2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine | First Drive Review | PowerDrift
ਆਟੋ ਅਤੇ ਵਾਹਨ
The A-Class hasn’t been as hot a model for Mercedes in India as it would have liked. And to be fair, it had its issues. Mercedes found them, rectified them, added a few bits and bobs and...still weren’t satisfied. So they flipped the whole thing inside out and gave us an all-new A-Class, now suffixed with a ‘Limousine’! Raunak’s been out sampling it, and attempting Dom impressions for some reason, but he does end up getting a few important questions answered. What do you lot think? Is it time to give the A-Class the good ol’ college try out? Let us know in the comments as usual!

there is a gimble shaking problem in the display explaining part 😐
Rear looks exactly like kizashi..
Sunroof paranomic nai hai bas ye drawback hai
Absolute family ❤️
You stole singhee’s shoes 😟 Not cool bro 😐 Just kidding 😉😉 👍🏻👍🏻 unka fav colour red hai I guess 🙃
Go for Honda Civic or Skoda Superb with many features
I like his moustache🔥👍
I watch PD for the high quality content and resolution but I saw some sensor dust in the B roll footage, rest was great as usual.
if i want a car with that 1.3 engine, i will buy a duster. Its same engine, shared across MB, Renault and Nissan!
Can we get a comparo between the A class and the 2 series
Looks like logo-changed-hyundai-verna
You are the versed
Am i the only one who is finding it... ummm ugly?!?
The yellow car -> A45 hatchback
Dashboard 💥 Awesome PD ♥️
Do u scrap the bottom while climbing the speed breakers?
Lols that puppy impression was better than the Vin D.
A53s
Aàa0
Need a comparison video between seltos turbo manual and honda city
Plz bring a comparison btwn BMW 2 Series and Mercedes A class......
an expensive honda city
Never have i ever seen an uglier Merc
What's the Ground Clearance for A 200d.
Great job Raunak :)
I would buy the Skoda superb for this price ... It’s too expensive 😬
The petrol engine is the same engine that comes with Renault Duster Turbo & Nissan Kick Turbo.
I want this 🤤
2:26 🥶🥶
Swift Dzire for the Rich 🤭
Love the way you do reviews ! Great and not over the top is what exactly was the need of the hour for PD when it came to car reviews...and you nail it.

Thank you, Kunal! :)
Power drift is like once a rebellion now one of those politicians 😕
Not at all Impressed
For 40 Lakhs and a FWD layout, i do not find it worth.
any info abt ground clearence👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻
That is a ciaz not definitely German
How much it's valuable against Superb ??
Is the lens dirty or there is some dust particle in your sensor? It's normally visible in high aperture shots!
Hey, its the same background score from the Z4/R1250 review.... !!
I can't wait for BMW G310 GS limousine
Is it a rear wheel drive?

Nope, FWD
@powerdrift Does this 1.3 has anything to do with the ones being used in the renault-nissan family? Cause the same was co developed with Daimler right?

But it's such a classic!
Is it possible to compare superb with this one, along with the after sale service
A class is not a limo its mediocre
What the heck is that front look.. That boundary between the front fender and the bumper with that Squinty eyed Headlights 😑😑 why is that there. So much similar with the BMW 2GC Btw what's your pick Raunak This Merc or The 2GC 😅 coz both are priced almost the same

What a pathetic narration!!! Why are you people trying so badly to crack lame jokes?? Did someone put that in your KPI from management? If there was a power drift mode, the good old one. Please switch to it ASAP. That spoke lot about passion, content and technical stuffs!!!

True, unless they still think Merc gives you bragging rights
Isn't Audi A3 better than this new Mercedes?
0:02 , Not only sounding, But also looking like Dom😂😂
When i sow the 1.3 ltr part... In my mind... DAMN BOY... FINALLY A MERC THAT I CAN AFFORD...🔥 5 minutes later... 🥺🥺🥺 Ok.... I'll wait for the new skoda rapid. 2x🥺 (when ever that is )

For the first time I'm liking a Mercedes from every single corner.
Please make a video on new swift facelift version.. Eagerly waiting.
I'm soo proud of my humble H City. It is same as the New Merc(in size) and with a bigger engine.. :D

I have to agree. The new city is pretty much perfect sedan for India. For those who are willing to shell out lots more cash for a bit more quality, this Merc is for them.

40L for what? Anyone who has 40L should be crazy to buy this for that kind of money. An entry level car that price makes no sense what so ever. Just buy the Octavia or a superb
Cool review, it was great to watch 👍

Thank you, Afraz!
You have got to be kidding me. 40 Lakhs for a 1.3 litre Mercedes which is about the same size as Honda city. What the fuck are they charging this premium for. It's not like they had to pay extra taxes for bigger engine or bigger size. They are selling this car for 25Lakhs in Europe. This is just unacceptable. You could get A45s (which has a handbuilt engine) for this price there. No wonder people aren't buying these so called luxury cars. It's the same story with all of them. Every car you see they cost twice as much here ,even when they are Made in India. THEY AREN'T TAKING US FUCKING SERIOUSLY. And then people think Indians are poor because we drive small cars. We drive small cars because those are the only cars that makes any fucking sense buying. After cars like City,Seltos,Verna everything is so fucking overpriced. Even a honda civic cost 25 lakhs. WHAT THE FUCK! WE EARN LESS AND WE PAY MORE FOR EVERYTHING.
To me this is absolutely BEA-utiful.... 😀 Love the A-Class Limousine but even still its quite pricey withn the price range... The review itself is amazing as always... no second thoughts about it!

So not worth it. I'd prefere buying a used A3 Cabriolet if I had the money.

163 🐎 vs city's 120, 400 l boot space vs city's 500+ and you set a comparo with Honda City on wl base and dimensions.. H has stepped up in their game.. and a spl mention to that 55km electronic gimmick, which will make overtaking slow moving vehicles on narrow state highways a night mare.. so you should pick up more than 60kmph and look for a range 100mts behind a slow moving van and overtake is it?? if not for the Tristar logo, vfm will push you towards the top end city.. of course bonnet raisers and air bags for knees will have to be missed..
40 lakh is much for this🤦♂️
Easily the best interior in the segment.

Actually, I find the front end to be more polarising than the rear.

It doesn't make sense spending 40 lakhs on a car like this. Better buy a superb

@pinky finger Agreed 😊👍🏼. India’s favourite “Bada gaadi” the farchuner is 40L plus now and people line up in showrooms already .. But It’s good Mercedes & bmw is extending the portfolio into the upper end mass market dominated by non-German SUVs.

@K J M I know 40 lacs is a lot and yes I can not afford it but still it's more accessible than let's say 10 years ago, and used market is filled with these cars that even 30 year olds now own one so yeah its still expensive but not as much as it used to be and sports cars are now new hard to get dream
I don't think the rear view is polarizing 😅 at all. Instead it's elegant and perfect for a sedan 👌
So it gets the Renault Duster’s petrol engine?
