When it comes to style and performance in a compact car, there are few automakers out there who do it better than Mercedes-Benz. The 2020 A-Class is an embodiment of this fact. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class comes with a host of features and has the distinct quality and performance that you would expect from a Mercedes-Benz model. It is also spacious and affordable.
Mazda went all out when designing the 2020 Mazda 3. While the car comes with a catchy exterior design, there are some problems with this model. For starters, the hatchback has glaring blind spots thanks to the sloping design. Let us compare these two cars and see how they stack up against each other.
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class comes with a sporty look that is sure to stand out in any parking lot. Mercedes-Benz has given the 2020 A-Class front overhangs that enhance its sporty stance. Inside the car, you get the premium feel that you would expect from a Mercedes-Benz. The instrument panel is designed in a way that puts everything within reach.
The Mazda A3 has a stylish exterior with narrow headlights that give this compact car a very sporty look. The interior though is somewhat cramped and as mentioned earlier, the design of the hatchback presents visibility problems.
When it comes to technology and safety, the 2020 A-Class leads by a wide stretch. The car features music streaming technology as well as *Bluetooth® connectivity. This is great for streaming music from your devices and more. A 7-inch infotainment screen is standard although this can be upgraded to a 10-inch touchscreen display. Other features include lane-assist as well as blind-spot monitoring.
The 2020 Mazda A3 comes with an 8-inch infotainment display but that is where the good news ends. Features such as phone connectivity and others that are standard in the A-Class are not available in the A3. To get a good sound system in the A3, one must upgrade to higher trims which means paying more money.
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class comes with a 2-liter turbocharged engine that generates an impressive 188 horsepower. Given the sub-compact nature of the 2020 A-Class, this makes the car very fast and powerful. The suspension system is finely tuned to deliver a superb ride and the car handles well on the road.
The base model of the Mazda 3 comes with a 2-liter engine that delivers about 155 horsepower. This is generally adequate to power this sub-compact car although drivers looking for a thrilling ride are likely to be disappointed. Handling is fairly good although the suspension can be a little stiff.
While these two cars come with great exterior designs, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class offers much more to the discerning driver. Ride quality, interior comfort and engine performance are superior to the 2020 Mazda A3. For these reasons, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class wins this comparison.
