Imagine this, a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that generates 188 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission handling the gear shifts. A car that can go from zero to 100 kph in 4.2 seconds according to independent testing.
Now stop imagining and discover the new Mercedes A-Class Sedan with comes in two variants. A front-wheel-drive A220 and the all-wheel-drive 4Matic A220.
But this car is not just about power, Mercedes describe it as “revolutionary.” That’s exactly how it looks and feels too.
“A is for attention-getting. The clean lines and aggressive stance of the A-Class Sedan are designed to capture admiring eyes. Its ultramodern cabin and premium appointments aim to captivate its driver and passengers for years to come.”

The A-Class Sedan is fitted with MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience), which provides the driver with a completely new way to operate the vehicle. Using intuition and the art of learning your preferences each day. Imagine a car that almost knows you as much as you do yourself.
In terms of safety features, the new A-Class Sedan can warn you of an impending collision, support you when braking and taking evasive action or even autonomously brake the vehicle to a standstill in emergencies.
The car’s interior has been designed for luxury and comfort, something you don’t find in most entry level luxury models. The interior’s premium look lives up to the Mercedes philosophy of “the best or nothing.”
Three circular air vents add decorative flair to the centre stack, and the cabin can be upgraded with upscale options such as leather upholstery, heated front seats and LED interior lighting. The front seats deliver memorable comfort, and that helps make the A-class perfect for long drives. A standard folding back seat allows you to accommodate items too large to fit in the trunk which offers about 255 litres of luggage space.
The car is retailing locally for about Sh 6 million. You can ask for a quote or visit your nearest DT Dobie showroom for viewing or a test drive.
