Did you say just 107 bhp? Is not it too less?

Well, for us power-hungry souls, more power is never enough! However, while the A Class CDI disappoints us a little in this regard, it never really felt under-powered. True, no one but those with IQ of a cauliflower would take this car to a drag racing event but the A Class CDI still manages to impress us with the way it can comfortably cruise at speeds north of 130kmph, all this while returning fuel economy figures that would keep the accountant happy. Power delivery is linear and the car starts feeling pretty lively as soon as the tacho needle nears the 1500rpm mark. For the A Class, this 2143cc oil burner comes mated to a 7 speed DCT transmission that offers seamless shifts. However, this transmission could do with being a tad quicker when shifting gears, at least in the ‘Sports’ mode.

Another area of concern here is the NVH. Firstly, tyre noise is definitely on the higher side and this is prone to increase as the tires will get older and the rubber will become harder. Secondly, the engine noise from this oil burner is quite audible inside the cabin.
