3. How does it compare to other cars in its class? 
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class competes with several other vehicles in its class. Here are a few comparisons:
BMW 218i GranCoupe: The BMW 218i GranCoupe is a competitor of the A-Class. It’s priced from RM217k, which is lower than the A-Class.
Audi A3 Sedan: The Audi A3 Sedan is another competitor, but it’s priced significantly higher, starting from RM327k.
BMW 3 Series: The larger BMW 3 Series starts from RM264k, which is similar to the price of the A-Class.
Mercedes-Benz C-Class: Interestingly, Mercedes-Benz’s own C-Class is also a competitor, with prices starting from RM293k.

Each of these cars has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the best choice depends on your specific needs and preferences.

Sure, here are the key differences between each generation of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class:
First Generation (W168; 1997-2004): The first generation A-Class was a five-seater compact car suitable for driving through heavy traffic. The five-door hatchback was powered by a 4-cylinder inline engine that provides a top speed of 167 km/h. The car was designed on a 95.4-inch wheelbase with a total cargo capacity of 391-litre.
Second Generation (W169; 2004-2012): The second generation A-Class, codenamed W169, was constructed with high-strength steel alloys and increased in cargo capacity by 15 percent compared to the W168 A-Class. Unlike the previous or next generation, this generation of A-Class had a 3-door and 5-door option.
Third Generation (W176; 2012-2018): The third generation A-Class was longer than the first-generation B-class.

6. What is the engine and transmission options available for A-class? 
Sure, here are the engine and transmission options available for the Mercedes-Benz A-Class:
Petrol Engines:
- A180: This model uses a 1.3-litre, four-cylinder engine sourced from Renault. The entry-level A180 delivers 136 hp, which is on par with entry-level versions of all its rivals. It’s nippy rather than quick, with punchy acceleration around town, though it feels a little breathless on the open road. 0-62mph takes 9.2 seconds.
- A200: If you want a little more power, the A200 delivers 163hp for an 8.2 second 0-62mph sprint. It also delivers identical claimed fuel economy, which we suspect would actually prove to be a little better in the real world as the additional power and torque would mean the engine works less hard.
- AMG A35: The Mercedes AMG A35 hot hatch performance model has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produces 306hp and 400Nm of torque – enough for 0-62mph in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 155mph.
Diesel Engines:
- A200d: There’s now just one diesel option, with the A200 d the sole survivor. The A200 d is a good mixture, with 150hp and plenty of torque making it a perfect match for a VW Golf TDI or a BMW 118d.
Transmission:
- Both petrol engines are paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox which offers smooth shifts but can get a little confused in stop-start traffic.
- The A200d uses an eight-speed automatic gearbox which like the seven-speed of the petrols is more than smooth and responsive enough.
These engines and transmissions are designed to provide a balance of performance, efficiency, and refinement. As always, the best choice depends on your specific needs and preferences.
