The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class and 2022 Ford Mustang are two of the world’s most iconic cars, each in its own right. We’ve decided to compare them side-by-side to see how they stack against each other.
The A-Class has a more European design; it’s small but chiseled and purposeful. The Mustang is sleeker and more American, with curves that make it look like a sports car.
In terms of design, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class is sleeker and more modern than the Ford Mustang. The German compact sedan looks more like a hatchback than its competitor, but it can still hold four passengers comfortably in its backseat.
The two cars are similar in size: both have four doors with trunks that can fit luggage for up to five people (four passengers plus one driver).
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class may have a larger interior than the 2022 Ford Mustang, but it could be roomier. While the seating position is comfortable and visibility is good, we found less space for your left elbow than you’d like. The rear seat has plenty of headroom and legroom, though it’s also narrower than some competitors, such as Hyundai’s Veloster.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class comes standard with leather upholstery on most models, and all of them have soft-touch materials throughout the cabin. You won’t find any hard plastics in your new Benz; everything feels upscale. Some plastics do feel cheap, however—especially around buttons or switches—so keep this in mind when deciding between models with different trim levels or options packages that add things like heated seats or leather upholstery to your car.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is packed with cutting-edge safety features and technology. With a suite of driver assistance systems, including standard automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert, you’ll be able to confidently navigate the world around you.
The 2022 Ford Mustang comes equipped with its own set of advanced safety features as well: adaptive cruise control; lane keep assist; blind-spot monitoring; and rear cross-traffic alert are just some examples. And in some cases (like automatic emergency braking), these features come standard on both models!
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class will have a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that produces 200 horsepower, with an optional turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower. The 2022 Ford Mustang will have a 1.5L three-cylinder engine that produces 230 horsepower and a 2.3L EcoBoost V6 that produces 350 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque (standard). Both vehicles also offer an optional performance package for the higher-horsepower engines: The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class’s Performance Package adds 20 hp to its standard turbocharged four-cylinder; while the 2022 Ford Mustang’s Performance Package adds 10 hp to its standard turbocharged four-cylinder (and 5 more on top of that).
If you’re looking for a compact luxury sedan, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is your best bet. With room for five people plus plenty of cargo space, it’s perfect for families and small businesses alike. And with its spacious cabin and high-tech features like the MBUX infotainment system, it’s also great when you need to get some work done.
