affordable autos available, from as little as $36,900 plus on-road costs...
Ordinarily, pitching a pair of premium German arch rivals against one another couldn’t represent a more natural face-off. But despite being oh-so-closely priced and positioned in their makers’ ranges, there’s one level where the Mercedes-Benz A250 Sport and BMW 125i couldn’t be more misaligned. Different driven wheels? In part, yes, but it’s more about the backstories behind it...
Mercedes-Benz Australia has issued two recalls, with the first relating to 4227 examples of the A-Class with Model Years from 2018 to 2019 (MY18-MY19) due to an issue with the air conditioning drain tube. Water condensation from the air conditioning unit could leak onto electrical components, potentially causing malfunctions relating to the airbag control unit, engine starting, fuel pump, and emergency call system...

Mercedes-Benz Australia has recalled the 2019 A-Class, over concerns the glass pane of the panoramic sliding sunroof mightn't be correctly bonded. According to the company, an incorrectly bonded sunroof will create wind noise in the short term, and could detach from the car in the long term. If the glass pane detaches, there's a risk of accident or injury for the driver and other road users...
Having purchased this car brand new 6 years ago, I can say that this car has been great and I still love it today. Back in 2013 there was an eight month wait for these cars and Mercedes couldn’t make them fast enough. It was a new model, with a new shape and lots of great tech, so what wasn’t to like? It seemed like everyone wanted one...
For those of you who may not have read my previous Owner Reviews, my name is Will Varvari and I am 14 years old. I am a massive car aficionado, and absolutely love writing… hence the reason why you see me on CarAdvice doing these reviews and sharing with you my views. My two previous reviews were about BMW X5s (the E70 and the F15)...
The first thing that struck me as I saw the car in the dealership was the diamond grill, which made it look like it was wearing an expensive necklace, no wonder my wife fell in love with it! The styling makes it stand out amongst the city traffic, with the proportions and creases working to make the car look fantastic from the outside...
MERCEDES-BENZ A250 SPORT. Now the first and second generation A-class by all means was no sporty hot hatch, if you see one on the road today you wouldn't look twice. But that's a different story with the 3rd generation Mercedes A250 sport. Coming in at a base price of $49,900 it's slightly pricier than its rivals so what makes this one so special, well… Sitting under the A45 AMG the A250 sport packs a punchy 2...
