2022 Mercedes-Benz A220 review

1. Lengthy feature list

You might be looking at the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A220's lengthy feature list and wondering which trim level might be best suited for you. Well, here's the best bit, there aren't any trim levels. Only a single A220 model is offered, which means a lot of the equipment you see on the feature list — dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable front seats, panoramic sunroof, and the Mercedes MBUX^™ infotainment interface — are all included as standard. If all this isn't enough, there are also numerous option packages offered, such as the Premium package with a larger touchscreen display and digital instrument panel.

2. Comfortable and well-equipped cabin

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A220 is billed as a compact, entry-level luxury sedan, which may give the impression that some compromises have been made when it comes to creature comforts. Not so. It seats five, with 41.8 inches of front seat legroom and 33.9 inches of rear seat legroom. And most importantly, there's no compromise on luxury. Alongside the aforementioned features, you also get equipment like adjustable ambient cabin lighting, simulated leather upholstery, and five USB-C ports as standard, to keep your passengers occupied and relaxed even on long journeys.

3. Standard engine is punchy, yet practical

With one trim level and one engine on offer, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A220 keeps things refreshingly simple. And just like that one trim level, the sole engine available covers all bases with ease. It's a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder powerplant, producing 188 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. And in a compact sedan body, that's more than enough to provide a spritely and punchy driving experience while also minimizing trips to the pumps, achieving an EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined and 35 mpg on the highway.

4. Lots of driver convenience tech

For those looking for a relaxing and stress-free driving experience, you've come to the right place. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A220 has a wide variety of driver convenience technologies on offer for maximum peace of mind out on the road. Standard tech includes an exit system, blind-spot monitoring, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. Additionally, the optional Driver Assistance Package adds adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, and the Parking Assistance package includes front and rear parking sensors and a surround-view camera system.

5. Luxury sedan with a sporty edge

Being a luxury sedan, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A220 is mostly focused on providing a comfortable and smooth ride, which it does effortlessly. But what if you want to spice things up a bit? That's exactly what the AMG Line option package is there for, as well as the optional all-wheel drive. The AMG Line package includes sportier exterior styling, 18-inch AMG wheels, lowered ride height, and a sports steering wheel with aluminum paddle shifters. Combine that with the enhanced grip and acceleration provided by all-wheel drive, as well as the spritely turbocharged engine, and you have a car that can flip from relaxing to exciting in the blink of an eye.
