The 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is an impressively modern car, gifted with the sportiness that you want in a luxury ride. It is praised by car buyers out there for its upscale cabin too.
For the 2021 BMW 4-Series, expect that the luxury small car is fun to drive. Just like the A-Class, it has an upscale interior too. There are powerful engines to choose from as well. It is a completely redesigned version of its predecessor.
Design & Style
Having two rows of generously-spaced seats, the 2021 A-Class can comfortably accommodate five passengers. Aside from having synthetic leather upholstery as a standard, it is also gifted with 12-way power adjustments in front. It is very convenient to enter and exit this ride too. One thing that you will love about its design and style is the use of topnotch cabin materials. On top of that, there is a 64-color ambient lighting system in it as well.
In the case of the 4-Series 2021 Version, there is not much space for its cargo area. It has two body type configurations – the coupe type and convertible version. Both can only seat up to four people. It is disappointing though that with this accommodation, those who will stay at the rear seats will find the area a bit cramped. It uses topnotch materials like the A-Class, but still it does not meet expectations.
Technology & Safety
Using the user-friendly MBUX infotainment system with the seven-inch touch screen, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class does impress for displaying crisp graphics and easily responding to user inputs. Other features to love are smartphone integration, HD radio, five USB ports, and voice controls. It is equipped with a long list of safety aids. On top of the list is the Mercedes crosswind assist. Other standard features along this line are the forward collision warning, driver attention monitor, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, and rearview camera.
For the 2021 4-Series, it uses the iDrive infotainment system with a standard 8.8-inch touch screen display. There is an optional gesture control in here that does not really need to be there at all, since it just causes confusion on the part of users. It integrates smartphone via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and has other features like USB ports, 10 speakers, navigation, and satellite and HD radios.
Performance
Under the hood of the base 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a turbo-four, 2.0-liter engine that can generate up to 188 horsepower. This has another version that rates at 302 horsepower. The 4-Series’ base, on the other hand, reaches up to a maximum of 255 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class may have a tough competitor in the 2021 BMW 4-Series, but still the A-Class is a better choice over the other. It is for the many reasons that has been explained in this comparison.
