Would you choose this plug-in hybrid over alternatives like the Audi A3 TFSI e and Golf GTE? Let us know below! Oh - and eagle-eyed viewers will notice that we filmed with a hatchback, but our review features some Mercedes-supplied clips of an A250e saloon. Rest assured both versions drive identically :)

Love the way it changes from a hatch to a saloon.

[@loomyair]

Revolutionary

[@JP5isalive]

Like a transformer. Very clever.

[@jays4533]

And from pre to post facelift

[@werdnasretep]

Now done 14000 miles in mine since AUG22. Summer range 45 displayed / 40 achievable - in coldest weather 27 / 22. On battery level mode regularly see 50 + mpg on long runs. Modes are painful to me - and the paddles are a waste of time. Boot is too small but interior feels a good size once you’re in..

[@NOTaMOD]

Was debating this! I am not sure if use one as a solely electric car but would hybrid it pretty much everywhere! so when running it in Hybrid mode on a run you see over 50mpg real world?

[@werdnasretep]

@@NOTaMOD Yesterday I got 50.5 on a 205 mile journey - petrol only - mode set as battery level - battery has been empty for a few days as the domestic charge cable threw a fault last Thursday (none available until March - quite a common issue apparently). Cheers

[@ihsanky3998]

I thought the mpg would have been better. My Lexus Ct200h does 55 mpg in summer 50 mpg in winter. And as you probably know it’s not plug-in hybrid it charges itself. Downside is it’s not being produced anymore.

[@werdnasretep]

@@ihsanky3998 I guess the issue with the A250 is it’s lugging a battery and motor around as well as me 🙂

[@high4622]

how much range do you have when youre only riding in hybrid mode>?

[@5uper5kill3rz]

She seems like the exact target market of a white a class😂 I remember when my ex’s sister got one, bet she thought it was quicker than my JCW cause it was a merc 🤣

[@brianerrington]

Battery range in winter 14 miles full charge, in summer it waw 28-32. The 1.3 Renault engine rough sounding.

[@JP5isalive]

Renault engine! Aaaah! Won't be Renault money though.

[@JohnnyMotel99]

I rode as a passenger in the AMG version, road noise was ridiculously high and that was on main roads. The owner had only just bought it and it would be embarrassing to mention the noise.

[@Moccalocca100]

Bro thats an amg

[@pmas27]

Doesn’t mention its boot space is 75litres less than the standard non hybrid saloon, expect similar reduction in hatchback which incidentally has poor boot space anyway compared to rivals A3, Golf etc. The headrests on these seats though look flash and sporty are awful (how do you adjust height as looks wrong height in video for the shorter driver), not good for rear seat passengers as they block out light and cause travel sickness (letterbox gap not much help) as well as adding to the cramped leg space, Mercedes need to open their eyes more when doing any upgrades to a model, though interiors look nice they spend too much time messing with technology and not enough on practicality.

[@doyle201206]

I get 50mpg from a petrol golf estate, where’s the advancement?

[@michaelfoote751]

I had the A250e saloon.. 2020 model worst car ever! The electric dash failed multiple times. Mercedes refused to replace as there was no fault code, yet they could clearly see there was an issue... and as for the 44 miles lol.. more like 30 if ur lucky..

[@just_incredible]

Does this model self charge while driving?

[@efficient1941]

Yes

[@leorxt2504]

no, you need to charge it at the station. There are 2 holes in both side one for petrol one for electric.

[@lawrencetaylor4318]

Yes it does regen when driving. There is even a nice graphic in the EQ menu showing when it is taking power or making power!

[@vviiper]

I'd have to have had my head bounce off of a kerb before being capable of thinking that a hybrid is a good idea

[@JP5isalive]

Haha, well said!

[@MarcinKowalskiPL]

Why?

[@lawrencetaylor4318]

depends on what you want it for and how you use it. Short daily trips and ability to charge at home then it is great.

[@tahirmahmood5966]

Nice

[@jonj77]

Wish they sold this in USA.

[@hey5746]

That’s not a review but an add

[@bricksmarble2588]

I have this car on 21 plate and I can guarantee you it’s much quicker than the stated 0-60 of 6.6 seconds. It can do it in 4.8 seconds

I drove this car since 2021 but it doesn't work very well for me. Not a chance 40 miles... I am changing my car to petrol now. Just keep charging it made my electric bill boom

[@Moccalocca100]

Really? Can you elaborate more please. And did you change to petrol after all?
