A is for “Advanced” and that is exactly what the 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is. The original A-Class had tremendous success and the succeeding versions also did great. This is precisely why the latest one is such an exciting car to have, you can expect it to be better than the last and its makers are able to live up to the expectations. The latest A-Class is the perfect combination of class, performance, and innovation that it can be tough for any other car to compete against. Here is a comparison with the 2019 Cadillac CT5 for the purpose of seeing how it is better than any other cars in its class.

Design & Style

The aggressive stance of the new A-Class is made more pronounced by the clean lines on its body. The design cues are meant to capture admiring eyes. It has a toned physique that warrants a glance, even though the busy crowd. The grille is subtly leaning forward to give the A-Class a fresh look that makes the car look like its slicing through the air as it speeds up.

The CT5 has a sultry silhouette and it is one of the best-looking cars there is, until the new line-up of cars from rival carmakers are making bolder enhancements. Instead of going with the flow, the CT5 chose to wear its curves and angles that are almost the same with the original release from 2014. This makes it a failure in the design department since it significantly looks old.

Technology & Safety

The A-Class shows how it is to set the bar high when it comes to in-car technology. The array of infotainment features is difficult to match since they are either too pretty to look at or too innovative. The variety of options for control also ensures that everything can be controlled seamlessly and without difficulty.

The CT5 has a few infotainment features to offer but they all work well. It is not much but it is much better compared to the previous systems.

Performance

The 188 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque engine is more than sufficient to keep the A-Class a fun car to drive. It is lightweight, agile, and quickly responds to any driving style. The throttle response and steering feel are both confidence-inspiring too.

What makes the CT5 interesting is its 268 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque engine. It is great for a quiet cruise around town and enough for daily uses.

The Bottom Line

The 2019 Cadillac CT5 is unable to offer a fresh look for its latest model and this badly hurt its chances to compete against most luxury vehicles in its segment, including the 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class. The A-Class is sleek but it also has plenty of modern in-car tech and powerful performance to impress the public even more.
