The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is the traditional sedan in the brand’s compact cars lineup. As an excellent mix of comfort and performance, the A-Class is on top among other entry-level sedans. As for the rival brand Audi, the 2019 version of the A3 is the last one before the planned major redesign next year. Both cars are attractive and are well-applauded. Which one will reign to be the best when compared side by side? Read on to find out.
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class has a sporty look, despite the traditional sedan shape. The front and rear overhangs are short, giving it a sporty stance. There are also pronounced wheel arches that drape over the wheels. The low hood and slim headlights complement well with the signature grille, with the Mercedes-Benz star at the center.
Despite the dated appearance, the latest A3 still remains as one of the most attractive cars in its class. The angular LED lights and the clean-cut body lines give the A3 a sleek and sharp-looking appeal. The front intakes and 18-inch wheels make it look sportier than it actually is.
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class has a lot of standard features that other luxury cars don’t have on their base models. Its state-of-the-art infotainment system features a 7-inch screen and is already compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Standard safety features include airbags, attention assist, and a clear rearview camera.
Audi offers a lot of tech features for the 2019 A3. The problem, however, is that most of the advanced features are only available as options. This would mean that you will have to shell out more money, depending on the upgrade package that you will have.
The 2.0-liter engine of the A-Class can easily give up to 188 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. The impressive steering capabilities make driving the car a fun experience. It also has a nicely balanced braking system that is easy to modulate.
Although it produces the same 221 lb-ft of torque, the 2.0-liter engine of the new A3 can only give up to 186 horsepower. The car’s weight becomes a huge factor as the car accelerates, making it a little difficult to maneuver.
If you are looking for a car that looks great, well-equipped with technology and delivers a noteworthy performance, then the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is the best choice. Its styling is more current and has that futuristic appeal compared to the A3. Its set of standard features for technology and safety gives more value to your money since you do not have to add more for it. As for performance, driving the A-Class is intuitive. It is easy to drive with confidence at any speed.
