CarTell take

We haven't driven the A-Class yet. On paper, mercedes' next entry hatch will be a CLA-based EV rather than a W177 successor, so new orders depend on remaining factory allocation. Confirm availability with your dealer and chase run-out drive-away deals.

Why consider it

  • MBUX with dual 10.25-inch screens still presents better than most rivals, and the AMG A45 S at 310 kW remains the most powerful hot hatch on sale in Australia.

What to know

  • Nameplate is in global run-out, so parts supply and resale risk over five years is real.
  • Rear-seat space is tightest in the premium small-car segment.

Who it suits

Badge-led buyers chasing the cheapest three-pointed star hatch, run-out bargain hunters chasing final-stock drive-away deals, and hot-hatch enthusiasts after the A45 S.
