ANCAP Safety
Tested
2018

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class was introduced in Australia and New Zealand in August 2018. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all petrol variants. PHEV variants are unrated.

Dual frontal airbags, side chest-protecting airbags for both the front and rear occupants, side head-protecting airbags (curtains) and a driver knee airbag are standard.

All three grades of autonomous emergency braking (City, Interurban and Vulnerable Road User) as well as lane keep assist (LKA) with lane departure warning (LDW) and an advanced speed assistance system (SAS) are fitted as standard equipment on all variants.

A full list of safety features and technologies can be viewed within the Technical Report (see download link).

NOTE: Mercedes-Benz have advised that some safety features included in the originally-rated model are not fitted to models built between December 2020 and November 2022. Removal of these features does not affect the ANCAP safety rating. See the Safety Features & Technologies table on page 8 of the ANCAP Technical Report.
