New Mercedes A-Class 2018

I fancy this as my next car. I currently have a Seat Leon FR 1.8Tsi 2013 reg. Not seen many real world owner reviews yet so wondering if there are any?

Also on the UK Mercedes web site there is no way of ordering the model shown in most reviews UK prices revealed for all-new Mercedes A-Class

The mountain grey with the black 19" alloys looks stunning. Is it still early days to order this particular model?

Those headlights could have come straight from the VW Group parts bin.

It does look a bit more balanced than the current one, it always looked like they designed the saloon/estate (CLA) first and the hatch was a compromise. The droopy nose still doesn't work on that body style though.

It's nice to see some lighter colour panels in the interior even if it is just a different shade of grey, although the blue LEDs don't do much to alleviate the aluminium-effect trim.

It's not my sort of thing but I'll be interested to see what the new estate is like.

Crikey and if you thought the previous model stuck on screen looked a bit odd... Aside from that I think the interior looks a bit more upmarket than the last model. I wonder how expensive the A45 will end up being.

The new A class looks lovely, but I just can't understand the pricing. Starting off at £25,800 for the entry level diesel or £27,500 for the petrol - before you get to the options list to actually make it look anything like the nice photos and getting the two full large screens etc.

An Audi A4 is only 2k more, starting from £27,815 - but after discounts is only £22,106 from a broker. Far better value for a larger car, and for something that also has a very nice interior. The options I'd want to add are also, broadly, less expensive on the A4...

I'm sure plenty of people will still buy them, but, financially it just doesn't seem to stack up to me unless MB expect to sell them all on finance/leases.

It’s a brand new model, that is why. However Mercedes is in my experience always up for making a deal, a huge deal. But you got to ask for it
