The Mercedes-Benz A-Class debuted in 1997. At that time, it looked very different than it does today, with more of an MPV style. Through its four generations, it has slowly changed to become the traditional hatchback that it is today. Each generation has delivered new powertrain options, upgraded technology and a sleeker style.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class video review
Different generations of used Mercedes-Benz A-Class
Third Generation (2013 to 2022)
Starting with the third generation, the compact MPV shape was eliminated as the A-Class adopted a conventional hatchback design, becoming a lot more desirable to younger buyers.
The interior was also upgraded with circular air vents and a built-in infotainment system that is similar to a tablet. Added safety features included the collision prevention assist that provided automatic braking.
With a 2015 update, the front fascia was modified to include two slats in the grille, similar to the one from the C-Class. However, the AMG models only had a single slat. The hatchback also offered a fresh, more modern appeal, designed to appeal to younger drivers.
