2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class

Excess oil in the dual-clutch transmission has led Mercedes-Benz to recall 277 examples of its 2019 A-Class.

The Mercedes-Benz A180, A200, B180 and CLA200 have all been recalled over concerns of an oil leak, with just over 100 units affected in Australia.

The three-pointed star's entry-level small car offers six variants, two body styles and swathes of standard safety. Prices start from $45,100 plus on-roads.

"Hecho en Mexico", no más! Mercedes-Benz is moving A-Class Sedan to Germany as its new GLB promises to be a hotter seller.

The A250e is now the most affordable electrified Mercedes-Benz. But are the benefits enough to justify the jump in complexity and outlay of the PHEV version?
