Mercedes-Benz has rolled out a price reduction of $6000 for its cheapest model in Australia, with the base A-Class becoming less expensive in both hatchback and sedan forms. The A 200 hatch is now priced at $56,900 before on-road costs, down from $62,900 plus on-roads. Similarly, the A 200 sedan now costs $58,400 before on-roads, discounted from $64,400 plus on-road costs previously.
Those price cuts come at the cost of metallic paint and a panoramic sunroof, both of which were previously standard features – now available as optional extras. Mercedes-Benz says the price cuts are based on customer feedback and are intended to provide “greater flexibility and options when configuring vehicles”. 100s of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now.

All metallic finishes are available for $600, with Patagonia Red commanding an additional price of $1500. A panoramic sunroof, previously standard, is now available as an option for $1500. If both metallic paintwork (excluding Patagonia Red) and a panoramic sunroof are selected on the A 200 hatch, its price returns to the original sticker figure for both the hatch and sedan.
The changes to the A 200 follow recent pricing updates to Mercedes-Benz’s GLA 200 and GLE 300d SUVs in Australia. Both A 200 hatch and sedan variants are powered by a 1.3-lit.
