The 2020 Mercedes Benz A220 is Compact but Jam-packed!
There is much to love about the Compact entry-level 2020 Mercedes Benz A220 sedan. In Canada, you can also get the hatchback version (not available in the US), but since 2018 the A220 sedan is new to North America and the first in the Mercedes-Benz line-up to offer the advanced technology that is UBUX, the user experience system.
Read about my experience testing it here.
The Mercedes A220 Is the entry-level sedan for the brand.
What We Loved About the 2020 Mercedes Benz A220
What’s not to love? The agility and compact size make it fun to drive and easy to park. The interior tech features are off the charts, and perhaps even a little futuristic (I mention ‘Spaceship’ in my review post here! LINK) in its design and engineering.
My favorite features are all listed in my full post covering the 11 things I loved, but to summarize, the interior lighting, the Mercedes UBUX, and the out-of-the-way gear shift were my chart-toppers.

What Do You Get for Your Money?
The Mercedes Benz A220 sedan is the entry-level option to get your foot in the door and own one of your very own iconic luxury ‘Benz’. You can drive this compact sedan off the lot for a mere $32,800 USD / $37,300 CAD and show up anywhere with pride in your ride.
In the US it comes standard 2-wheel drive with 4MATIC all-wheel-drive at an additional $2000. In Canada, 4MATIC is standard.
I was pleasantly surprised by all of the interior features and how much I loved the look, feel and functionality of the driver cockpit. The amount of design engineering that goes into this German brand is extensive.
