Mercedes A200d
The Mercedes A-Class Limousine offers a great driving experience and it gets rich quality inside out making it feel unlike an entry-level model

The Mercedes A-Class Limousine offers a great driving experience and it gets rich quality inside out making it feel unlike an entry-level model
Very seldom we see entry-level models from luxury automakers not succeeding in the market. Take Mercedes-Benz for example; they had the A-Class, B-Class, GLA and CLA as their entry-level products for India and all of them fetched pretty good sales with the A, GLA and CLA being very successful while the B-Class found moderate victory in the sales charts. The A-Class arrived here in 2013 and this snazzy-looking hatchback did really well for itself and was a good stepping stone for people looking to try their hands out on a luxury vehicle for the first time.
The A-Class hatchback got discontinued a couple of years back while the CLA got shunned from the line-up sometime back too. Times have changed and now the new A-Class which the German automaker is gearing up to launch on 25th March is no longer a hatchback, it is a sedan and it sits perfectly to fill the void left by the A hatchback and CLA.
I admit I didn’t find a liking to the design of the A-Class Limousine when I saw it in pictures for the first time. The styling felt quite simple and basic and my opinion quickly turned around when I saw the vehicle in person here. Thankfully, I got to see the sedan in 4 different colours (Grey, White, Black and Yellow (AMG)) and while I personally found the white shade to be a bit too sober, the A Limousine does look fantastic in the other colours and the simple styling works in its favour.
Mercedes designed the vehicle with the theme of “purity” which is why this car lacks unnecessary creases and cuts. The Mercedes A200d bears a little resemblance to the CLA but the latter was more of a coupe-sedan while this one is a proper sedan and the differences are clearly visible from the side and rear.
Now, the Mercedes A200d isn’t very big in terms of dimensions. The length is 4549 mm which is exactly the same as the 5th gen Honda City and a bit longer than the BMW 2-Series Gran Coupe but Mercedes has smartly positioned the wheels towards the corners of the car in a way that the overhangs aren’t too long and the wheelbase stands at 2729 mm which is again more than that of the 2-Series. The Mercedes A200d will be offered in a single fully-loaded trim level and the wheels that you see on this car are standard.
The vehicle has a drag coefficient of 0.22 and the wheels also have these black elements in them to help out with the aerodynamics. For those looking to spruce up their car, you get the Carbon Style package for Rs. 1.48 lakh and it includes a rear spoiler, B-pillar carbon fibre trim, front apron lip spoiler and side skirts.
The cabin of the Mercedes A200d is a massive step up from the older A and CLA. It feels plusher than before, there’s a lot more equipment and even the design & quality are quite upmarket. This car doesn’t really feel like an entry-level model which is a great thing. I loved the overall layout of the dashboard, the design of the centre console and those beautiful AC vents. The steering wheel is shared with some siblings of the A Limo and I would have preferred a slightly smaller wheel. The vehicle gets 5 USB Type-C ports – one in the centre, two under the front armrest and two below the rear AC vents.
The dashboard is flanked by a large glass slab consisting of two 10.25-inch screens; one each for the instrument cluster and infotainment system. Bigger models like the E-Class and S-Class get bigger screens but the layout remains similar. The displays have a crisp resolution and the MBUX system offers good usability too.
It boasts of the usual connectivity options and also gets in-built navigation along with Alexa connectivity so you can give some voice commands and control a number of functions by just saying, “Hey Mercedes” followed by the command. The sound quality is just fine but of course not as good as that of the high-quality Burmester audio systems that we see in bigger Mercs.
Mercedes is offering three variants of the Mercedes A200d – A200, A200d and A35 AMG and we drove the standard petrol variant which gets a 1.3-litre turbocharged engine delivering 163 horses and 250 Nm of twist. This is the same engine that is offered on the Renault Duster and Nissan Kicks and it has been jointly developed by the Renault-Nissan alliance along with Mercedes. The engine is noisy and some of the sound is filtered inside the cabin as well, even at low RPMs. At high RPMs, the engine becomes quite vocal but it sounds good.
