Test Drive

Briefly: Mercedes-Benz A 200 CDI 4matic

Without a doubt, the combination is pleasant, as it can be offered to both older (calm) and younger (dynamic) drivers. The first will praise the smoothness of the ride, the second - the dynamic design, and everyone will be happy. The 100 kilowatt (136 "horsepower") engine paired with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (7G-DCT) isn't a breakthrough, but it does the job well.

We resented him a little for being a bit overwhelmed on cold mornings and at stops at intersections (before he took over the short-stop engine shutdown system), but otherwise he took care of the test flow (6 to 7 liters ). suitable assortment. The 4Matic all-wheel drive comes in handy in a winter idyll, and we were impressed by the transparency of the dashboard. The gauges are nice and you can choose from individual menus, for example, from speed to statistics from past trips.

Unfortunately, the test car did not have a navigator, but there was a collision avoidance system and a driver fatigue detection system. It also had accessories with loud AMG lettering: sports seats, leather steering wheel with red stitching, imitation carbon fiber on the dashboard, 18-inch aluminum wheels, additional drilled front brake discs, pronounced spoilers and two tailpipe ends (on each side) ... ) are impressive. It's not kitschy, it's not over the top, just enough to make the car look sporty and elegant at the same time. Are you surprised then that this did not go unnoticed even by casual passers-by?
