A modern car with the sporty look, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class knows how to captivate the attention of car lovers out there. It is loaded with remarkable features too, thus making it very impressive as a luxury compact car.
In the case of the 2020 BMW 3-Series, expect more standard safety features for its base trim. There is also the addition of the performance-loaded M3440i to the list. The Gran Turismo and Sports Wagon have been excluded from its list of offerings, though.
Design & Style
Blessed with that refined look, it is remarkable how the Mercedes-Benz A-Class is blessed with a solidly constructed body. Designed to last even on tougher terrains, this car is gifted with alloy wheels for a smoother, hassle-free ride. It has a detailed shape found on its lower end corners, which exudes its athleticism. Inside this car, you will be impressed with upscale cabin materials used to design the interior.
The 2020 3-Series, on the other hand, is pictured as a great car with four doors to help welcome five passengers. The front sears are comfortable to seat on with its power-adjustable settings. There is also enough legroom for the rear seats. It carries the Sensatec synthetic leather upholstery for all its models. Despite all these effort, the cabin is not presented as opulent as its rivals. Even low grade materials were used to design it.
Technology & Safety
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class carries plenty of technology features that guarantee enjoyment for the user. It integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in its user-friendly infotainment interface. Safety wise, you can rely on a list of features including lane assist, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control, among others.
The 2020 3-Series is equipped with the iDrive infotainment interface which promises to be the best among all BMW’s interface. Nonetheless, it still bugs down with some commands which makes it so disappointing. Voice commands are problematic for this car too. There are safety features to look forward to including the more advanced ones like forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive headlights.
Performance
Producing a maximum power of 188 horsepower, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class has fuel efficiency ratings of 24mpg for city driving and 35mpg for highway driving. There are two turbocharged versions for the BMW 3-Series, one producing 255 horsepower and the other rating at 382 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
While the 2020 3-Series strives to topple down the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, it fails to impress in some of its technologies, and even in the materials used to construct its cabin. This means that the A-Class is the better option between these two.
