Mercedes has chosen to price its entry-level A-Class at £18,945, almost £1,000 lower than Volvo’s impressive new V40 which joins the premium small hatch segment dominated by BMW’s 1 Series, Audi’s A3 and the class-defining VW Golf GTI.

The new optional ‘AMG RIDE CONTROL sport suspension with adaptive damping’ will be available as a 2320.50 Euro option (approx £2,000) on both Roadster and gull-wing Coupé.
Maserati’s GranCabrio is the latest recipient of the company’s all-alloy 444 bhp 4.7-litre V8 engine, which is already used to power the GranTurismo S and Quattroporte Sport GT S saloon.
