The Mercedes‑Benz A‑Class A180 (often imported as “ex-Japan”, 2WD) is a compact luxury hatchback known for blending premium-brand comfort with everyday practicality. It typically comes with a ~1.6-litre petrol inline-4 engine producing about 122 ps (≈ 90 kW) and 200 Nm of torque. The A180 is front-wheel drive (2WD) and usually fitted with a 7-speed automatic transmission — a setup that gives decent performance for city and highway driving, while keeping controls simple and comfortable. Inside, the A180 seats five and offers a premium-feeling cabin with quality finishes, making it a more upscale option than many regular hatchbacks — a good balance if you want a “luxury feel” without a large SUV’s size or cost. Because many of these units are imported from Japan (hence “ex-Japan”), they are often well maintained and come with modest mileage relative to many used cars locally.
